User:Albert12/Type-11 Towing Vehicle

The Type-11 towing vehicle is a modified Wrath tank, used by the covenant for various duties, including towing other vehicles, and rescuing vehicles that have become damaged or unable to extricate themselves from their current position.

Modifications
These vehicles are built on the same platform as the Wrath tanks, however, several major modifications have been made. To begin with, the Plasma Mortar has been removed, and the area filled with a much larger power core. In addition, two Low-Frequency Gravity Beams (used for retrieving damaged vehicles) have been added inside the front wings, and a Power Transfer Beam Emitter has been added to the rear of the vehicle (used for supplying power to vehicles without their own internal power source).

One other notable difference is that a number of heavy metal rings, used for securing towing cables, have been added to the front and rear of the vehicle.

Usage
These vehicles were used throughout the Human-Covenant War, mostly as repair vehicles, but a few saw combat service. This was particularly notable in the Battle of Lyra III, where the Covenant used these vehicles to knock down the planet's unstable hillsides on troops, a tactic that worked to great effect.

In other places, however, these vehicles proved much less effective. However, since they closely resembled normal Wraths, they were included in some Wrath formations to confuse enemy observers about their numbers.

UNSC Comments
“''Whoever said these things were no threat didn't see the avalanche that wiped out Alpha Company. I guess that cliff-side behind them was unstable, cause one of those things just locked a beam on it and BLAM... no more Alpha, no more Scorpion, no more fire support''.” UNSC Marine
