The Demolisher is an Inner Sphere main battle tank. It is the most durable vehicle available, and all variants have plenty of free space for extra ammunition, giving it excellent staying power on the battlefield. All variants come with a duo hard-hitting weapons, allowing it to rip through the armor of any mech foolish enough to overlook it.
The Demolisher is known to have some maneuverability problems, notably it's nearly impossible to stay still on a slope without constantly holding a break [x] or turn quickly while accelerating.

Roles and Gameplay Hints
Prime
The Demolisher Prime is potent frontline tank mixing high damage with lots of armor and nice pack of additional equipment. LAMS allows it to cover itself and nearby units from incoming enemy missiles, while GECM let it surprise the enemy, especially while performing the escort duty. Its dual AC20s are a force to be reckoned with, especially when set to chain fire as the heavy projectiles smash into opponents causing massive screenshake every second. As it can only reach out to 350m with its AC20s and moves at a slow 57 KPH, great care should be taken by using cover to close the distance to its prey.
Variant A
The A variant is best used a sniper. It can be very hard to detect if running with Passive Radar, because its low profile and dark color allow it to blend in nicely with its surroundings, especially on maps such as TSA Marshes and TC Inferno. Eoptics allow it to snipe targets at maximum possible range. On some maps, the Demolisher A can also be used for anti-air duty, notably on TSA Sandblasted where while standing on the dune edge it can very efficiently aim at ASF flying above.
Variant B
This variant is quite similar to the prime, swapping out the AC20s for twin LBX20s which reach out to 450m, a hundred more than the prime. The rate of fire is less but does almost twice the damage in one volley. It also has GECM and LAMS for added surprise and missile protection. Tactics are similar to the prime, it is best used by following a brawler mech into battle, then crippling its opponent, which will more than likely choose the mech as the priority target. By staying out of the brawl, the Demolisher B can fire accurately at parts of the mech, making it more likely for teammate to survive.
Variant C
The C variant is purely a missile support vehicle and is quite ineffective without a teammate using TAG or NARC beacons to guide the terrifying extra long range arrow4 missiles in. The onslaught and massive splash damage of these missiles can heavily damage assaults and outright destroy lights or mediums in just a couple volleys. As they have a significant minimum range of about 500m, the Demolisher C pilot must keep the range open at all costs.

Variant G
This variant goes away from the demolisher norm of having slow-firing weapons, and mounts a pair of high rate-of-fire RAC5s supported by twin SRM4s. The RAC5s will chew through ammo and overheat quickly, so care must be taken when firing them for sustained periods; however, they output a huge amount of damage if fired accurately and consistently. The high rate of fire also makes this tank strong against Battle Armor and light vehicles, which will suffer significant damage from RAC5s. The Demolisher G's protective equipment is extensive, mounting twin LAMS which effortlessly swat out all but the biggest incoming missile volleys. GECM keeps it hidden from radar till it can close the range to maximize damage from its RAC5s.
Canon
Demolisher, also called the "Mech Slayer", was designed as a unit powerful enough to destroy any Mech it'd face, and it successfully earn it's reputation since 2803. Through the Succession Wars Demolishes served in various duties, from front-line combat to defense of a worlds that could not invest in BattleMech forces. Being most effective in urban environment the Demolishers earn their fame in between many during the Rim Worlds Republic assault on Draconis Combine world of Kessel, when four Demos destroyed two Rampage Assault-class Mechs, and scare off rest of two BattleMech lances.
80 ton Demolisher is armed only with two 185mm AC20 giving it immense firepower against heavy targets, though leaving defenseless against any infantry or light vehicles. Still though 10 tons of armor provide enough protection for allies to come in time with support. Maximum speed of 54 km/h and 4 tons of spare ammunition make it more than capable for leading longer battles.
