Z-96's will continue to stay in service for at a small scale in the Marine Corps because of their high speeds. Their targeting systems, armor, and possibly their main gun will be upgraded. These will be sold to any nation for $1,100,000 each. Perfect for nations who wish you bring their armour divsions to higher numbers with good quality.

A new tank named the X1A1 Raven, currently 10 as of right now existing in the prototype stages has been confirmed by the Minister of Defense and Premier Donathon to be deployed as the new MBT of Nycton. Mass production will begin to build a estimated 18,000. The cost for each one of these units is $5,600,000 USD. (The government is funding $100,800,000,000 to the project. :shock: ) The new 140mm uses a unique chamber, allowing the human loader of the tank to load 2 rounds in the barrel at once. Once the first round is fired, the second one seated above it will fell into the barrel as the human loader reloads the backup round, increasing rate of fire significantly.
