Manufactured by [[Defiance Industries]] as a wheeled assault tank, the '''DI Schmitt''' was known for its use during the early [[thirty-second century]]. The tank was named after the [[Star League|First Star League]]'s [[Royal Black Watch]] Regiment's last commanding officer, [[Colonel]] [[Hanni Schmitt]].<ref name=DADossiers36>''MechWarrior: Dark Age - Dossiers and Pilot Cards'', p. 36: "Leo Riordan"</ref> The Schmitt was noted for its highly automated TharHes Mars targeting system, giving it remarkable targeting abilities.

The vehicle would continue to show its worth after decades of service, with its performance at the 19th Battle of [[Hesperus II]] in early January [[3145]]. The tanks belonging to the Lyrans' Hesperus Militia forces were able to utilize the tank's deadly & accurate firepower against invading [[Clan Jade Falcon]] forces.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Lyran Commonwealth'', p. 20 DI Schmitt Tank - Background</ref>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The majority of the DI Schmitt's weaponry is mounted in its turret, with the exception of two front-mounted [[Purity L-Series]] [[Flamer|Flamers]].  For long-range combat, it includes a [[TharHes Reacher]] [[LRM-15|Fifteen-tube Long-Range Missile Launcher]] with one ton of ammunition. For intermediate ranges, it mounts a pair of [[Mydron Tornado]] [[rotary AC/5|Class 5 rotary autocannons]] with four tons of ammunition as well as four [[Diverse Optics Type 18]] standard [[medium laser]]s.  For anti-infantry fire support, in addition to its flamers, the Schmitt has pair of [[Scattergun]] [[Machine Guns]] with a half ton of ammunition.

*; Targeting Computer : Introduced at the same time as the Standard Variant, this version of the Schmitt is a minor modification to the vehicle's weaponry.  The forward standard Flamers are swapped out for [[Vehicle Flamer|Vehicle Flamers]] with 20 rounds of fire for the weapon. The benefit of dropping flamers for the vehicle type allows for the installation of a [[Targeting Computer]],which increases the Schmitt's deadliness with chemical, energy, and ballistic weaponry.

* The DI Schmitt Tank was first created by [[WizKids]]' [[MechWarrior: Dark Age|MechWarrior Dark Age Collectible Miniatures]] game as a part of its original lease of the game, the set was later called simply the ''Dark Age'' release. The vehicle was among few which were given then [[Classic BattleTech]] stats for use in the game, appearing in the Record Sheets: MechWarrior Dark Age I. It was later adapted by [[Catalyst Game Labs]] and redefined once the company advanced the franchise's timeline to [[3145]].
