Hovercraft The hovercraft were faster over the swamp than the Mechs and broke into visual range first. There were four of the lightly armored vehicles, and they sped through the forested marshland and began opening up on the various mechs with Medium lasers, each craft had two of the multipurpose weapons. visible also were a Light SRM rack and Light Machine Guns. The first two craft fired on Tiger 5, the Medium lasers carving trails of orange hot metal across the chest and right leg of the mech. The third fired on Tiger Two, but at the extended range, the emerald beams went wide. The fourth sprayed laser fire over the sensor canopy of Tiger One.
