Inner Sphere "Assault Combat Vehicle" Behemoth tank was designed for increased firepower and heavy ArcShield Maxi II Armor rather than speed or maneuverability. The design at 100 tons allowed the Behemoth to engage both distant and short-range targets, while allowing it to stand up to almost any type of unit possible. The Behemoth is one of the few vehicles without a history of variant models. All variants are equipped with Enhanced Optics, Point Defense System and most come with AutoFlamers. Being a tank this size it handles quite well in the battlefield.


Roles and Gameplay Hints

Prime

The Prime variant of the Behemoth is a potent long-range fire support vehicle housing five Long Range Missiles 5 for a devastating blow fired together in groupfire to punch through LAMS defences or chainfired for a constant screen shake. Coupled with a good Tagger the Prime can almost spew a continuous stream of missiles. Its main guns are two Hyper-Velocity AutoCannons10 which each Fires a single high explosive projectile causing intensive screenshake and splash damage. Lastly for close defence, three Short-Range Missiles2 that are relatively fast and travel in a straight line. Six Extra Tons of Ammo, Zero HS as extras aren't required, EOptics to size up the battle and two AutoFlamers & one PDS for self defense.

Variant A - "Apocalypse"

The A is a mid to close range fighter. Contained in its main guns are Two Ultra AutoCannon10 that shoot bursts of two Heavy Kinetic projectiles with high damage and impressive DPS. Just beware of the jam Duration as it lasts 8 seconds. When the battle reaches 350m, two Streak SRMs6 and two Streak SRMs2 come to bear with their lock-on capabilities and combined devastating fire power while one PDS provides auto backup. Six Tons of Ammo to divide up, five HS hold heat in check & EOptics to survey the battlefield.

Variant B

The B's twin Rotary AutoCannon2 and dual Rotary AutoCannon5 makes this unit a high caliber Gatling gun. Ideal for ripping Aero wings, downing VTOLs or shredding armor off from its owner. Long range fire support is handled by the two Long Range Missiles10. EOptics help aim the RACs and Eight Tons of Ammo will allow you stay in the field for a good bit of time. Six HS for heat control and for Auto Protection Two AutoFlamers & One PDS.

Variant C

The C is a hard hitting long range unit with its main guns containing Two Extended Range Particle Projection Cannons, dishing out heavy screenshake at the cost of heat. Three Ultra AutoCannons5 provide high DPS along with bonus kinetic damage to air units. Two Long Range Missiles5 help locate and soften up incoming attackers. Three Free tons to feed the UAC5s, Six HS to help keep things cool, Auto Protection provided by Two AutoFlamers & One PDS. To zoom in on your targets EOptics.

Variant D

The D houses Guardian Electronic Countermeasures to help close the distance with its slow speed and relatively short ranged weapons. Dual Lubalin Ballistics-X AutoCannon 10s rip apart tanks along with devastating dual Heavy Particle Projection Cannons. Two Free tons for the LBX10s and Eight HS help control the the heat of the HPPCs for one Alpha Strike, after which they must be Chainfired. EOptics to insure your aim is right on. Auto Protection provided by Two AutoFlamers & One PDS.

Variant E - "Sheila"

The E can be a bit of a challenge to master. Housing Six Thunderbolt5s which lock on out to 750m but can travel almost 2000m. The effectiveness increases with a Tagger. The main gun is the Thumper Indirect Artillery Piece which can travel across the map to deliver enormous damage. Its shells arc while in flight, so learning to account for projectile drop is a must. Finally Three Medium Lasers for enemies that break the 500m mark. GECM to help mask your position, EOptics to help select your targets, Three Free tons and Seven HS will more than handle the heatload. Auto Protection provided by Two AutoFlamers & One PDS.

Variant F

The F is an extreme long range unit providing the cover of Angel ECM for its teammates. Two Hyper-Velocity AutoCannons 5 are its main guns reaching out to 1300m. Two Extended Long Range Missiles 20 can travel out to 1870m while raining terror on your foe, while your own dual LAMS protects you from incoming missiles. Six Free tons to divide up as you see fit. EOptics to keep your eyes on target. Auto Protection provided by Two AutoFlamers & One PDS.

Variant G - "Grounded"

The G can be considered one of the hardest hitting units out to 800m as its main gun holds the mighty Improved Heavy Gauss Rifle. Three Extended Range Lasers match the same range and pack a punch along with some heat. Beagle Active Probe is installed to help flush out targets along with EOptics so stay focused and make each shot count. Six Free tons of Ammo and an added Three SRM2 for close self defense, plus Three HS which can handle a Alpha Strike with ease. Auto Protection provided by Two AutoFlamers & One PDS.

Pro Tip:

As with most Tanks, Turret Pitch & the angle of the vehicle relative to level ground plays a major role in your ability for a clean shot of your enemy. Terrain awareness and positioning is a talent that needs to be developed and become second nature, to be proficient in its operation.

Canon

In 2947, Aldis Industries (soon to be the producer of the Demolisher and the Schrek), received a commission to produce a super-heavy tank for House Davion. Their assignment was to forego maneuverability and speed in the interests of heavy armor and massive firepower. Five years later, Aldis released the 100-ton Behemoth Heavy Tank. Many studies had shown that a tank’s main weakness was its inability to deal with superior numbers of smaller units, such as infantry or scout vehicles. Another study showed that a main battle tank must have at least one very powerful weapon to be able to stand up against even the lightest ’Mech. The Behemoth's design resolved both of these problems. With two of the heaviest cannon available and numerous smaller weapons, the Behemoth is a match for almost any combat situation. Although the original design concept called for a staggering twenty-one tons of armor, only thirteen were used to provide more weight for weaponry. Though not as thick as originally planned, the protection is more than adequate against most threats.
