The Democratic Republic of Ace Venturia has now ventured to a creat and market a new product. Along with Webdot Automobiles, Ace Venturia has created a mini tank. Each is the size of the average SUV, but is equipt will armor and weapons to make it a cheap and yet effective vehicle in combat. All mini tanks do not come with any weapons except the standard assault riffles. Weapons must be purchased separately but the design allows for the minitanks to easily be modified and upgraded to be compatable with almost any weapon. Although I do not have any pictures, there are several grades of mini tanks.

Class D: Isaac
Armor - Titanium shell, bullet-proof and dark tinted glass
Weapons - Front assault rifle (located on passenger side), rear assault riffle (located in the center of the trunk door), 5 small missiles launchers (on front of car).
Capacity - 6 Soldiers
Price - 35,000credits

Class C: Jacob
Armor - Titanium shell, bullet proof and dark tinted glass, titaium cover rims (cover most of the tire).
Weapons - Front assault rifle (located on passenger side), rear assault riffle (located in the center of the trunk door), 6 small missiles launchers (2x3 on front of car), 2 3/4 meter titanium ramming blades (made for smashing down walls, on lower right and left bumper), small cannon (top).
Other features - Front window X-ray scanner, Front window infared scanner, small booster rocket, GPS.
Capacity - 7 Soldiers
Price - 75,000credits

Class B: Joseph
Armor - Titaium shell, Titanium shell, bullet proof and dark tinted glass, titaium cover rims (cover most of the tire), metal wheel cover (protects all but bottom 8cm of tire), thick rubber tire.
Weapons - 2 Front assault rifles (located on passenger side and center), rear assault riffle (located in the center of the trunk door), 8 small missiles launchers (2x4 on front of car), 2 3/4 meter titanium ramming blades (made for smashing down walls, on lower right and left bumper), medium cannon (top), 2 mini missile launchers (located on front right and left doors, each holds 6 mini missiles).
Other features - Front window X-ray scanner, Front and rear window infared scanner, medium booster rocket, GPS, lazer missile detection system (detects approaching missiles, will be upgraded to defend the vehicle soon), thermoinvisibility system (invisible to infared).
Capacity - 7 Soldiers
Price - 105,000credits

Class A: Moses
Armor - Armor - Titaium shell, Titanium shell, bullet proof and dark tinted glass, titaium cover rims (cover most of the tire), metal wheel cover (protects all but bottom 7cm of tire), thick rubber tire.
Weapons - 2 Front assault rifles (located on passenger side and center), 2 rear assault riffles (located on the right and left sides of the trunk door), 10 small missiles launchers (2x5 on front of car), 2 meter titanium ramming blades (made for smashing down walls, on lower right and left bumper), 2 medium cannons (top, by front and back), 4 mini missile launchers (located on front and back - right and left doors, each holds 6 mini missiles), autolock missile turret (holds 2 tomahawk missiles, automatically locks onto the desired target, located on top of car).
Other Features - Front, rear, driver and passanger, window X-ray scanners, Front and rear window infared scanner, medium and small booster rocket (small on top of medium), GPS, lazer missile defense system (detects approaching missiles, will be upgraded to defend the vehicle soon), blinder lights (blind enemy on any side), thermoinvisibility system (invisible to infared), smoke screen.
Capacity - 8
Price - 145,000credits

As soon as some of our other research is complete, we will add on other modifications to the vehicles. Any modifications will be added on to already purchased vehicles for a cost of only 250credits per modification. If you are interested on buying one of these mini tanks, please respond. Thank you for your time.

feels like something that would only be effective if the other side does _not_ have anything above small calibre hand weaponry. take it into combat against an equiped for and you've got blown over one million dollars of men and equipment.

We applaud the technological research of new nations. However....


lazer missile defense system

and

50% camoflage cloaking system (helps the car blend in with surroundings)


How are you doing this? Especially since I haven't seen anything about researching active camoflauge or any kind of laser weaponry, let alone a defensive system. If you wish to have these on your mini-tanks, you probably should launch a thread entitled "Active camoflauge research," then RP it for a week or two (since you are such a new nation). As tempting as it is, you can't just bust out with something like that out of nowhere.

This being said, I would like to purchase 2 Jacob class mini-tanks for evaluation by my Special Operations forces for use in urban combat situations. However, I would like you to install a 400 hp V8 engine in both vehicles. Half of the money will be wired now and half will be wired upon completion of the transaction.

Sorry, I was not clear about some parts of the vehicle before. First off all Isaacs and Jacobs come standard with a 535hp v12 engine, all Josephs and Moseses come with a 600hp v14 engine.
Also, the cloaking system refered to is now under research. It will hopefully be put on shortly. Any sold Jacob may have newly researched modifications added onto it for only 250credits per mod. The lazer defense system I was reffering to simply detects missiles comign toward the vehicle. We are working on a system that will disable most missile targeting systems for the vehicle, a mod for the defense system.
And to answer the first response, all MiniTanks have enough armor to take almost as many hits as the average modern full size tank. Remember though, that MiniTanks are smaller but faster than a normal tank, which makes them more effective in urban warfare.

equivalent armour to an abrams and at one third the rated horsepower? and faster? (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/abrams/specs.html)
