Types of H.I.S.S. II Tanks

Mark-II Version-1 Type-A: As Cobra gained more resonances, they could afford to field better battle platforms. This is based on the Mark-0 frame. It larger and slower then the Mark-I, but with better armaments, thicker armor, and more features. It has a passenger seat for a RTO Specialist, advanced electronic systems and an infantry bay for 7 men or cargo (based on the space used to hold the attack pods, in the Mk-0). The MkII-1a mounts two fixed laser cannons, turret-mounted triple-barreled laser cannons and two side-mounted missiles. The disadvantage with this model, is how the sophisticated weapons and electronic systems are harder to service and consumes a lot of power. The hull is distinguishable from the Type-B, in that the hull is painted teal (otherwise, the differences are unstated).

Mark-II Version-1 Type-B: This is like the v1a, but has a blue hull. (the differences between types are unstated)

Mark-II Version-2 Type-A: This an upgrade to the v1. The power-hungry laser cannons and missiles are replaced by a turret-mounted anti-tank machine gun (with shield), sonic-projection rifle and a missile pod for seven smaller missiles. The hull is thicker, with a "pythonized" coating to help evade or distort electronic sensors.

Mark-II Version-2 Type-B: This is v2a, but with a missile-launchers in place of the anti-tank machine gun.
