Revenant: Duke Nuclear Howitzer
Duke Nuclear Howitzer
Description:
The largest vehicle in the currently known Revenant armory is the Duke. In essence, it’s a nuclear howitzer with an extreme range. Its 420mm cannon lobs shells with a nuclear fission warhead, which cause massive damage at the impact zone. There are very few targets that can survive a single shell. Those who survive, are left with heavy damage, and can be killed with ease by supporting units. These supporting units are needed because a big gun comes with a big drawback: it has a large minimum range. To make it survive a little longer, Revenant scientist have given the Duke heavy armor plating, and have installed a nuclear engine to power the whole vehicle. This engine can also be used by the driver to use a special ability: overload the reactor, and creating a massive explosion, destroying the Duke, and anything unlucky enough to be close at that time. Even without overloading, the engine explodes violently when the Duke is destroyed.
Because 420mm barrels and nuclear material are hard to come by, commanders are allowed to only have 1 on the battlefield at a time, at a large cost.

Note: model and texture may change at any point during development.
Non-official comment: on of the first model with decent detail I made for this mod. Based upon the Soviet 2B1 Oka nuclear howitzer.
