================================================================================================
Overview:
    More of a side development of the Alacorn than a direct upgrade, the Mk. VIII model of the
    Alacorn heavy tank exchanges the three Norse Storm Model 7-D gauss rifles of the standard
    Mk. VI model with a trio of Poland Main Model X Silver Bullet gauss rifles. While lacking
    the direct "hole-punching" capability of the standard model, this weapon configuration
    allows the Alacorn Mk. VIII to effectively "sandblast" targets at a range similar to a Clan
    LB AC/5-X while delivering roughly triple the amount of terminal energy.
    
    The one area of direct improvement over the base Alacorn is in the realm of armor
    protection, as the Mk. VIII exchanges the Starguard Type VH standard armor used on previous
    Alacorn models with Glasgow Limited Primo ferro-fibrous armor, giving the Mk. VIII model a
    small improvement in effective protection over the Mk. VI for the same total armor mass.
    After the introduction of the Mk. VIII, retrofitting a similar armor configuration to the
    Mk. VI model became a popular modification, and as a result in 3089 New Earth Trading would
    introduce a version of the Mk. VI mounting ferro-fibrous armor directly from the factory.
