The GM Desert continued the Land Combat types difficulties of being slower than a standard GM, without having the heavy Luna Titanium armor of the GM Ground or the reactor necessary to power a beam rifle. To make up for this, it is equipped with heavy reactive armor plates, as well as a long range use Railgun, which can be equipped with a surface-to-air missile battery for taking out incoming enemy bombers. Unlike the Land Combat Type, the GM Desert is also equipped with all of the standard equipment necessary to operate in the hottest and sandiest environments on Earth, although the vulcans had to be removed to find room for sand filters in the head. While the armament of the Land Combat GM remained somewhat superior in other environments, the GM Desert was certainly superior in arid terrain. |
