==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''Hachiman Fire Support Tank''' gets little respect, but its effectiveness ensures that the [[Clans]] continue to use it. Both stem from the fact that it uses a compartmentalized crew area. While this increases the survival rate of its crew, they also suffer from decreased communication. The Hachiman, like all [[combat vehicle]]s, is a second-line piece of technology. That does not stop many Clans from employing it offensively, however, as it has a decent top speed for a missile carrier at 65 km/h. Clans that are more vehicle-heavy, such as [[Clan Hell's Horses]] and [[Clan Blood Spirit]], sometimes have Hachimans in front-line units. While it does not often come under heavy fire, the Hachiman does have a respectable seven tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor.<ref name=TRO3060-56-57>''Technical Readout: 3060'', pp. 56–57: "Hachiman Combat Vehicle Profile"</ref>

In the aftermath of the Jihad the Hachiman had become spread across the Inner Sphere and was employed by several of the major factions as well as mercenaries.<ref name=MUL/>

==Armament==
 
+
The fire support vehicle's main armament is its twin, turret-mounted Type XX "Great Bow" [[LRM-20]]s that are used to devastate opponents from long range. Each of these is slaved to an [[Artemis IV Fire Control System]], making the missiles more accurate. Four tons of ammunition is usually sufficient for Trials, but a Hachiman crew could quickly find itself without ammo in a more protracted engagement. Should an enemy manage to close with a Hachiman, its crew can unleash its pair of Series 2d [[ER Medium Laser]]s and the front-mounted Pattern J6 [[Streak SRM-4]].

* '''AAA''' - This [[Jihad]] era variant, was designed for Anti-Aircraft operations. The variant exchanges all its weapons save the ER Medium Lasers for pair of [[HAG-20|Class 20 Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifles]]. Twenty four rounds of ammunition split between the two guns.
