The Island States announces it's new "Snow Crab" tank, a modern alternative to our aging IST-02 "Avenger" (M60A3). After quick tests to make sure it's systems worked properly, the vehicle was put into immediate production (but not for immediate sale) in The Island States and our ally Hattia.
The Snow Crab will have the following features:
-------------------------------
Turretless design with frontal sloped armor (enhanced with Kontakt-5 ERA).
50mm thick armor skirting (over tracks) with Kontakt-5 ERA
3 man crew (commander, driver, gunner).
Autoloader (four shots per minute)
1x 155mm Stabilized Smoothbore Main Gun (able to fire APFSDS rounds, HEAT rounds and AT missiles)
1 x .50 machine gun (commander weapon)
6 x External ATGM launchers (will employ wire-guided ATGMs).
AGT-1500 turbine engine (maximum speed of 39.5 mph)
Nightvision-equipped gunsights
70 ton combat weight
