Design NOTES: This tank is, quite frankly, huge and it has the armament to match. The 145mm ETC Cannon can destroy just about any MBT or other armour there is. The coaxial M60 is not the American SAW but the Imperial SAW which is produced by Phoenix Defense Idustries and is a first line of defense against infantry. The 30mm Chain Gun is meant to engage enemy mechanized armour and infantry with devastating effectiveness. The hull-mounted mini-missile launchers are designed to be used against enemy vehicles while the side mounted mini-missile launchers (which look like smoke grenade launchers) are meant as point-defense weapons against ATGMs. As a last ditch defense against infantry, seven claymore mines are mounted on each side of the hull and four on the front and back.
