CLASSIFICATION Ferret NAME Ferret Mk 2 Recon Hovercraft The Ferret Mk 2 is the old Airborne Battle tank. It is a first generation Hovertank and suffers from many shortcomings. Crews often describe it as "The most comfortable coffin I've ever ridden in." The original idea for the Ferret came from a prototype of a civilian pleasure vehicle. To this model they added light armor and two 40 mm cannons. Its saving grace is its amazing speed, which in the hands of an experienced crew can often keep the Ferret from becoming a mass of smoking metal.
