With one driver, one passenger seat in the front, two passenger seats in the rear, and a middle-cupola for a gunner the Vedette can carry and entire fireteam. Besides this, the vehicle has a large rear cargo space that can be accessed either from inside the vehicle or from inside. There are racks for equipment, deployable rails in the bed for a stretcher, and interior cubbies and openable small lockers for equipment and gear. The front passenger's seat has a console with a GPS map, tactical data, and a built-in radio. ===== Systems ===== ==== Power ==== The Vedette is powered by a powerful battery bank that is recharged slowly by either an alternator or by plugging into a charging station when at a base or supply depot. The battery powers the entire vehicle and can run for several days on low use, or the better part of a day with frequent use. ==== Lights ==== The Vedette has a powerful 10,000 Lumen spotlight mounted on the underside of its turret, as well as four smaller spotlights on its roof not including the vehicle's normal low/high beams. ==== Armor ==== The Vedette has very light armor enough to at best shrug off low-caliber small arms at range. It is not meant to take direct fire and is only just more armored than a normal day-to-day vehicle; With thicker ceramic built body, and ballistic glass. ===== Weapons ===== The Vedette has two variants with different weapons. ==== HMG ==== The standard variant of the vehicle has a turret with a 12.7mm automatic heavy machinegun. With good range and a steady fire rate matched with a 100-round belt of caseless ammunition the standard Vedette is a threat to not only infantry but also light vehicles and unawares aircraft. With a 10,000-lumen spotlight under the weapon and pointed wherever the weapon aims it is devestating to be caught in the crosshaires of this weapon. |{{:nation:bts:bamf:vehicles:vedette_base_1.png?400|}}| ==== Wire Guided Launcher ==== The Second variant of the Vedette replaces the HMG with a wire-guided reloadable missile launcher. While not as dangerous to infantry the missile is capable of busting light or medium tanks if not mobility-killing heavier ones at ranges up to 4km. The weapon shares the same 10,000-lumen spotlight as the HMG. |{{:nation:bts:bamf:vehicles:vedette_wg.png?400|}}| ===== OOC ===== * **Player** [[user:char]] created this on 2022/03/27 17:13. ==== Usage ==== This content adheres to Project Multiverse's [[:rules#content_submissions|submission and usage rules.]] * This Vessel can be used by any Babel plots/player/GMs. Or by those in other factions who capture or purchase them.
