I am at current using the Tennoth tanks as my major unit however i am looking for a new heavy battle tank that will take the place of the Tennoth tank and become my A unit. The Tennoth tank will then be relegated to B unit class and Challenger 2 to C unit class.

At current my Tennoth tank force consists of 20000 tanks iamlooking to downgrade this by using a more versitile and reliable tank. the refit is expected to take place over 7 NS years contract expected to run into the tens of billions.

Iam also looking for new planes and heavy bombers. I currently use the Xirath fighter and Beyal fighter bomber as the mainstream of my arieal forces however i lack somthing in the heavy bomber range.

All advice is welcomed. (Could not find a store front that met my needs)

Well as all those mentioned are my stuff let me offer my thanks for buying them.

As for a long range bomber what about the PX-201 and PX-202? Both are long range bombers.

And for a new fighter how about the PX-104, my new fighter.

Alas we haven't yet designed a new tank - we are mainly a naval and air force nation.

Tanks eh?

*Rummages through blueprints draw*

Ah! Here we are, The Frost Tank. We only called it that because it we used it in the snow and cold, not because it fires ice!!

Its a good solid tank that is very good in any condition, as i say we used it in very cold conditions and tank, fuel and crew didn't freeze up!!

It takes four crew, has on main turret and machine gun near hatch. Runs on blue diesel best, but can run on whatever fuel you throw in :wink:

I can sell you the blueprints for 5,000,000TM (trix marks) or i could produce them for you for a better price.

The Advanced Combat Ground Vehicle, or ACGV, Viper, the MBT for the ICMC:

The Viper represents a new level of technology and effectiveness on the battlefield. The Viper is classified as an MBT, but is far more than that. It is a mobile combat platform. The first concern, as should be, is the weapons.

The Viper is equiped with two main guns, mounted in an 'over under' style, contained in a single sheath. The upper gun is a 90mm Gaus cannon, cappable of accelerating the UD slug to speeds over 80 miles per second (on full power). The slug is, at this speed, capable of ripping through just about an armor at any range. It can also fire an incindeary magnisium round that bursts into flame and turns into a jet of liquid molten due to air friction.

The lower weapon is a 135mm ETC cannon, capable of firing any 135mm round manufactured with chemical launch (they way standard guns fire, using powder to launch the round) ability. However, the round is further accelrated by a set of medium powered magnetic rails. While not as ranged as the 90mm gauss, it is just as powerfull, and deadly.

Both guns are autolevled, and use the most advanced targeting techniques used by the ICMC, including laser, XLIDAR, microwave, and FLIR, plus more. The guns are capable of acurately hitting a target when the tank is moving at its top speed of just under 100mph. The guns both use a working autoloader, capable of loading the gun fast enough to fire a round every 4.33432 seconds. Or 4.5 for all of you non perfectionists. Both guns can be fired at teh same time.

Further, the ACGV is equiped with two four round launchers firing the ground launched version of the AIM-54. It is also equiped with two remote targetting .50cal machine guns, and two coaxial mounted .30cal Miniguns.

Power is generated by a GV5008-45 Plasma generator. The GV5008-45 is capable of producing 5,000HP, propelling the tank to speeds of near 100mph on a smooth surface, 85 on a nonsmooth surfaces. It also powers all electronic goodies in the tank, including the targetting systms and power steering, AC, AM/FM radio, CD player, and xenon headlights.

Defence ranges from a simple coil wire armor that, on impace difuses the energy of an incomming round, therefore offering supperior protection than most 'interceptor' style armors that launch off the tank pre-impact. The coil wire armor can be replaced in field by anyone with a basic training of how to do it. However, this is assuming the enemy can hit the tank.

The Plasma Generator also powers an advanced cooling system that reduces the heat signature of the tank to the point that the tank itself presents a heat signature slightly larger than that if the Viper was off and all systems shut down. It also powers GhostSkin, an active camoflauge system that renders the tank invisiable to the human eye.

The tank is crewed by a minimal presence of two persons, driver and gunner, and requires an onbase support crew of four personel. The ACGV is the penultimate in ground combat, and signifies the future of ground combat.

All for a miniscule export cost of 5.9million USD.

That GaussCannon isn't very powerful, and won't go through much. 20mm of properly made explosive reactive armour would stop it.
(ooc: to say ti can go through any armour at any range would be classed as godmodding in any proper RP thread)

Its not the power of the gun that makes it powerfull, its the round itself. For example, the 120mm cannon used by many tanks today isnt all that powerfull, but put an APFSDS round into it, and you got yourself a dedicated straight up tank killer. And honestly, I think 80mps is pretty fast. That means in a single minute, it moves over 4,000miles. And yeah, that would rip through an Abrahms or a T-90 no problem. The tank has plenty ways to be counterd, you just have to figure out a way to counter them.

Yeah, but would it really start going that fast?
