The Mehmed variant of the Hannibal tank was not often fielded in the early stages of the Reconquest with good reason. Created as a siege tank, it was not as versatile as the Hannibal in the early years of the fight. At that time the Resistance were focused on out-lying Scourge defences and testing the alien invader with hit and run attacks. Wasting precious heavy tanks in situations where they would not be useful was not a strategy that most resistance commanders were willing to countenance – they had not survived this long by being fool-hardy. As the reconquest efforts on many planets (most notably Eden Prime) moves from beachhead and foothold operations to direct assault and bastion eradication, the Mehmed is coming into its own. Cracking defensive positions and breaking into fortified areas is why the tank was designed in the first place, and the huge calibre of its main armament excels at siege operations, destroying bunkers and emplaced weapons, and knocking out infantry held strongpoints. Most effective when deployed into the thick of the fighting by Lifthawk, the Mehmed will proceed to grind forward, heavy armour taking most damage the enemy can throw at it and countering with pulverising volleys that crush structures and demolish any defiance from the foe.
