Description
The Drummond Loscann 55c is a Warden Light Utility Vehicle variant capable of amphibious movement.
Crew
The Loscann has 4 seats: 1 driver and 3 passengers. The vehicle is open-top making the crew vulnerable to thrown explosives and to small arms fire from the rear and from above. The back seat passengers can use their secondary equipment (Binoculars or Secondary Weapons).
Inventory
It has 7 inventory slots which accepts any item and where small caliber magazines stacks.
Health & Armor
It is the LUV with the lowest health (on par with the UV-05a "Argonaut") and is unarmored. Its low disable point (55%) allows it to soak a tiny 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. A single Anti-Tank Sticky Bomb can disable the vehicle.
Like other LUVs, repairing the vehicle costs a lot of Basic Materials (120 to repair 100%), more than for a truck or Armored Car.
Armament
The vehicle is not equipped with any armament, but crew members can use their secondary weapons while seated in the back.
Engine & Size
LUVs being the fastest off-road vehicle class, the Loscann 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. Unlike other LUVs though, the Loscann can drive on water. Care should be taken however, as when in the water the fuel consumption increases drastically, while the speed also decreases massively. For this reason it is recommended not to take the vehicle into the open sea, and either keep it near the shore or use it to cross rivers. It's small enough to pass under closed drawbridges.
Tactics
With 4 seats, the Loscann can be a good method of ferrying teammates across rivers. Combined with the medium sized inventory, it can also be used for resupplying cut-off positions across rivers or short stretches of sea.
Trivia
- The Loscann is likely inspired by the Ford GPA, or "Sea Jeep" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_GPA
