Description
Another spare time redraw of previous efforts. This time of the 3060 era Hachiman fire support tank. Now, I didn't mind the OG Hachi too much, I know that the launchers looked wrong but there was a thought process behind that. The concept being that the launchers were modeled after the OG Atlas' hip mounted LRM, which only had 5 tubes but performed as a larger launcher via a quick loading system and sequential firing. Like in MWO when you could put an LRM 20 into a slot that wasn't modeled to hold that many tube facings, so you'd get a smaller tube set that fired longer streams of missiles at the target. The original was designed with that in mind, both launchers essentially sending long streams towards their targets. Forcing AMS system into more constant operation and (in idea only) burning more ammo for those systems.

But....it still did look kinda trashy....

So, a more cohesively armored front wedge section. The tank's high point is moved forward, giving some tread footprint towards the back. So it doesn't look like it'd fall on its butt going up a hill quite so much.

Some of the other 3060 clan vehicles are also in my to-do list, and their sketches are far more radically different
