Armor Description:
The armor of the Stealth Viper is sub-par at best. It covers most of the body from head to the tip of the tail and it's thickest around the central box in the middle of the Stealth Viper's body. The Stealth Viper is thin too and it can't take much of a beating on it's own. It relies mostly on burrowing into sand or swimming in shallow water to avoid damage.
Equipment:
Fangs - Two small, yet sharp, alloy fangs located in the small mouth of the Stealth Viper.
16mm Vulcan Gun - Mounted on the face in a forward locked position.
40mm Heavy Machinegun x2 - Two of them, one mounted on either side of the face in a forward locked position.
40mm Anti-Aircraft Laser Machinegun x2 - Two of them, one on either side of the central box in the middle of the Stealth Viper's body, pointing upwards and capable of enough pivoting to shoot down most air Zoids.
2-Shot Rocket Launcher - Located on the tip of the tail in a rear-facing position are a pair of rockets. They are the same in power as standard missiles. However, they sacrifice heat targeting in favor of higher flight speed.
Surface-to-air 2-Shot Missile Launcher - Located just behind the central box in the middle of the Stealth Viper's long body, they can point forward, upward, or to the rear to be fired on nearly any air target, though they risk the chance of hitting the Stealth Viper itself. They are too fast to be used effectively against ground Zoids.
Steam Vents - All along the Stealth Viper are a series of steam vents that when activated, constantly release several streams of steam to create a large steam cloud around the Stealth Viper.
Infrared - Other than allowing the Stealth Viper to see some stealth Zoids and to see through it's own steam cloud there isn't much to this simple sensor.
