Description[]
The UV-5c "Odyssey" is a colonial Light Utility Vehicle with a commander seat. It automatically gathers and transmit Map Intelligence of its surroundings within a 60m radius.
Crew[]
It has two seats: 1 driver and 1 commander. The player in the commander seat can use their secondary slot (Secondary Weapons, Binoculars) and can toggle the hatch by pressing E to hide, just like a tank commander.
Inventory[]
It has 7 inventory slots which accepts any item and where small caliber ammo stacks.
Armament[]
The vehicle has no armament except whatever secondary weapon the commander is wielding, making the vehicle relatively vulnerable.
Health & Armor[]
The Odyssey has slightly more health than a truck but it is still unarmored. It is its low disable point (40%) that allows it to soak a bit of small arms and shrapnel but far less than even an Armored Car. Heavy calibers, anti-tank Launchers and heavy explosives are a death sentence.
Like other LUVs, repairing the vehicle costs a lot of Basic Materials (120 to repair 100%), more than for a Truck or Armored Car.
Engine & Size[]
LUVs being the fastest off-road vehicle class, the Odyssey is fast on road and can outrun off-road pretty much any other vehicle type (except a boosting Motorcycle). Combined with its low fuel consumption, the vehicle has great autonomy and range of action. It is highly maneuverable and agile.
The LUV can be packaged, forming a small Shippable that can be transported by Crane, Flatbed Truck, Freighter, or Barge. However due to its speed there's little reason to transport it that way.
It doesn't trigger anti-tank mines and can safely cross Field Bridges without damaging them too much. It is too small to cross Trenches. It can run over Sandbags and tier 1 walls but can't run over Barbed Wire Fences.
Tactics[]
With its decent inventory size, the odyssey can be used as a support vehicle for mechanized attacks. The commander seat helps with combat awareness.
