Background

The M8A4 Modern Light Weight Tank/Armoured Gun System is a Federation light tank that was intended to support the Wiesel AWCs in the 10th Airborne Division, as well as being expected to replace Artemis equipped AHMWWVs in the 2nd Mechanized Division.

The basic hull of the M8 hull uses modular armour. It is categorized as STANAG 4569 level 4 protection, able to withstand 14.5×114mm AP rounds. The underbelly of the tank uses V-hull, able to withstand AT mines under the tracks and under the center. Due to modularity, the armour can be augmented to level 6 protection to 40mm APFSDS on the frontal arc to centreline: ±30° sides included and 60mm rounds. Urban survival kits can be equipped to allow it to better withstand handheld anti-tank weapons. The Mastiff can achieve speeds of 50mph and weighs 22.5 Tons in common configuration.

The M8A4 is armed with an autoloading 120mm cannon with a 30mm and 7.62mm machine-gun mounted coaxially. The M8A4 has a rate of fire of approximately 12 rounds per minute, with a ready capacity of 20 rounds and 20 more in hull stowage. A 14.5mm heavy machine gun is mounted on the commander's hatch.
