Standing some 20 meters tall and weighing in at 250 tonnes, the Type 50 Yokai Heavy Assault Mech is an imposing sight and one feared on the battlefield. Introduced in 2203, they are the first members of the Third Generation of Combat Mechs used by the Imperial Japanese Military. Though they are expensive and so far only 65,000 have been produced, their effectiveness on the battlefield makes even a single Yokai a force which is met with awe by the forces of the Empire and dread by its enemies.



Yokai Assault mechs are armed with a variety of weapons. The most common (Seen here) is a 95mm Rail rifle. Firing high speed AP rounds at a rate of 300 RPM (or at a slower rate if nessisary), this weapon can make a mockery of most tank's armor. For harder targets, a set of vertical launching missiles are employed. Its secondary weapons are a pair of wrist mounted laser cannons comprable in output to that of Ikazuchi mech's beam rifle (albiet with a further reduced rate of fire for full power shots). For defense, the Yokai is heavily armored, but also possesses a highly miniaturized defense screen generator. This allows the Yokai to establish a frontal defense screen. This can only be maintained for periods of a few minutes before overheating, but it can make the front of a Yokai highly resistant to missiles and shockwaves (though it does not offer much protection against high speed kinetic impactors which can get through.



Yokai are generally used alongside Imperial Armored columns of Medium and Light Tanks. While they are slow, few things save for ultraheavy tanks such as the European SpW-45 Reichsritter one on one. Their weaknesses is their slow speed (at best 50km/h) and their weak back armor. The prefered tactic by the European Alliance when engaging Yokai with main battle tanks is to strike at them from two sides at one with superior numbers.
