Please post your ideas on this tank.

You could slap on an internally-loaded mortar (as in the Merkava).

Looks good. Might want to add some comment on the optics used (i.e., Infrared and/or NVG seekers for night and haze, optical magnifications, targeting)...if you can.

*plugs specs into computer for simulated testing against Squorn manufactured vehicles*

thankyou we will put your ideas through.

[Input]

The Behemoth does pretty well against most vehicles, It only suffers in hilly terrain where its size cuts down on maneuverability. Also, it is assumed that the Behemoth will always travel with some kind of AA escort. Otherwise, things could get ugly. Also, mud and sand slow it down, due to its immense weight.

Yes we will always keep them with an AA escort but or research and development team is already loking for a way to put Stinger missile launchers on them.
