Stats?

your suppose to take the lowest bid, like who wil do the work for the least, i'll do it for 1 billion if the number of tanks is 1,000
Pergatorio
20-09-2003, 19:40
I will manufacture the tanks for $500,000,000, if I can manufacture and use them for my own military purposes and ends.
20-09-2003, 19:41
How many tanks do you want to be manufactured, cause thats really the big thing.

It is not complete yet, but these are the planned specifications:

Panzerkampfwagen VII 'King Leopard Sturmpanzer'

Armament:
2x 140mm Main Cannon (independently targetable and rotable)

Composite armor

Double the thickness of a Leopard 2s armor (The armor thickness of the Leopard 2 series is Classified, so assume double).

2000 HP Diesel Engine (Gas Turbine has too many drawbacks)
20-09-2003, 19:53
We want 1000 of the said tanks manufactured for the Attican Military ONLY. Manufacturing can start once Attican Motorwerke releases the blueprints to the Ministry of Defense.

Ok well this looks very similar in the armor and other stuff except for the fuel guns to my MT-79 MBT which sports 1200mm of armor. I can reorganized a couple of those factories to produce this tanks for and estimated 5 million each.
20-09-2003, 19:55
IE 5 bill for all 1000.
20-09-2003, 19:57
IE 5 bill for all 1000. Yes, thats mainly because of the double turret, which i'll have to mkae completely new forging stuff to do that.

You mean double cannon turret :) There is only one turret.

We would like 3 prototypes built right now for testing purposes.

*sends blueprints for Prototype to Ardor* Please deliver them ASAP.

20-09-2003, 20:05
Rather, I will manufacture the prototypes in Attica Motorwerkes factories (normally build Aircraft, but they *Can* make tanks, just not so fast.). One every 2 NS days will be complete.
20-09-2003, 20:06
Main thing thats gotta change in factory is the fact that i use a Steel-Titanium Ceramic composite, which is alot harder to amke and requires special things.
20-09-2003, 20:08
Our factories usually use a Ti/C composite (Titanium/Carbon Fibre), but the outer shell of the King Leopard will most likely be that, so that is what we will use.

The First King Leopard manufactured was subject to arms tests. The right side of the tank was fired upon at 500meters by a Leopard 2 MBT. The shell failed to penetrate the King Leopard's armor. The next shell was fired at 200meters. It failed to penetrate the King Leopards armor. The next shell was fired upon at 100meters. It penetrated, but the ammo did not detonate. The King Leopard WAS disabled.

The Second King Leopard was subject to anti air combat. It was equipped with a Painter AA missile launcher (Machine gun, Rocket Launcher, and AA missiles are plug and play into its tertiary weapons port.) 3 MiG-29s were launched after it. All 3 MiGs were 'destroyed' before dropping payload. 2 AF-100s carrying Anti-Armour weaponry were dispatched. One was hit but not fatally, the other succeeded in destroying the King Leopard.

The Third King Leopard was subject to military trials against Leopard 2s. All opposing Leopard 2s were destroyed with no hits on the King Leopard.

Production is slated to begin immediately.
