General
Initially developed as a private venture by the SP Aerospace Company, the Fennek is a 4x4 light armored reconnaissance vehicle that entered Dutch and German service in 2003. Available in a number of specialized versions, in Steel Beasts Professional the basic Dutch reconnaissance variant is modeled. Armed with a .50 cal M2 Browning heavy machine gun and optimized for scouting, this version possesses excellent on and off-road mobility and is very quiet in operation.
Although not fully modeled, the Fennek's primary intelligence gathering tool is a retractable mast-mounted sensor pod equipped with day/thermal optics and a laser rangefinder developed by Rheinmetall Defense Electronics. This coupled with extensive communications equipment, a GPS enabled land navigation system, and an integrated C3I network, allows the relay of information in real time.
Note: In the simulation, the Fennek will deploy its mast whenever the vehicle stops, and, as the sensor pod is non-functional, the Fennek will position itself so that the AI “crew” will have adequate fields of observation. Against AI opponents, this has no repercussions, since the AI will identify the vehicle regardless of overall exposure, but against human players, users must be mindful to place the Fennek in positions that avoid skylining the unit.
