Courchelle SS
(SuiMobile Series)
Commisioned
for AVA combat the very same day AIM prices
dropped below 3,000 dollars, the so called "SuiMobile", penned by Toxy,
is a hardcore dueling machine and nothing else. Lacking subtlety from
it's poor handling, and weaponload displayed for all to see, it's strength
is out and out brute force. You don't steer this vehicle, you do things
like "full rudder to starboard side" and, "drop anchor". All Courchelle
SS models the following standard equipment; Base brakes and 6 cylinder
engine, rear mortar, and an oil slick defense system. Prices on the vehicle
range from 10,000 to 20,000 dollars. Don't let the apparent simplicity
of this vehicle and it's weapons fool you. To truly master the SuiMobile,
a long hard path of e-brake training, and speed conservation is nessecary.
A 6 cylinder engine in a car weighing in at over 2 tons will not accelerate
well under any circumstances. When driiving this, you must keep up your
speed! Use the brakes and e-brake to make quick turns, but too much and
you bleed all speed off.. But with practice, this is a giant slayer. Royales,
beware! On the AVA ladder, a significant amount of my successful battles
to take and hold the #1 spot were fought using this beast.
SS
RS: Equipped with 2 front aims, a rear High Explosive Mortar, and
heavy armor, this vehicle barely fits into division 15 specs. When it
was created, the original chassis was a Dover Lightning, but with inflation
came the scaling back to the Courcheval body for nearly all the SuiMobile
line. Curb feelers are an optional extra when the car is purchased from
select Courcheval dealers. An oil slick keeps enemies from the tail, should
they dare brave the rear mortar. For all it's apparent formadibility,
the RS-Z SuiMobile has one major flaw, insufficient ammo storage
to destroy highly evasive foes. Having personally fought against my own
design whilst in use by others, using an Nikki XXX model, I have been
able to drain the enemy of all stores. Their only option is to then foolishly
attempt .45 shots. This design sees widespread use under liscensed variant
names such as "nein-iron", "Bozzer beast", and "Hub machine", among others.
So remember the counter attacks, bleed them of ammo, and out maneuver
them.
SS
RS-Z: Designed to effectively combat a paticular AVA duelist on more
than one occasion, this RS conversion model replaces the conventional
armament of dual aims and instead downgrades one launcher to dumbfire
rockets. The advantage? A hefty WP mortar in rear the quarter. Especially
effective against slow or non moving targets armed with heavy frag.
SS-1: A devestating
divison 10 design developed for close in fighting on small maps and rough
terrain, the base RS model is equipped with twin .30 caliber or a single
7.62 MG, to complement it's rear High Explosive Mortar and oil dropper.
Although cumbersome to pilot and with wickedly slow acceleration, all
is not lost. Huge armor and damaging ram attacks are advantages indeed
against your typical 2,000 lb. division 10 opponent. Beware, the 14" rims
can barely support this vehicle. But most small cars have barely enough
firepower to kill it.
SS Charger:
Lifting the component design from the original Dover Lightning chassis
in an effort to cut spending, this deadly and expensive model is worth
every bit of the 20,000 dollar price tag. In keeping with the RS tradition,
this model keeps the familiar Dual AIM, rear mortar setup, though a larger,
more potent WP resides where the upstart HE mortar once guarded. To compensate
for the additional weight gain, the engine has been equipped with the
popular INT in house Talidar Supercharger connversion. Accessories are
also added. Among them, the Heated Seats and Cup Holder options. Rim size
stays a conservative 15", though purists have been known to swap out accessories
to accomodate larger rim size..
SS Munster:
Definitely the strangest design option of all, this 15,000 class ride
uses custom 3" Sway bars front and rear to achieve a high degree of flexibility.
Waiting in the rear is a threatening WP launcher, while the front has
been re-equipped with dual .50 caliber forward firing machine guns. A
curious design that never quite caught on, possibly because of the Courchelle's
inherent slugishness.
