QSW-4 Phalanx — Quad Siege Walker

QSW-4 Phalanx — Quad Siege Walker A walking fortress. Built to breach. Built to endure. The QSW-4 "Phalanx" is a heavily armored quad-legged siege walker developed for frontline fortification breaching operations. Where other mechs maneuver around obstacles, the Phalanx walks through them. Armament Center hardpoint (Slot 5) — Large/Titan class, Ballistic + Rockets, with +20% Reload Speed and +30% Recoil reduction. Fits the Combat Cannon or the Hedgehog rocket system. Shoulder arms (Slots 1-4) — 4x Small/Medium, Ballistic + Rockets, each with +20% Recoil reduction. Nested turret system provides independent tracking per weapon. Modules Armor — 2 slots (Plasteel Plating, Reactive Armor, etc.) Weapon Systems — 2 slots (Loaders, Stabilizers, etc.) Mount — 3 slots (M-LAPS, turrets, APS — your point defense) Chassis — 1 slot Systems — 1 slot Specifications HP: 725 | Armor: 60 Weight: 18 | Speed: Medium-slow Quad-leg walker with 4 independent feet Full 360° base rotation Nested turret architecture (base → torso → arms → micro-mounts) Wall destruction: Yes — radius 1. 2, force 25 +15m Radar range bonus Design Philosophy The Phalanx uses a nested turret system inspired by real siege platforms. The base rotates freely, the torso adds ±25° of fine adjustment, each arm tracks independently at ±40°, and every weapon mount has its own ±30° micro-turret. This gives each weapon its own firing arc while keeping the overall rotation deliberate and weighty. The reinforced chassis (angular damping 5. 0) absorbs recoil from even the heaviest weapons, and the destroyer system (force 25) lets you plow through buildings without getting stuck.
