The Duke

The Duke is a pilotable heavy Corvid Grav-tank, first made pilotable by the player with the Up-Armored Edition update. The Duke is fast, with one Auxiliary and one Small weapons mount.
== Acquisitions Entry ==
Great Leader had only just rolled out the Fritz grav-tanks, leading a grand military parade down Founders Avenue, when two weeks later we got wind of a mock parade out in the Deads. Corvid Varlets and Nickels processed solemnly down the street, vagrants and drunks standing straight backed and saluting on the sidewalks. At the head of the column was The Duke, chandeliers jangling on the hood, with a man standing proudly in its turret, wearing a suit coat with epaulettes and no shirt on. As if to say: anything the Design Bureau could do, the Corvids could do too, at a fraction of the cost.Great Leader liked the joke so much he offered his own in response: a parade of Bombuchas through that same district, wired to blare a single Schlager song on repeat, for 24 hours.-MB
== Notes & Strategy ==
Comparable to the Spacer Arlo, The Duke is a hardier less maneuverable option, that in the heat of battle can use it's significantly larger overcharge pool to brawl with larger threats. 
Packing the same weapons as the Arlo, the Duke lends the pilot more leeway in surviving direct hits at the exchange of responsiveness. Despite the apparent stat differences The Duke has effectively the same strafing capacities as the Arlo given some runway. Given time, a pilot may become comfortable with pre-movement to an oncoming battle to begin combat strafing. 
== Trivia ==
* This is likely a reference to John Carpenter's 1981 movie, Escape From New York, where a crime boss "The Duke" drives a modified 1977 Chevrolet Fleetwood, complete with chandeliers.
