==Description==
Created by [[Clan Nova Cat]] after the success of the [[SM1]], the '''Joust BE701''' was designed to be a well-rounded, versatile but specialized medium tank, mixing long-range and anti-personnel weaponry.<ref name=DADossiers21>''MechWarrior: Dark Age - Dossiers and Pilot Cards'', p. 21: "Etan Nova Cat"</ref><ref name=DADossiers166>''MechWarrior: Dark Age - Dossiers and Pilot Cards'', p. 166: "Jamal Wolf"</ref>

Created by [[Clan Nova Cat]] after the success of the [[Shoden]], the '''Joust''' was designed to be a well rounded medium tank.  With a wide mix of weapons, the Joust is a versatile design, capable of handling a multitude of roles and missions. With eight tons of [[Ferro-Fibrous]] armor, the Joust carries close to twice the armor of the similar [[Ares]] tank.  
  
Early versions of the Joust had problems with their fire control programs, occasionally causing the ER Large Laser to fire unexpectedly.<ref name=DADossiers21/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
+
==Armament==
The Joust is well armed for its size, with a [[Series 7N]] [[ER Large Laser]], a [[Type X "Short Bow"]] [[LRM-10]], and eight [[Series 2c]] [[Light Machine Gun]]s in its turret. Additionally, the Joust has eight tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor, double that of the similar [[Ares (Combat Vehicle)|Ares]] tank, enhancing the Joust's survivability. {{cn}}

==Variants==
 
*;Joust BE700 : The BE701 was based on an earlier vehicle, the '''Joust BE700''' which featured a different loadout. This tank was protected by 9.5 tons of ferro-fibrous armor and used a Clan-made [[XL engine]]. Armament was slightly different, with an [[ATM 9]] launcher taking the place of the LRM-10 seen in exported vehicles. The BE700 also carried a [[Light Active Probe]] to find hidden forces. The ER Large Laser remained the same, but the BE700 only carried four Light Machine Guns.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 136</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,307<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 137</ref>
 
 
 
==Notes==
 
The Joust was originally created for WizKids's MWDA game line. The vehicle's name was originally produced as BE701 Joust.  However, line developers with Catalyst Game Labs who produced their own rendition of the vehicle, have redone the name placing its model number in the middle of its name, making it the Joust BE701 Medium Tank. It was done to conform with naming conventions established for the current ''BattleTech'' line.
