Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Type 10 Hitomaru MBT

"Hitomaru armor ready!"

-HItomaru leaving the Instant Garage

The Type 10 Hitomaru is the primary main battle tank of the Katsuragi Protectorate. Planned to be voiced by Christian Banas.

Overview
The Hitomaru is the bastion of the Katsuragi SDF's Armored Forces, and excels in direct engagements with any armor they dealt. Though the damage output of their anti-tank rounds is nothing special compared to the other MBTs, their heavy armour makes them indispensable nonetheless. Furthermore, They also have been outfitted with a small mortar launcher - used for napalm munitions, which bathe enemy infantry formations in excruciatingly hot, flaming petroleum jelly en masse. Though shockingly merciless, this weapon achieves its desired effect by instilling fear in those who stand in the way of Katsuragi's Armored Company.

History
In the early 2000s V.C., the Katsuragi Self-Defense Force decided to update its tank force to better prepare in their next engagement, mainly against the T-14 Armata "Ogre". One of the most important requirements for the new tank is the capability of having a C4I (Command, Control, Communication, Computing and Intelligence) system. After assessing the upgrade potential of current Type 74 and Type 90 main battle tanks, the Ministry of Defense concluded that there was not enough internal space for a C4I system upgrade on existing tanks. Therefore, the development of a new main battle tank capable of various future battle missions was necessary.

Trivia

 * The Type 10 is based off the real-world Japanese tank of the same name. In Gaiaterra, it takes the role of the Abrams from Red Resurrection.
