Overview
The A model Malevolent uses the same turret as the A2 Malice, with heatsinks filling the space used for the infantry bays in other variants.
The B model follows suit, a direct fire flanking assualt tank armed with a Magna Hellstar and Defiance B3S.
In lieu of the close assualt autocannon of the Malice C1, the C model Mal is the 'battle taxi', laying down suppressive fire with it's Holly LRM-15 rack as it clears a zone for it's infantry, with a B3M and twin Trolland and Trolland Eviscerator machine guns for close in support, with an additional Eviscerator in a bow mount.
An AFFS export model D variant has been showcased, but is not currently under order, with a Autocannon 10 and SRM-6 turrent mounted.
Capabilities
Complementing the Malice AFV, the Malevolent serves as the flanker and screener to the Malice’s main line role. Sharing the same turret and targeting systems, turrets from Malice and Malevolent units can be swapped with identical armor and weight, as well as power and communications links.
Deployment
The Malevolent is used as a flanker and high speed IFV, delivering specialist infantry and slashing attacks to enemy formations. The C models are often used as armored ambulances, on battlefields where a Red Cross is not observed.
