The '''Tokugawa Heavy Tank''' is a wheeled heavy tank designed in the [[Draconis Combine]].
  
 
==Vehicle History==
 
==Vehicle History==
The tank was originally designed by the DCMS Procurement Division during the [[First Succession War]]. The Tokugawa was mass produced in various factories throughout the [[Draconis Combine]]. However, the devastation of the Succession Wars destroyed most of the tanks and its manufacturers. Only a limited production line was continued at the Buda Imperial Vehicles on [[Luthien]].

However, the devastation of the Succession Wars destroyed most of the tanks and its manufacturers. Only a limited production line was continued at the Buda Imperial Vehicles on [[Luthien]].
  
After the [[War of 3039]], ''[[Gunji-no-Kanrei]]'' [[Theodore Kurita]] contacted the Buda Enterprises on [[Proserpina]] to produce the tank in larger numbers. Buda Enterprises' first production run of the Tokugawa took the field in [[3046]]. The first new "modern" version of the Tokugawa first appeared in [[3053]], where it was deployed along the Clan frontier, as well as on Luthien itself.

The "new" Tokugawa first saw action with the [[1st Amphigean Light Assault Group]] on [[Kilmarnock]] against a [[Clan Nova Cat]] raid.  The Tokugawas were used to contain the Nova Cats' [[Elemental (Battle Armor)|Elemental Battle Armor units]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3058'', p. 58:</ref>

The vehicle saw extensive use during [[Operation Bulldog]] in [[3059]], where it safeguarded Combine worlds from reprisals from the [[Clan Smoke Jaguar|Clan Smoke Jaguars]]. It was also used in offensive actions against Jaguar units on [[Outer Volta]], and later saw action during the [[FedCom Civil War]], as well as during the [[Jihad]] era, in [[Clan Snow Raven|Clan Snow Raven's]] incursions from the [[Outworlds Alliance]]. The tank proved to have some difficulties in its ability to deal with fast-moving [[aerospace fighter]]s.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade'', p. 102</ref>

==Weapons and Equipment==
 
==Weapons and Equipment==
The Tokugawa's primary weapon is its [[Imperator Code Red]] LB-X 10 Autocannon, mounted in its turret. The gun has three tons of ammunition, allowing crews to employ a mixture of different ammunition types.  Also mounted in the turret is an [[Artemis IV FCS]]-enhanced [[Ayukawa “Slapper”]] six-tubed SRM Launcher, with two tons of ammunition. Two [[Diverse Optics Type 20P]] Medium Pulse Lasers protect the vehicle's forward arc.

*; TKG-150 : The more primitive standard model produced during the technical decline of the [[Succession Wars era]], this model had the same armor as the original.  However, instead of an expensive and increasingly rare [[fusion engine]] this model of the Tokugawa used a more readily available [[internal combustion engine]] of the same rating. Armed with a standard [[Autocannon/10]] instead of the later LB-X model and a stock SRM-6 launcher, a single [[Machine Gun]] was mounted in place of the upgraded model's lasers. A single ton of machine gun ammunition was carried, while both missile launcher and autocannon had one ton less of ammo each.

*; Yumi : This [[Experimental Technology|Experimental]] prototype testbed began its development by [[Buda Imperial Vehicles]] on Luthien in [[3067]]. The one-off vehicle was almost lost when Luthien fell into chaos with the dawn of the [[Jihad]], and the supervising Technician, [[Roald Vu]], was killed. During the recovery process in mid-3070s, the prototype was rediscovered.  The [[DCMS]] decided to use this vehicle as testbed for new type of LRM launcher.  The vehicle is fitted with a turreted mounted [[ELRM-15|15-tubed Extended Long Range Missile Launcher]], with 2 tons of ammo. Co-axed with the launcher is a [[Hyper-Velocity AC/10|Class 10 Hyper-Velocity Autocannon]] with two tons of ammunition.  To make room for these weapons, the vehicle's engine was changed out for a 280-rated [[XXL fusion engine]]. The new engine propelled the vehicle up to 80 km/h. To protect the fragile engine, the hull was given 8.5 tons worth of Clan ferro-fibrous armor.  A C3 slave computer is fitted to allow lancemates to coordinate fire against enemy forces.
