M-22 Tank Destroyer

Kazakhstania
08-12-2003, 19:09
Kazakhstania is building on its recent succes in the arms manufacturing business and has decided to momentarily skip past the business of tank building until various projects and upgrades have been completed. So, we have chosen to put all our current knowledge into one project, a project to destroy all current tanks in defensive and attacking positions.

We release to you our latest project, with pride and respect to our latest creation. We hope you like:

M-22 Tank Destroyer

http://naoruzanje.paracin.co.yu/ptz3.jpg

Design

Primary in the design was to have a large gun towards the rear, fairly light armor and a large engine near the front. This would be contrary to most design, but we thought we may aswell. So, we set about the project.

First choice was to arm it with an 155mm Electro Thermal Chemical Cannon. We tested this out for possibility and found that it was almost capable of blowing up anything on the planet. So, that was what it was, armed with an 155mm ETC Cannon.

To conitnue, we decided that to keep the large cannon and at the same time be light and fast, light armor was needed. Basically, very light ceramic armor mixed with cobalt and extra strong fiberglass was added. This allowed for almost the protection of the M1A1, with a lighter weighted chassis.

A large and mobile engine was needed. We have stuck with the Hydrogen engine, but rammed up the power to 800 Horsepower. Some may say overkill, but this allows speends of over 55 mph. The engine was placed near the front to allow the size and weight need for such a powerful engine to be realised, and the gun turret to be large enough at the back. This means limited recoil and easy maintenance.

Systems

As with all of our tanks, electronics are of the highest standard. It is fitteed with all our general fillings, plus some for the established role. We will detail you on what is contained.

The advanced targeting system from the M-15 is used, plus some for extra targets, at a longer range. Round deprevation and wind is now catered for to the extreme, and obstacles are scanned and tried to avoid. Building targeting is now less manual, and a responsive control system allows for easy manual targeting.

JTIDS is installed, plus a system that allows for round triangulation, multi targeting and communicating with other units to find other targets. This is unprecedented, and means teamwork among tank platoons and other forces is an ideal.

Engine economy and electronics economy are used in the system to save fuel, as well as the new system to bleed off any gases or leakd hydrogen in the tank. This means added safety for the crew, and less breakdown possibility.

New systems include a system enter co-ordinates instead of target for the gun, for over hilltop and BVR firing. Also, thermal imaging and NV are encompassed INTO the gunners targetting module. 360 degree cameras are standard, and there are 2 of them, which are displayed on screens for the driver and gunner.

Weaponary

The new weapon for this tank in an 140mm Electro Thermal Chemical Cannon, which can fire HEAT, Sabot and various small Anti Tank missiles. The cannon can also fire M-47 Dragon missiles, and the like. Both allow for various pacakged missiels to be fired, like Hellfires.

The cannon rounds are fed by a Autoloader, with a 8 round magazine. Its loading time varies. An autoloaders slot was found to be a waste of space, and a light autoloader was found to be far better an idea.

The tank only has a single secondary weapon, a 12.7mm Machine Gun to the front of the turret. Various round prevention systems are invloved, including our latest Laser Anti Missile Technology, given its first export.

Defender Laser

Another protection system is a multibarrel grenade launcher. There are 4 barrels on each side at the front, and 3 on each side at the back. This means there are 14 total launchers. 4 are loaded with Thermal and heat imager dazzlers in crackers, 2 with illumination flares, 6 with smoke dispensers and the last 2 with fragmentation grenades.

As always your equipment impresses me, as cheif of defence, to the highest. I have decided to push out all stops. The republic of Kazaakisthan would like to order a consignment of 100 M-22 Tank Destroyers for the combined price of

$190'000'000

This is definately well worth it. I will report back to you on the sucess of this tank in our own tests.
08-12-2003, 19:28

No I dont.

Sorry anyway. I joined this game knowing little except basic electronics, but am reading up on other aspects all the time.

If it got that chance of course. Whats the engagement range on this thing? And what happens when that front grill there recieves a hit... all in the open there and such...

The armament is bigger by a whopping 5mm than our latest tanks, yet the armor is less advanced.

Heh, does your economy have to be at a certain point to sell specialized stuff, or do you just have to have the ability to find stuff and make up realistic specifications? :D
