Looking for tank project partners--Project IK-A2
Anakron is looking for partners for the design an building of a tank. We will accept anyone. Joining the Iron Kingdoms region is strongly suggested but not necessary. The tank should be something along these lines:
A) Relatively eco-friendly (ie biodiesel or fuel cell)
B) About 50mph top speed
C) Relatively cheap and/or fast production
D) Light or medium armor (or any new armor technology)
E) A short-range high damage or medium range moderate damage weapon
F) A machine gun mount
G) Either treads or a half-track
Basically I want to compile as much technology as I can into a light, fast, cheap tank. All partners will be given production and exporting rights on the tank.
We have the proper funds to make a tank with the capabilites of the 1 you said and many more...mechanics are working around the clock,scientists and engenieers are putting togeather differnt capibilities for it,but with you're combined funds! think of what we could come up with,also you will have production rights..
I will help!oh oh pick me pick me!
Sure you can both help...feel free to post anything new in this thread or telegram me...are either of you good with graphics?
Um, another option would be an Anti-Infantry Vehicle...a high speed low armor tank with two machine guns and possibly a grenade launcher
Right can anyone make something along the lines of concept art? Not necessary, but it would help.

I really cant draw, so no
Well i suppose we should assign areas to work on. Anyone have a particular expertise?

We would of course be willing to enter into a joint developemnt project to produce a vehcile more siuted to your needs.
All right I will examine your tanks and decide.
Later: The Koshi looks excellent. Partners, do you wish to continue with the project?
Looks like Crookfur beat me to it.
Hell, my modifications should make it better:
