Its top speed of 86 km/h is fast for a fire support [[combat vehicle]], so it is often paired with armored personnel carriers to support [[infantry]]. Four and a half tons of [[Ferro-fibrous]] armor protect the vehicle and its crew; this somewhat meager amount encourages Ares crews to stay out of range of most return fire. The Ares also includes [[CASE]], allowing its crew to survive an internal explosion. This tank is most popular with [[Clan Coyote]] and [[Clan Wolf]], though it is present in some numbers in most [[Clans]].<ref name=TRO3060/> ==Weapons and Equipment== Primarily a stand-off fighter, the Ares carries a [[Series 7Ja]] [[ER Large Laser]] in its turret. Mounted in the front are [[Type X "Short Bow"]] [[LRM-10]] and [[Type XV "Crossbow"]] [[LRM-15]] launchers, each of which include an [[Artemis IV Fire Control System]]. In addition, the missiles can be fired indirectly with the help of a spotter; though somewhat un-Clanlike, indirect fire can preserve the safety of an Ares and its crew. On the other hand, the Clantech missiles have no problem arming quickly, making them just as potent up close, unlike their [[Inner Sphere]] counterparts; this makes the Ares that much deadlier at short range. However, the limited ammunition supply forces gunners to rely primarily on the laser, using the missiles sparingly.<ref name=TRO3060/> ==Variants== *;Plasma : This is a [[Jihad]] era variant of the Ares which sees a slight revision of its weaponry.
