Realizing the armor is out of date with other Imperial vehicles, the E-1A has been released, with improved armor (old stats + new armor below), an improved engine to combat the added weight, a new anti-missle system, and a tungsten coat.

Armor: Chobham spaced armor with Electric Reactive Armor, Diamond Like Carbon under the Chobham, a one cm thick layer of tugnsten over all, and a kevlar layer underneath all of the outside armor for crew protection. A laser-jamming system (used by or being developed by the Chinese) is installed, as well as a Russian anti-TOW missle system to confuse them.
It is rated at 1600mm versus kinetic energy rounds, and 1,800mm vs. HEAT (+500 due to ERA). The top hatch does have a "crow's nest" (now shown in pic) that protects the commander.
Engine: As all Imperial land vehicles are, the E-1 is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell allowing more range, power, speed, and fuel effieciency as well as less heat generated (great for night fighting).
The fuel cell installed has been replaced with a more powerful engine, cutting range a bit but still alowing high speeds.
Armament: The main gun of the E-1 is the 120 mm L55 Gun-the new cannon to be used on the Leopord II tank in the future. Also, it sports a 7.62mm coaxial gun and a 7.62 mm loaders gun. The E-1's fire control system is the latest-generation digital computer from Wartech Computing of the Empire and is an improved version of that installed in the Imperial version of the M1A2 Abrams tank (which was the 'A3). The main cannon is effective out to 4 km.
Cruising Speed: 75 Kmph (45 mph)
Cross country speed: 45 kmph (28 mph)
Range: 700 km
Crew: 4
Weight: 60 metric tons ( 66.1 tons)
Cost: $6,000,000
