Not really, although it cannot cross bridges it is designed totravel underwater thanks to a snorkeling mechanism. Repairs are not hard either.

Wonderful, going 23-40 Mp/h on the ocean floor to reach the nation because it can't be airlifted or put on a ship.

You can put them on ships, but no MBT can be airlifted.

It seems more like a fixed-ark artillery cannon, from the pictures and technical information... isn't it abit of a hassle having cannons that are always pointed forward?

Fixed- or limited-traverse forward arc would be a disadvantage in an offensive manuever, but would count for little on the defensive. But yeah, still, you basically got yourself a big mobile artillery peice.

Nope, its fully rotatable. The turret is electronically turned.

The pentagonal stucture contains a bunker where up to five men can fight from.

The square stucture is where the commander sits. Both stuctures rotate to move the guns.

Id try and find a picture that looked like the turrent moved. Because in your picture it looks like to move the turrent it would have to move the cockpit and everything.
