THE CRUCIBLE RULES SYSTEM HANDBOOK
The Sohei Support tank was not considered a
great success in combat. What was more useful
was the Sohei Tank destroyer which replaced the
main gun with a 22cm Discarding Sabot weapon,
bought in from New Ukrainian arms
manufacturers. This - again - was slower than the
laser to fire but had excellent penetration. The
Sohei chassis was also used for a large MLRS unit
which, because of the armour values of the donor
system, was often used in units quite close to the
front line in the Planetary Warfare Detachments
(mixed, all arms units, often referring to
themselves as 'firefighters').
Medium tanks were generally based on a lighter vehicle of very similar general design to the Sohei. This was called
the Shaman. Main weapons were again laser based - a 17cm Medium laser and - again - with a Heavy Support
weapon. The Shaman did not have the punch of the Sohei - the laser was smaller and the missile load was missing -
so the manufacturers (Mitsusaki Industries) began a series of experimental Tank Destroyer variants.
