The Dragoon corps use a variety of crew-served heavy weapons for supplemental firepower. These are frequently embedded in Dragoon squads, but can also be found in their own dedicated heavy weapons platoons when concentrated firepower is needed.
The KA.138 Mk.III Heavy Gyroc is a rapid-fire squad support weapon firing rocket-propelled projectiles. Although the ammunition is quite expensive compared to conventional firearms, the versatility of ammunition choice and utility in different environmental situations make it a valued weapon. When cost and/or complexity is a concern, the HM.8 Heavy Machinegun (in actuality a light autocannon) serves in the same role.
While the Dragoons are more than adequately supplied with large-caliber artillery, the fastest response is still provided by IE.97 Light Mortars. These small mortars are useful for laying down a quick barrage, whether it be shrapnel or smoke, leaving the heavier artillery free to focus on broader objectives.
Anti-armor teams are split between missile, projectile, and energy weapons, each filling a different niche depending on the specific target. Missile teams use the SAA.11 Songbird launcher, a heavy but versatile and rugged weapon. Its ability to fire multiple missile types and ability to be directed remotely keep it in good standing with crews.
Gun teams use either the KA.13 Autocannon or the Type 7 Light Cannon, both typically mounted on a wheeled carriage. The former is of excellent utility against lightly armored foes or the flanks of more heavily protected opponents, while the latter has excellent striking power against enemies that are well-protected against energy weapons.
Finally, energy weapon teams use either the OWL.3 or OWL.5 laser cannons. Although specialized for armor-hunting, their efficient engineering allows crews to carry more shots per kilo than any other comparable weapon.
-------------------------------------
This kit includes the parts needed to build Krevarian Heavy Weapons and their Dragoon crew members. While it shares some weapon options with the older (free) Heavy Weapons file, all weapons have been reconstructed with better fidelity. Grab the free version instead if you don't need the crew, supports, or resolution.
Eight weapons are included, most of which are compatible with the pintle ring mounts should you wish to mount them on vehicles. Ammunition and containers are also included.
This kit is presupported, but also includes unsupported STLs for those who want to print in FDM or would prefer to handle their own supports.
