(WK) FWF-III A1 “Bollwerk”

The FWF-III A1 is Weltraum Korp’s most universally adopted IFV. Designed to serve as an effective solution to the nation’s lack of an MBT, this multirole vehicle boasts many capabilites in line with the modern combined arms doctrine. The most significant design feature is the emphasis placed on crew safety. A V-shaped hull, remotely operated turret, and rear controlled drive all make the vehicle’s occupants much less prone to small arms, mines, and even some antitank weapons. The vehicle also features 2 independent 40mm autocannons; 1 High Explosive for infantry supression and light vehicle elimination, and the other HVAP or APCR with a depleted Uranium Core for combating medium or even heavy armor. Although the HVAP/APCR fed 40mm autocannon might seem prudent and outdated when faced with modern day composite armors, it has one trick up its sleeve-a disposable 40/30mm squeeze bore. The squeeze bore effectively turns a relatively simple solid projectile into a cheap Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot round - without the added cost of the complexity of such rounds. Each “Bollwerk” has a pre attached disposable squeeze bore adapter installed, and an additional 2 spare adapters to be refitted post battle. Each squeeze bore is also designed to predictably break along a “seam,” in such a way that upon being worn away by use, it will safely detatch from the end of the barrel. Each squeeze bore adapter has a minimum lifespan of 200 rounds before it is expected to break. Each 40mm autocannon can be loaded with a maximum of 120 RPG, although it is possible to feed the HVAP magazine into the HE magazine, and place a different ammunition type instead, totaling to a maximum of 240 possible consecutive rounds. Maximum firerare is roughly 2 rounds per second per cannon, although crews are advised to fire a mere 1.5 rounds per second to limit the burden placed on either cannon. It is possible to stow additional ammunition in the passenger compartment, although this is not standard issue procedure. Please refrain from high speeds over rough terrain, as despite being very redundant and capable of withstanding multiple damaging impacts, it can be easily deformed or stressed by prolonged recklessness
