Description

Arun and I have been working very hard at getting the design and drawings of the HQC Land battleship. Actually I supplied the basic design sketch and then made a huge number of nit picky comments and suggestions which Arun was kind enough not to kill me over and generous enough to continue working with me (although I don't deserve to work with such talent!) Arun took my basic design and did a 3D rendering after adding some details.

They were ordered by the czar for use in the steppes of the empire. He wanted to foreign source them to keep there details away from the zucks. When the hive war broke out the US government was desperate for anything that could be used, so it confiscated the four of these being built.

The new names for them will be for presidents who had been generals
Washington
Tyler
Jackson
Grant

The command center was a Russian requirement but was not used by the us army. That space would be re-purposed for something else.

Bottom turrets (Quad MGs) are retractable. The five inch siege rifles can be replaced with seven inch siege howitzers or twin three in dual purpose weapons. The mass is nearly identical for these swaps.
