The HH-a Javelin is the standard Colonial Half-Track. It starts with no weapon but can mount any tripod weapon.
Description
Crew
The HH-a Javelin is able to seat a crew of 2 (1 driver, and 1 gunner) and 5 passengers (1 co-driver and 4 in the rear). Each crew seat must be entered from the correct side: the driver enters the vehicle from the left side, the passenger from the right, the gunner from the rear of the vehicle, and the rear passengers from the rear left. The gunner and rear passenger position is open making them vulnerable to incoming fire from the sides and rear.
The rear passengers are able to use Binoculars as well as Secondary Weapons.
Inventory
It has 7 inventory slots that can only hold ammunition for the mounted weapon (does not stack).
Armament
The Half-Tracks start with no weapon but any tripod weapon can be mounted on its forward mount.
To mount a tripod weapon pick up the weapon, press B then LMB on the Half-Track. To remove the mounted weapon, open the vehicle's menu with E and click the "Detach Tripod Weapon" button 
in the bottom right corner.
The mountable weapons are:
- Mounted Anti-Tank RPG
- Malone Ratcatcher MK.1
- Lamentum mm.IV
- Mounted Infantry Support Gun
- Mounted RPG Launcher
- Mounted Anti-Tank Rifle
The firing arc of the mounted weapon is relatively limited.
Health & Armor
The Javelin has slightly less health and less armor than other Half-Tracks. It is still more durable than standard Armored Cars. It can soak small arms and shrapnel, but heavy calibers, anti-tank Launchers and heavy explosives are a real danger. A single Anti-Tank Mine will track and cripple the Javelin, two will kill it.
Its armor is too thin to ever deflect Armour Piercing shells.
It is relatively cheap to repair.
The Javelin's tracks can be damaged by explosives, making it very slow.
Engine & Size
The Javelin's lower armor gives it a decent off-road speed. Combined with its relatively low fuel consumption, the vehicle can last for a long time without having to refuel. Its on-road speed isn't extraordinary.
The Half-Track can be packaged, forming a large Shippable that can be lifted by Crane, but only transported by a Freighter or Barge.
It is heavy enough to trigger anti-tank mines and cannot safely cross Field Bridges. It cannot cross Trenches. It can run over Sandbags, tier 1 walls, and Barbed Wire Fences.
Tactics
The Javelin can only handle targets in front of it. It is best to keep it forward facing at all times, to protect the gunner and allow them to shoot. In case of situations where retreating is necessary it is still recommend to reverse instead of turning around and exposing the gunner.
The vehicle is extremely versatile due to being able to swap mounted weapons, its relative good speed on and off-road, and its 5 passenger seats. It can be an armored infantry carrier, an armored infantry support, an anti-armor vehicle, an anti-structure vehicle.
When equipped with a Mounted Machinegun, a well coordinated crew is able to use the vehicle as a strong area-denial tool by stopping the enemy infantry, preventing builders from constructing defenses and, in cases of poor defenses, as a strong assaulting force. The machine gun's long range should be used to its full potential to avoid taking damage.
The vehicle is not ideal to assault an elevated position due to the gunner position being vulnerable.
It's recommended to have a rear passenger using binoculars to help find targets and spot threats.
If it is not equipped with a Mounted Anti-Tank Rifle, Mounted RPG Launcher, or Mounted Bonesaw MK.3, it cannot fight armored vehicles armed with anything bigger than a machine gun. Even a T5 "Percutio" presents a danger.
Weaknesses
The high speed of the vehicle means it is able to escape situations quickly and so if aiming to destroy one of these it is best to work in a group with AT weapons (R.P.G.,Sticky Bombs, Anti-Tank Rifle) and to aim at the tracks to damage them and slow down the vehicle. A small organized force is able to quickly destroy these with minimal effort if working together.
Given the Javelin's decent off-road speed and good fuel economy, many crew will spend a lot of time off-road. That's why Anti-Tank mines, which remain invisible to the crew and can cripple or kill the vehicle, make the perfect counter.
