Template:Ship The MAA-9 Wolverine (MBT) is a United Nations Space Command fast moving anti-air vehicle.
Overview
The Wolverine is designed for anti-air combat. In its arsenal are two pods of Argent V Missiles that are located on the left and right of the driver and gunner seats. These missiles are specialized to target and deliver their warhead to an aircraft with great speed and maneuverability. The missile pods are quite large and can be reloaded via a mechanical system in the Wolverine, which stores a small supply of missiles onboard.[1]
The laser tracking[2] targeting systems and anti-air capabilities of the Wolverine are second to none, but it can also angle its missile pods to launch missiles at ground targets, preferably stationary targets or structures. Although air vehicles generally know to steer clear, the Wolverine is quite vulnerable to anti-armor attacks both from vehicles or heavily upgraded infantry,[1] possessing only light armor. However, it is a versatile unit for rough terrain operations.[2]
The driver has the use of a pivoting[2] XM511 Heavy Grenade Launcher for defense from ground attacks, which can potentially wreck soft targets, but truly this support vehicle relies on heavier units to defend it from a determined attack. Sending a group of Wolverines on a skirmish alone is suicidal. [1]
