Description
The Tokugawa Heavy Tank is a wheeled heavy tank designed in the Draconis Combine.
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.
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 first appeared 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 Cat's Elemental Battle Armor units.[2]
The vehicle saw extensive use during Operation Bulldog in 3059, where it safeguarded Combine worlds from reprisals from the 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 Ravens incursions from Outworlds Alliance. The tank proved to have some difficulties in its ability to deal with fast-moving Aerospace Fighters.[3]
Armament
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 a Artemis IV FCS-enhanced Ayukawa “Slapper” six-tubed SRM Launcher, with two tons of ammunition. Two Diverse Optics Type 20p Medium Pulse Lasers, mounted on front of the vehicle, protect the vehicle's rear arc.
Variants
- TKG-150 - The downgraded model produced during the technical decline of the Succession Wars era, while the armor was left intact the expensive and increasingly rare fusion engine was swapped for a more primitive I.C.E. model of the same rating. No longer able to produce the design's advanced weaponry, the Artermis system was dropped from the SRM launcher, a standard Autocannon/10 replaced the LB-X model and single Machine Gun was mounted in place of the lasers. A single ton of machine gun munitions was carried, while both missile launcher and autocannon now carried one ton less of ammo each. BV (2.0) = 731 [4]
- TKG-151 - A long range sniper variant of the primitive TKG-150, the TKG-151 replaced the AC/10 with a pair of Autocannon/2s supplied with two tons of ammo. BV (2.0) = 654 [5]
- C3 Slave Variant - Simple upgraded version of the original design, which drops a ton of autocannon ammunition to make way for a C3 Slave Computer. BV (1.0) = 565, BV (2.0) = 891 [6]
- Streak Variant - This post-Clan Invasion variant exchanged the SRM-6 and the Artemis IV FCS for a advanced Streak SRM 6 launcher mounted alongside a Small Pulse Laser in the turret. The autocannon and missile launcher ammunition stores was both reduced by a ton to make way for the heavier equipment. BV (1.0) = 603, BV (2.0) = 926 [7]
- MRM Variant - Developed as field refit, the LB-X 10 was replaced with a Thirty-tube Medium Range Missile Launcher with three tons of ammunition. Also added is a TAG designator for artillery support. BV (1.0) = 615, BV (2.0) = 941 [8]
- SD2 - Trades the standard weaponry for a turreted Ultra AC/10 with three tons of ammunition, two Streak SRM-4s, and a front-mounted Flamer. An anti-missile system and Ferro-Fibrous Armor add additional protection. BV (2.0) = 717[9]
