The MA-115HT Union Realdo Hover Tank was an artillery support unit that combined VMS-15 Union Realdo parts with a tank body. The Hover Tank’s main weapon was a linear cannon mounted over the head. The Realdo’s arms were replaced with a machine gun and missile launcher. In 2308, Hover Tanks participated in a joint attack carried out by the three superpowers against Celestial Being in the Taklimakan Desert. In 2314, the Earth Sphere Federation used a modified version as a temporary turret strapped to the hull of a Baikal class space cruiser. This version had two linear cannons and replaced the arm-mounted weapons with 60mm linear guns.
