15-11-2003, 16:25
Islandopia Goatdog's own corporation, Coco Corp. has unveiled a new tank, the sonic tank. It shoots out sonic blasts to crack open most types of armor. It comes with lead plating to make it radioactive-resistant. It also has a large projectile cannon. Designed for the war against Bob Fred The Elephant. Used-300,000 coconuttys per tank
New-500,000 coconuttys per tank

edit: if you want to see the test results post here

edit: someone post please I'll make the tank cheaper if you want

Update: The tank is now equipped with a frequency tracking system

lead siding would nearly kill your people inside if they were in there too long
15-11-2003, 16:45
Well the lead is on the outside the inside is protected by solid titanium.

I'd like to see a little more information on what the tank is, its specifications, and especially how this sonic weapon cracks open armor.
15-11-2003, 16:47
well the weight varies. the sonic weapon of course sends out sonic waves which make the other tank vibrate so much that it basically cracks the armor. The projectile is just like any othe. But it is a depleted uranium cell like in a tank buster

15-11-2003, 17:03
well any buyers

$13,000 per tank is a rather low price. For the tech used, it should be priced over $US 1 million. You can buy a car for $13,000, which does much less.

well with the ammount made for the war it greatly reduced the cost

well with the ammount made for the war it greatly reduced the cost.
15-11-2003, 17:10
and also it is really $300,000 for optimum efficiency

We'll take 100 to use for our terraforming project.

$US 1,300,000 wired
15-11-2003, 18:07
We'll buy 1,000 sonic tanks.
15-11-2003, 18:08
A standard tank costs at least a million.
15-11-2003, 18:12
I'll take 2000 of these sonic tanks please
15-11-2003, 19:23
you will all get your tanks shiped as soon as you wire the money
15-11-2003, 19:34
A standard tank costs at least a million.
well this isnt a standard tank

lead weighs lots

what kind of engine are you using ?

how are you generating enough power to generate a sonic wave powerfull enough to destroy tanks?

how do you make the sonic wave a wave, rather then a massively spread noise?

how do you prevent the generator of the sonic wave from destroying your own tank?

did you know sound moves at the speed of sound (aprox 300m/s) and is thus completely useless for long range combat?

did you know that just the chassis and armor of your sonic tank probably costs around 25,000 USD?
15-11-2003, 20:01
well these are used tanks. It is classified technology for the rest of remmonlands questions. A brand new one is only a little bit over 500,000. They are simple to make
15-11-2003, 20:20
well the sales are going well
15-11-2003, 20:33
more sales buy buy

How is it a simple tank to make??? Sonic weaponry seems really complicated and expensive.
15-11-2003, 21:02
well coco corp. is experienced and has their "sources" of technology
15-11-2003, 21:06
I am considering ignoring this tank as he has given no OOC reasons as to why it works, therefore, IMO, this tank DOESN'T work, if I see it in combat, I will assume it is a cardboard dummy.
15-11-2003, 21:11
it is an electric tank like an electric car and the sonic blasts are powered by a fusion generator the rest is classified. It goes 45 mph
15-11-2003, 21:20
so........ anyone else going to buy
15-11-2003, 21:56
check the new update
15-11-2003, 23:03
this tank has brand new technology

Hehm, looks nice. I'll take one new one for my lawn. $0.5 million wired, assuming as everyone else has implied that the coconutty-USD exchange rate remains approximately 1:1.

I can't speak for others, but I'd personally buy more if you charged $67 million and explained them as "Fantasy Future Tech." It's not like that would alter the public opinion, any way. http://www.sc3000.com/forums/images/face1.GIF
