Designed to be fast, strong, and efficient in battles against opposing tanks as well as any other enemy. Makes a good second wave, frontline, or preliminary strike vehicle. It Fires two types of rounds:

SABOT:
This round works like an arrow. Instead of using explosive material, it has a depleted uranium core, and damages with sheer momentum.

The heavy penetrator flies through the air at high speed toward its target . Because of its narrow shape, the penetrator focuses its full force into a very small area, plowing straight through heavy armor. As the penetrator enters the tank, heated fragments of metal fly off in all directions, hitting anybody and anything inside.

HEAT:
HEAT rounds use explosive firepower, rather than momentum, to penetrate armor. At its nose, the round has an extended impact sensor. When the impact sensor collides with a target, it ignites an explosive, which melts surrounding copper. A shape charge liner concentrates the molten metal and hot gases into a narrow blast that cuts through the armor.

This tank is designed to powerful, sturdy and able to travel nearly any terrain. It is good for crushing or firing on soldiers, or firing rounds to penetrate houses. As it's name states, it is a support tank. It was primarily developed to assist tanks and keep them guarded while they shell, but is a powerful weapon on it's own. Because of the depleted uranium fused with the Chobham armor, it can withstand bombardment from Sabot, HEAT, and many other anti-tank rounds for longer periods of time than most tanks.

They're too tall, judging by the pictures. The taller a tank the easier it is to detect from far away. A short tank, like Russian tanks, can hide behind stuff better, improving it's chances of survival. The other one doesn't have a turret; there's a reason that layout hasn't been used in a design since 1920. Personally I'd put a smaller gun on the Predator, so you can carry more rounds, something like 120, 125, 130 or 135mm, depending on what your allies and you use.

Just some ideas for you to think about.
