The Armed People of Xanter are proud to introduce to you the XShark HoverTank

http://ew2.lysator.liu.se/zone/r/o/roman/idtank1.jpg

This is the hovertank design that is being produced in Xanterian factories all over the homeworld.

It has a 160 mm flak gun, a rocket launcher rack with 8 rockets abe to fit in it, and a top speed of 70 mph. It has 4 inch thick plate of armor,a crew of 2, and a radar-jammer.

Its price is 7 million. The first 100 for military use have been produced, so we are now selling them.

OOC: I am having trouble with the speed and price. These are the 2 things that always confuse me. Can someone give me some feeback on what a good price/speed for these hovertanks would be appropriate?

What type of armor do your tanks have? (Titanium, Steel, Kevlar, Blaah,etc.)

Also, what is the general survivability? I am looking for a recon tank for my nation's small army and need to know what pilot survival rates are when hit with enemy fire. (My army is small, so every good pilot counts.)

Well, mostly steel, but there are some titanium spots, such as surrounding the pilots cockpit and hovergenerators and engine.

The durability is pretty good,unless a ICBM hits the exact place where the cockpit it. :wink:

OOC: I no im gonna sound like an old annoying GIT and im not trying to stunt your fun or anything but a nation your size probably wouldnt be able to mass produce toothbrushes let alone highly advanced tech like this!! Maybe i could donate money for you to be able to build em!

TO buyers; sent.

To IH:

Well, by mass-producing we meant making/filling a 5 hundred quota,and that about 120 were found on stolen DropTransports, I think we could. But funding would be great, if you could.(Oh, and I've also been funded by another pretty big nation!)
