Ekdromoi Wheeled TD (4 mods!)

Having had a long history of assault gun style TDs, and noting their lack of flexibility as well as weaknesses to flanking, Quantum Industries decided that it was time to delve into the world of lighter and more mobile tank destroyers. The specifications for this design was a 105mm equipped vehicle with a weight of no more than 40 tonnes on an 8x8 chassis. The subsequent design from this would be the Ekdromoi (pronounced Eck-dro-me).

Coming in at just over 36 tonnes, the Ekdromoi would successfully come in at under the required weight limit. The vehicle would feature a devastating 105mm Inky Steel Works cannon on a chassis which was capable of taking the recoil. The vehicle would possess limited composite on the front of the hull meaning that the frontal hull could take fire from medium calibre tank guns.

The vehicle was named as such after the ancient Greek warriors Ekdromoi. These warriors would be lightly armoured, and heavily armed, designed to fight in an irregular order. They could fight both within the phalanx, and when ordered, break from the phalanx in order to go and chase down enemies such as skirmishers.
