Description

Artillery variant of the M4 Schuster.

---

While the Coalition keeps the best military equipment to itself, its allies and puppets do receive aid in the form of materiel. Normally, this equipment is either intentionally downgraded or defective and not up to Coalition standards. This practice has increased as the Galactic War dragged on and only the superpowers have maintained the industrial capacity to produce war materiel. The M4 Schuster is one of the most commonly-exported tanks, second only to the old M515 Shiloh. The Coalition exports Schuster hulls as often as it does the downgraded M4A1 variant, so its allies may repurpose them to their needs (and remove responsibility of arming the vehicles from the Coalition). One popular variant is the M434 Multiple Launch Rocket Artillery system. There is no place for rocket artillery in the Coalition's doctrine, preferring harder-hitting but more expensive coilgun systems, but most of the Coalition's puppets cannot afford that luxury. The M434 is an elongated (and lightly armored) Schuster hull with a mounted M34 rocket launch system designed to be mounted on most weapons platforms. The M434 is effective in low-tech conflicts where EMSEL batteries are less common but is typically useless when confronting actual superpower militaries.
