This is a simple fission powered light tank, capable of limited amphibious operations. The main gun feeds from two magazines, most often loaded with HEAT and HE. The Slammer missiles must be hand loaded by the commander. For each missile not carried, three additional conventional rounds may be carried, but they also must be handloaded (this can be done without breaking the NBC seal). The earlier A1 model lacked the basic stealth and had a buggy transmission (treat as HT 9).

Design Notes
Frame is heavy for 375 cf body, 100 cf turret, and 225 cf tracks. The
Copperhead has heavy compartmentalization, is sealed, has basic emission
cloaking, basic stealth, basic sound baffling and instant cameleon. Armor
is advanced laminate for body and turret and advanced metal for tracks.
