I'd probably go with $7 million, since i'm guessing its quite advanced.

Oh, and i'll take 500 when you decide on a price.

$6.5 Million, USD.

That will be $3,250,000,000, McLeod03. Production has already begun, expect the tanks to be delivered bulk in 2 RL days.

OOC: The reason for purchasing medium tanks:

Sure, you can have your Leopard 2s, King Leopard, Abrams, et cetera, but when the weather turns rainy, that multi-million dollar peice of metal turns useless. Infrastracture and roads are also damaged by the weight of these machines. Medium tanks take over for heavy and superheavy tanks in these conditions, and are faster.
