Hoplite Grav Tank (Military Aircraft)

The Hoplite emphasizes protection and small size in favor of endurance. The main armament is unusual--2 fusion-Z guns are carried coaxially in the turret, for an increase in the total rate of fire. The pulse lasers are mounted in sponsons on either side of the hull, and are intended for short range antipersonnel use.
