very... angular.

Angles usually ain't bad on a tank,. when done correctly.

That makes them stealthyyy....... lol (bad excuse for angular software)

Nazguul will purchase four of these tanks for combat testing. We will wire the sum of twenty eight million dollars once our order is confirmed.

OOC: Nazguul, long time no see.... :D
IC:

Confirmed
The tanks will arrive within the next 3 days.

From what i know of tanks, that's pretty unrealistic. A range of 3000km? That almost accross Canada. You're talking about ICBMs

One thing I must praise is that it got no shot trap whatsoever.

shot trap?

Bump

bump

shot trap?
Its when theres a gap between the turret and the hull. Rounds going into that gap can easily blow off the turret and kill the crew.

Woah!

$7 Million? Why? Thats more than MBTs!

*Price Lowered*

Okay I will take 800.

$3.2 Billion

Money to be wired upon confirmation.

In a vehicle where the commander must perform extra duties, overall efficiency declines. I believe the Japanese tried it in ww2 and failed.

The idea is the extra duties are taken over by automated systems. This isnt 1940 anymore...

I'll buy 100 x 4 million = 400 million wired upon confirmation.

Ill buy 10 for the hell of it, $40 million wired.

You did not tell us anything about its armor.....or there lack of.
And this tank is not especially fast making its armor, though obviously light, still very important.

Give me the stats of its armor and positions or we will just stay with our own Petropavlovsk built T-90ES.
