OOC: This is all copyright, the tank is now going into full production, and so therefore all orders can be got to you quickly. I reserve the right to not sell to any nation, as well as being able to take back any tanks i sell, but this is unlikely to happen. This tech is slightly future, important to note when RPing.
IC:
The MBDT-12(reaper) is the newest invention from WiH. It has a new type of armour designed by which was designed directly to combat the threat of the relatively new ET (Electro thermal ) guns.
Weapon:
The actual armament is great, with 2machines guns as well as the main armament and mortar. This is to help combat against Personnel and top of the range AFV’s, as well as helicopters and MBTs of all types.
The ET gun uses electrical energy to control the release of energy from the rounds, and significantly improves on the performance of existing conventional Guns. The electrical energy is used to create a high-temperature plasma, which in turn both ignites the propellants and controls the release of the chemical energy stored in the propellants during the ballistic cycle.
Armour:
The main armour type is called trienum, a metal that was found in the asteroid called Nunder2, it landed in WiH billions of years ago(2 billion estimated). Trienum is a composition of several high density elements combined in what seems to have been a massive explosion, when the rock parted with its mother planet. Trienum Is reactive, and when hit by an ET type shell explodes, taking out around 100mm of armour, witch can be put back using the kits that are sold here. The Trienum is layered with Cobham and composite materials so that not all of the Trienum explodes at the same time. The tank also uses DU (depleted uranium) in a steel encasing to stop small arms fire and more conventional weapons (not using rail guns or ET technologies). This makes the tank as heavy as it is, but makes it extremely hard to penetrate.
EW systems: The tank uses MEWS-3(WiH)
Also, due to new EMP (basically microwave bombs that take out electronics) technology we have made a anti-EMP paint, that is added to every tank at no extra charge, this alone cost a lot of money and so we have patented this exact development.
To aid the crew the tank is equipped with
Specs:
Height: 2.52m
Length: 8.85m
Width: 3.8m
Weight: Max combat: 65tons
Combat average: 63tons
Range: Max: 600miles
Obstacle negotiation: Fording depth: 2.2 m on the move/7.5 m with OPVT (snorkel)
Trench width: 3.2 m
Vertical obstacle: 1.1 m
Maximum gradient: 45° Maximum tilt: 45°
Main Armament: 140mm ETC gun, firing rate 8-10r/m
Length of barrel: 10.85m
Secondary armament: coaxial 7.62mm GPMG, with 2000 rounds. AAMG 12.7mm Remotely operated. 500 rounds. One 81mm Mortar 23 rounds. There is space for more storage of ammunition without to much loss of fuel or any vital supplies.
Smoke dischargers: 4X2 smoke dischargers, can be adapted for use with normal rounds, with proper kit. It is also possible to add an anti-air missile system, such as the stinger type. If wanted, diesel fuel can be injected into the
Speed: Max road speed: 67KIPH
Max cross country speed: 55KPH.
Engine: WME A-360 1300hp Diesel engine
Ammunition: 45 rounds, 25 in carousel
Crew: 3
Armour: Trienum and DU in a steel encasing, 900mm thickness, with extra armour kits: up to 1400mm with speed, distance and weight changed to accept the extra protection.
Price: 5million Heavens DTR (equal to one US Dollar)
Trienum Armour kit 300mm(hull and turret, turret less): 50,000DTR
400mm: 53,000 DTR
Prices for Trienum armour are likely to go up as the amount of stock levels go down.
