Description:
The HMTa-V2cLong Bow Assault Missile tank give the field commanders of the Imperium a much needed long range heavy artillery unit for siege warfare. It is a massive vehicle weighting over five hundred tons and as large as most dropships. It must be transported in very large Dropships and deployed as close to its deployment zone.
The HMTa-V2 Long Bow's main weapon system are the six assault missile pods which carry three fifteen meter long assault grade missiles each. Each of these pods can be loaded with variety of warheads including
* Assault Concussion Missiles,
* Heavy Incendiary Cluster Missiles,
* Heavy Carbonite Cluster Missiles
* Advanced Homing Cluster Missiles,
* EM-03 Missiles
* Laser-Guided Heavy Cruise Missiles,
* Intruder Missiles
The missile system can engage enemy troop and armor at ranges between 1 and 120 Kilometers. The effective range is limited by its targeting system which can target stationary up to 20 kilometers with accuracy via laser targeting. While the weapon system can fire in a direct fire roll it can not effectively engage targets under 1km.
Strengths:

* Light Armor - The armor of the Longbow is very thin as it relys on its heavy shielding to keep it safe in battles.
* Poor Defensive Weapons - The Long Bow only has one Pylon mountes Blaster cannon for anti personnel duties.
* Slow - The Longbow is very slow and must dropped into position as close as possible to the deployment zone.
* Size - The Long Bow is A massive vehicle and can only be deployed by very large dropships.
* Stationary Fire Only - The Long Bow must be Stationary to fire Missiles.
* Limited Ammo - the Longbow only carries 18 Heavy missiles with no reloads or magazine.
