Type-36 Hachimoto



The Type-36 Hachimoto is a heavily assault hover speeder developed and used by the Pan-Asian Coalition in 2145. It features in Battlefield 2142: Northern Strike.==Description== The Hachimoto was first brought into service in 2145, after the defeat of the PAC in Africa. It was intended to largely replace the UAZ-8 Ocelot FAV, which was a 107 year old design- incredibly old. Firepower was favoured over the studiness and capacity of the Ocelot and the Hachimoto had virtually replaced the old FAV by the time of the EU's counterstrike.The Hachimoto uses the same hover technology used in the Type 32 Nekomata, however due to its smaller size it is capable of travelling many times faster. The 'floatation' technology gives the speeder more fluid movement and the ability to quickly navigate the battlefield and flank enemies, but changing directions and steering is sluggish and difficult. The speed comes at a cost: the Hachimoto’s armour can only withstand small arms or machinegun fire, and both pilot and passenger are exposed. Although the driver has limited weaponry, the gunner position is equiped with a powerful, fast-firing 360° rotational grenade launcher and a remotely guided anti-vehicle missile. This allows the speeder to even take on a Battle Walker. ==Specifications== Weaponry Armour Defences Capacity/Seats Propulsion
