BA-5 Main Battle Tank

OVERVIEW

The tank is not as big as it looks. In fact, it is just so long so that it is capable of standing the main gun's recoil. It is designed for both urban and rural combat, and is NBC sealed. Is capable of crossing a five-foot-wide trench. Planning for deployment of said tanks in Lybia and Demonic Terrorists is planned.

What kind of armor?

Depleted Uranium.

To base your armour entirely on Du and aluminium is a very very silly thing to do.
Even the hardest Du alloys simply don't have the nessicary stiffness to provide proper armour protection you really have to combine it with at least some sort of steel backing and frontal layer.
