«

The Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck is an 8x8 diesel-powered off-road truck. It servers as a standard heavy transport vehicle for BLUFOR armies. There are several versions covering the basic transport functions: cargo, refuel, medical, repair, and ammo resupply. Field Manual

Design

The HEMTT is an eight-wheel drive tactical truck that can be used to transport/heal soldiers, and repair, refuel and rearm vehicles.

Features
Aside from the standalone trailer-less tractor unit variant, there are seven more configurations that the HEMTT can be outfitted into. These include cargo, fuel tanker, and medical transport variants.

Covered variant of the HEMTT, with a NATO squad in-transit.

Mobility
The HEMTT performs decently on and off-road but handles rather poorly at high speeds; not to mention the risk of rollovers when turning on sharp corners as it requires a large amount of space to turn itself even at slow speeds.

Drawbacks
As is to be expected from a vehicle designed purely to operate in a support role, it completely lacks any means to defend itself.

Furthermore, although the cab can resist a limited amount of small arms fire, it is still minimally armoured and should not be seen at the front line except when rearming or refuelling friendly forces.

Crew Capacity
Regardless of the variant, the HEMTT always has at least two seats to fit a driver and a single passenger in the cab of the tractor.

Variants

• HEMTT
• HEMTT Transport
• HEMTT Transport (Covered)
• HEMTT Cargo
• HEMTT Flatbed
• HEMTT Box
• HEMTT Repair
• HEMTT Ammo
• HEMTT Fuel
• HEMTT Medical

Baseline variant.

This is the standalone tractor unit that has no trailer attached to it. Has no other capabilities other than transporting a single passenger and the driver themselves.

Troop transporter.

It has an extended, open-top cargo body fitted behind the cab that can transport up to sixteen passengers. The rear two positions are FFV-enabled.

Troop transporter.

It is identical feature-wise to the regular Transport variant. The sole difference is that the cargo body section is covered with a tarpaulin that can hide troops from view (note that the tarpaulin does not provide ballistic protection).

Vehicle transport variant.

It is visually similar to the uncovered Transport variant but the rear flatbed passenger benches have been removed. Instead, it has Vehicle-in-Vehicle Transportation capability and can load up to three Quadbikes/Karts or one Hunter MRAP.

Like the baseline tractor unit, it can only transport one passenger in the cab.

Identical to Cargo variant but the flatbed's railings have been completely removed, supporting several other larger vehicles which would have been obstructed on the Cargo model.

Its passenger transportation capacity otherwise remains unchanged.

Has a large container box that can store supplies attached to the cargo body trailer behind the cab. Contains the same amount of seats as the baseline variant.

Has a large container box with spare parts, tools, and components that can repair nearby land vehicles and grounded aircraft.

Visually identical to the Box variant and contains the same amount of seats as the baseline variant.

Has a large semi-hexagon shaped, tarpaulin-covered, ammunition supply container fixed to the cargo body trailer behind the cab.

It can re-arm nearby land vehicles and grounded aircraft. Contains the same amount of seats as the baseline variant.

Has a large fuel tanker attached to the flatbed trailer behind the cab. It can refuel nearby land vehicles and grounded aircraft. Contains the same amount of seats as the baseline variant.

Medical support/transport variant. Its benches and litters have enough space for up to fifteen wounded soldiers (not including the cab driver/passenger).

Unlike the regular transport variants, the two rear passenger seats do not have FFV-capability.

Protection

All variants of the HEMTT have base armour values of 200.

No model can be outfitted with Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA) blocks/panels or slat cages.

Body

The vehicle body on all variants can resist up to 200 points of damage. It incurs a 150% damage penalty from high-explosive (HE) type weapons. Should its integrity fail, it will instantly result in a catastrophic loss regardless of variant.

Engine

HEMTT engines can only take 100 points of damage before failure. It has 50% resistance to HE-type weapons. 100% of damage on this component is always transferred onto the HEMTT's main "health" pool.

If damaged: Greatly reduces the engine's power output, the HEMTT can no longer attain its top speed and will have difficulty making simple manoeuvres.
If destroyed: Instantly immobilises the HEMTT.

Fuel tank

The fuel tanks can survive up to 100 points of damage. They take 150% increased damage from HE-type weapons. Like the engine, 100% of incoming damage is shared with the HEMTT's "health" pool.

If damaged: Gradually leak fuel over time.
If destroyed: Causes it to rapidly lose its entire fuel capacity in under a few seconds.

Wheels

All HEMTT variants have eight wheels that can take up to 200 points of damage before bursting. They take 400% increased damage from HE-type weapons. No amount of damage on any of the wheels will be transferred onto the vehicle's "health" pool.

While it's theoretically possible for the HEMTT to continue moving even with half of its wheels missing, the HEMTT's bulky dimensions and weight will make it extremely difficult to drive in a straight line. Depending on whether there are enough tires on both sides of the chassis left, it might not even be possible to make simple turns.

Vehicle-in-Vehicle Transport

Prowler LSVs loaded onto the back of Cargo (background) and Flatbed (foreground) HEMTTs.

The Cargo variant can transport most non-medium/heavy armour ground vehicles on its rear flatbed trailer:

• One Assault Boat
• Four Demining Drones
• Six ED-1 Mini UGVs (either variant)
• One Hatchback (either variant)
• Two Karts
• One MB 4WD (any variant)
• One Prowler (any variant)
• One Qilin (any variant)
• Two Quadbikes
• One SUV
• One Tractor
• Four Utility Drones (either variant)
• One Water Scooter

Due to the railings being removed on its trailer, the Flatbed variant is able to load several other vehicles in addition to the ones available on the regular Cargo model:

• Two AR-2 Darters
• One Hunter (unarmed variant only)
• One Ifrit (unarmed variant only)
• One Offroad (any variant)
• One Strider (any variant)
• One Truck (any variant)
• One UGV Stomper (either variant)
• Two Water Scooters

It should be noted that despite the Flatbed variant being capable of storing two AR-2 Darters, the Cargo variant cannot load a single one (other drones are still accepted, however).

Trivia

• The HEMTT is based on its real-life counterpart of the same name - the Oshkosh "M977" heavy utility truck used by all branches of the U.S. military and several other nations.
  • However, it should be noted that in-game HEMTTs are not precisely modelled after the real vehicles. The in-game HEMTTs actually appear to be an amalgamation of parts from both the "A3" and newer "A4" models.
• Like the Hunter MRAP, Olive textures for Pacific NATO HEMTTs were not available on Apex's release. They only added after the Game Update 1.90 patch.
• Both the Cargo and Flatbed variants were not added until the release of the Contact expansion pack.
