No cruiser currently in existence can match the superiority of the Cerberus’s onboard missile system. With a well-trained pilot jacked in, this fanged horror is capable of unleashing a hail of missiles to send even the most seasoned armour tankers running for cover. The Cerberus was developed by Lai Dai.
Moving away from their traditionally balanced all-round designs, Lai Dai has created a very specialised – and dangerous – missile boat in the Cerberus.
