2-11 TARGETING OF CURVE TRAJECTORY
WEAPONS ON WAR MAP
You should lock-on your target beforehand when using a weapon
that uses a curved firing trajectory. When you choose a curved
firing trajectory weapon, the target, firing direction, and where
the weapon will land will be displayed in a white line on the War
Map. You can use this information to attempt to hit the enemy
even when you are not locked on.
2-12 SHORT FUSE
In ammo for the Ak19-77 non-recoil cannon and in short-range
grenades, a short fuse has been set (a contact fuse would typically
be used for normal artillery). Short fuses use magnetism to find
their targets and then explode once they are within a set
distance. Thanks to this, you do not have to hit the target directly
to damage it. In a battle of quick, mobile VTs, these short fuses
can play a great support role in damaging the opponent.
2-13 CHAFF DEFENCE
To defend against radar guided missiles, the VT has been
equipped with a chaff dispensing unit. The chaff explodes into 4
different directions after the VT has been fired upon by a missile.
Aluminium shards explode into the air and the guided missile
locks onto the chaff, making the missile miss its target.
If you perform a side-step after you release the chaff, you can
dodge the missile more effectively.

3-1 ADDITIONS FOR 2ND GENERATION COOS
Currently the COOS that powers all the VT’s movements has
switched over to the 2nd generation and has increased the
functionality of the VT’s abilities. Beside an increase in processor
power, the COOS has new anti-VT guidance weapons loaded, and
a usable Target Estimating Firing System (FSS). These new
additions give the VT even more destructive power. Below is a
listing of many of the 2nd generation COOS’s functions.
3-2 FSS (Target Estimating Firing System)
FUNCTION
The FSS analyses the target VT’s movement pattern, the distance
of bullet flight and amount of time the round will be in the air. It
then automatically moves the target finder onto the enemy’s next
probable location. The FSS targeting mode and regular "straight
targeting" can be switched by pressing the
FSS button . Check
section 5-4 for more information about the FSS.
3-3 OVERDRIVE FUNCTION
This function is used to give the VT a speed increase for a limited
time. It turns off the "speed limiter" that protects various joints
from wear and tear. For more information of the overdrive
function, check section 4-6.
3-4 STEALTH FUNCTION
A stealth function included in the VT allows it to avoid being
caught on radar. This is accomplished using radar absorbent
paint, improving gas releasing ducts, and making the main hull
more aerodynamic.
3-5 GUIDED WEAPONS
One of the major new characteristics of the 2nd generation COOS
is the increased use of guided weapons. New anti-VT guided
missiles have been added to the already established Laser Active
Guidance System. This system analyses VT movement patterns
and predicts the enemy’s next location using the FSS in real-time,
increasing hit accuracy. It is expected that the new system will be
highly effective in anti-VT battles.
4-1 STARTUP SEQUENCE
When you first enter a VT before moving it into battle, the VT
battery, its fuel tank and weapons are at maximum capacity. The
VT startup sequence is listed below.
1. Close the Cockpit Hatch
Press the Cockpit Hatch button on the right side. Be sure to
check whether the cockpit hatch is closed or open.
2. Press the Ignition Button
Press the Ignition button below the Cockpit Hatch button .
The engine will start and power will flow into the cockpit
from the generator. The VT’s OS comes online and a simple
check of the functions is automatically displayed on the
screen before the Startup Function screen.
3. Startup Functions
After the functions check is displayed, you must power up
each of the following functions while checking to see if they
are operational. Flip them up one by one using your
forefinger to power them up.
• Oxygen Supply System (OSS) – Supplies the inner cockpit
with stable, breathable oxygen.
• Filter Control System (FCS) – Toggle switch that powers
the hot gas removal system. Removes hot gas and stabilises
the engine.
• VT-Location Measurement (VT-LM) – Unit Locator
Estimation System. A function used to automatically display
your VT on the War Map.
• Buffer Material (BM) – A system that exudes a protective
material around the cockpit to protect it from attacks. It
coats the cockpit and main chest area of the VT with a hard
gel for protection.
• Fuel Flow Rate (FFR) – A system that regulates fuel flow.
It controls fuel flow and disperses the correct amount of
fuel based on the current engine condition.
4. Press the Start Button
Once you complete the initial startup sequence, an image of
the exterior surroundings is displayed. Then energy is
supplied to various VT joints via an actuator. After the
various systems have crossed over the stabile line, press the
Start button . After you have completed the various
functions, your VT should lock into start mode and you can
begin controlling it.
4-2 WHEN STALLING THE VT DURING STARTUP
Pressing the Start button when all of the systems have NOT
crossed over the stability line will cause various joint parts to
cease from locking, cancel the startup sequence, and stall the VT.
This is to protect the VT from being damaged through pushing the
VT over its limit. If you stall the VT during startup, relax and wait
for the various system gauges to re-power. Then you can re-
attempt to start up the machine by pressing the
Start button
again.
