Shame Napalm strike is replaced, but this moving bunker is cool!

I always felt like the Napalm Strike was temporary, for how unoriginal it was. In the very early version of the Bureau of Propaganda, I had the idea to give a Battle Fortress-like vehicle for the Soviet, but I lacked a good and unique concept for it. The Allied will receive something more fitting for their loss of the regular Battlefortress.

Impressive; a building on wheels.

So it's a Scavenger that can carry troops.

Description

As Soviet commanders faced more and more fortified position during the Scramble for Africa conflict, it became apparent that the Red Army needed a heavy unit to break enemy lines of defense. The Metal Fang Linebreaker, also known as the Scrap Master, was first designed as a heavy mining equipment, but was quickly converted to fill this role. The large grinders at the front convert vehicles into scraps, which are then collected and sold as low quality metal to poorer Soviet aligned countries. The Metal Fang is large enough to have 5 passengers that can use the vehicle as a moving bunker.

The unit can crush smaller vehicles, convert enemy casualties into credits and works as a Battle Fortress. It is now only available to commanders who choose the Bureau of Propaganda as their Tech Building. It effectively means that the Phalanx Fortress is removed from the Allied roster (but will have a more fitting replacement) and that this new unit override the Napalm Strike support power.
