T 100 Protoype
The T100 Heavy Battle Tank is designed to take on Hogsweats main role that it is deprived in - field assaults. We usually use a Mark 90 or a T80/72 for these roles, but they are outdated. We feel the need to make a new vehicle. The T100 Uses an advanced type of armour, much like the abrams Chobham, but stronger. The T100 has around 500MM of armour all round, giving it maximum protection against enemy shells and missiles. However, it is slow and cumbersome, achieving a maximum rate of 60Mph on roads and around 35-40 on fields and ground. It weighs approximately 75 000KG, totalling dimensions of:
10 Metres of length
4 metres of width
3 metres of height. It has a range of around 280 Miles, as like the Abrams. Now, for the weaponry. The T100A has an amazing 150MM Cannon, set forth like a tank destroyer. It also has a coaxial machine gun of 7.62 and a hull set machine gun of 7.62. The T100B however, has a 180 Degrees rotatable 120MM cannon, with the same coaxial and hull weapons. The T100C has been fitted to fulfill several objectives, and can be reedited to hold a 100MM Mortar, a Flamethrower, and a 20MM AA cannon.

The T100 uses a "two liquid cooled diesel engine developing 1200HP, rolls royce.
Crew members total five, plus a commander making six.

The T100 can have dozers fitted to the hull. To aim its weapons it uses carbon dioxide laser rangefinder, thermal imaging, and full computerised fire control systems giving it a high firs tround hit probability. In addition, turret traverse is electric and the gun is fully stabilised.

OCC: I don't mean to be offensive or anything but what do you need a Co-Driver in a tank for? Is he like a Rally Co-Driver? Straight 100 over crest into long 3 dips into 4 tightens to 2.

Hull machine gun and if the driver gets shot, incapacitated, or can no longer drive it would be good to have another driver.
