"Gandiva" Hover TD
The body of the tank destroyer has about the same outer dimensions as the hunter hovercar, with all four corners rounded and a low profile of about 1.5m in the interior of the main body. The body is interrupted by the shape of a 5m long, 90mm caliber cannon mounted on the top of the body, the base of the cannon built into a higher profile section in the back of the tank, about 2m tall. A scythe with a belt feed ammo box is attached to the top of the TD, right of the main cannon, on a mount with 15mm steel shield protecting anyone using it, with a hole for the scythe's ironsights and some surrounding view. The main cannon is semiautomatic, and is loaded by a manually fed side-load by the semiautomatic mechanism. Shells are ejected into a spent shell container on the right of the gun. The gun is mounted on two hydraulic rails in the transition between the barrel and the chassis, and the mount slides back into a thick k-wool rubber pad with each shot to absorb recoil. Sighting the gun is performed through a scope built into the tank, and the gun position can be adjusted by a few high tooth count gears by the gunner. Te top of the tank has two hatches behind the gun and two in front. All lock from the inside. The armor is 60mm thick across and under the tank. The tank is lifted by powdered caelium tubes embedded in the middle of the chassis along structural members, and the propulsion has two grain aligned c-steel powered rods with null steel caps on the interior. There is a pair for each side of the tank. A fluid level gauge/accelerometer can be used to determine the current motion of the tank, and is used to enable the tank to come to a stable stop for optimal shooting.
