Armor Piercer

Armor Piercers - are Pan-Asian Republic basic anti-armor infantry units. Able to ambush enemy vehicles, disguising themselves, while becoming immobile and unable to attack.

Background
The conscription procedures allowed the Republic to operate with military units, quantitatively equal to the Soviet ones. Every day thousands of volunteers apply to the army of the Republic, wishing to take revenge on the imperialist states for tens of years of capitalist slavery.

The Armor Piercer carries a powerful, anti-tank rifle equipped with 9-volt powered targeting computers which allow them to hit the weak spots and vital points of enemy armor and even aircraft. Reverse engineered from Allied Javelin systems, the computers are durable enough to withstand the rigors and stresses of combat and can be mass produced to outfit the masses of large caliber rifles required by the Republic. The training is far more intense and costly than that of a simple guardsman due to the recoil and need to understand and operate the device.

Despite anti-tank rifles being considered outdated by current events, it is considered cheaper by the Republic to simply outfit their armies with equipment that the other powers have been dumping on them for cheap. Advances in weapons technology and material sciences have allowed these archaic tools of war to keep up to date with their more modern rivals.
