The MAMBT (Momanguise Amphibious Main Battle Tank) 58 was designed with one purpose in mind, to create a cheap reliable amphibious assualt tank. It's production was ordered instantly after the Fascist White States war. So without further ado............

Several MAMBT's under going training excercises

Main Arnament: 120 mm, HEAT or HESH rounds (for bunkers)

Secondary Arnament: Heavy machine gun, two light machine guns

Armour: Steel*, Ceramic plates, Airial Cavaty, Futher Steel and Smart matierial webbing.

Crew: 3

Weight: 25 tons**

Amphibious Qualities: Powerfull propellors, the Tank can go at the aprox. 25 mph in ideal conditions. Unusual Turret elevation of 45 degrees upwards, this allows the MAMBT 58 to fire at targets whilst in the water (though this will obviously hamper movement). Airial Cavatys to give the Tank extra boyancy. Arial bags at rear, prevents the tank from tipping over when cannon is fired. Weighting system base and turret of the tank, prevents it from tipping over in rough waters. Escape mechanisms (think ejector seat in water avec air bags). Plus many other features.

Cost: 1 million per tank, production rights 50 million

Discounts: Production Rights free to all RBA/CA members. All allies recieve a 25% discount.

* Steel is demagnitised to avoid the attention of magnetic mines.
** The tank weighs comparitvly little because it does not carry the same ammount of ammunition/equipment as land based MBT's. The tank is designed for a role in storming beaches and assisting infantry in subsequent actions.

It would have pretty whimpy armor compared to an MBT to keep the weight down too.

It has, but when going against beaches, most armour will probably be destroyed. It's got strong front amour to protect against AT guns though.
