User:-AR-/M232 Beetle Medium Assault Tank

M808B Main Battle Tank

The M232 Beetle is a medium assault tank in use by the UNSC. It was manufactured by Acumen Technologies, a subsidiary of Acumen Science Laboratories, and is armed with a 76mm Velocity Gun, two base mounted M44 Flamethrowers, and, similar to the Scorpion, has a 12.7x99mm Heavy Machine Gun mounted on its cannon. While the main cannon and machine gun must be operated manually, the two M44 Flamethrowers operate via computer-guided targeting systems, allowing them two quickly and automatically lock onto enemy targets in range (determined by neural interface "friend-or-foe" designators) and fire without the need of a second gunner. High-Explosive rounds are primarily used for the 76mm gun, while armor-piercing rounds are more commonly used for the Machine Gun. The Flamethrowers run on tanks of fuel separate from the tank's fuel supply.
