Description

While the Hachiman Fire Support Tank receives little respect from warriors, its effectiveness ensures that the Clans continue to use it. It is unique in that it uses a compartmentalized crew area. While this increases the survival rate of its crew, they also suffer from decreased communication.

Armament

The fire support vehicle's main armament is its twin, turret-mounted Type XX "Great Bow" LRM-20s that are used to devastate opponents from long range. Should an enemy manage to close with a Hachiman, its crew can unleash its pair of Series 2d ER Medium Lasers and the front-mounted Pattern J6 Streak SRM-4.
