Izistan’s Main Battle Tank.
Image. (http://************/6kcrz)
Izistani officials announced today the existence of a new main battle tank developed by Robertson Arms vehicle division. The T-1 Keet as it is known, can handle extreme weather conditions and hostile enviorments. Some notable features include, the fitting of a FN-BRG heavy machine gun in place of a conventional 12.7mm machine gun and the coaxial 20mm cannon(for use against light vehicles and soft targets that do not require a 125mm shell). The tank was co-developed between The Northern Expanse and Izistan, although the Keet will only enter service with the latter. It is also being offered for export.

It's nice to see someone selling a realistic tank for a change, instead of one of those 100 ton monsters with oversized ETCs and an excessive number of 50 cal machineguns, that can still go at 70mph and deflect every last thing that's fired at it, while also having more ammunition than God.
I would order some, but I have my own.
Thank you for the praise.

Glad to see someone on these boards recognizes realism is a good thing and avoids the "My tank can beat up your tank!" syndrome. It's like the ships in Star Wars having neutronium armor. :roll:
I was the technical advisor on this one though Izistan didn't need much help. I would put up my own designs but I'm too lazy to draw them right now with school and all. - Imperator Godwin

ten of your T-1 "Keet" tanks. As payment, we can offer our national currency, the bottlecap, or we have many stores of Macintosh "puck" mice that we use for weapons, and can train you in the methods. Or perhaps you would like a shipment of several of our national animals, the Aibo. They're quite intelligent for mechanic dogs, and our top breeders are coming up with ways to use them for attack dogs, hounds, drug-sniffers, etc.
The Dominion of LeberMac does not have substantial military forces, we mainly protect our freedom with our crack special ops teams that hopefully deflect incidents before they become major problems. Hence, the need for some capable armor units.

The only concern I have with the design, is that I'd expect a crew of 4 rather than 3, and I personally would equip a 7.62mm machinegun on the turret rather than a 15.5mm, but that last point is just a matter of preference, rather than realism.
Like the T-72, the T-1 has an automatic loading and ejection system and thus only requires 3 crewmembers, Commander, Gunner and Driver.
LeberMac your order is recieved, if you can convert your currency into 48 million American dollars or Keikos, it would be great.

The Dominion of LeberMac, being a relatively small nation, has perhaps generated a deficit spending trend here, but the 48 Million US Dollars are hereby transferred into your account as requested, along with a small gift of one of our most feared Aibo guard dogs, which can be replicated through standard nanotechnology techniques, if your nation has the means.

The Federation of Serengarve is starting to expand its military capability, and wishes to order 500 of you T-1 "Keet" tanks, money wired upon confirmation of order.
Order confirmed Serengarve.
They are being sent to your nataion via cargo ship and will arrive in three NS weeks.
Also, if you require it, we can repalce the 125mm with a 152mm gun/missle launcher (Like the M551)(The 152mm version is known as the T-1A2 Kasatka)

If we do order the upgraded version, is there an increase in cost as well? We could afford it, however it would be nice to know.
The Republic of Demidian is not interested in the purchase of the T-1, having a large well equipped fleet of Challenger 2s, but would like to praise you in the production of such a fine, well built vehicle.
*Demidian Council of International Industrial Excellence*
Henry Ford Award for Industrial Acheivement
Presented to the Nation of Izistan for the production of the T-1 Keet MBT
The price for the 152mm version is 4.9 million USD.
And thanks for the award!
OOC: I plan to design many more weapons, maybe even open a little storefront.

Very well, we shall take the upgraded tanks then. The payment has been wired.

How many do you require?
We shall still purchase the same quantity, 500.
Order received.
Will arrive in two months via cargo ship.
Tactical Note: The T1A2 works best as a anti-structure tank, the 152mm does not have the range of the 125mm, but works better on tougher targets such as bunkers or fortifications.
OOC: This was my first real sucessful design, I've grown rather attacted to it. So I'm offering it for sale again! Perhaps I shall open a storefront one day...
Oh and I'm no longer offering the 152mm version for export.

A very nice REALISTIC design. I'd definately order some, if I weren't devoted to my upgraded merkavas and abrams.
OOC: Thanks. I have some other designs around too...
BUMP.
(Money, thats what I want).

(I'm willing to offer production rights..)

OOC: I'm almost done with a storefront for all my designs (including items that have never been offered for sale, of course). I just have to locate images for the designs, so be on the lookout for it soon!

OOC: Well, its been awhile, so if anyones interested feel free to buy. And I have alot more then 1700 in service now :P.
