Currently the Imperium uses the M2 Firefly manufactured by Arkangel'skie Voennye Sistemy for its OpFor training needs. However, since the design is not only manufactured in the Imperium but also supplied by the Imperium's primary armour manufacturer, it has a major problem in that it too closely follows the design principles sought for mainline Imperial tanks. This is not to say it is deficient, far from it, but it does not accurately simulate the foreign tanks it is likely to meet on the field of battle.

Joint Strategic Command has not decided how many tanks it will purchase; it is likely that a wide range of tanks to receive the best results out of training. However, there are two major criteria, those being:

1) The tank must mount an ETC gun of no less than 110mm and no more than 155mm.
2) The tank must come with a methanol-burning engine, if necessary the Imperium will pay extra to have such an engine installed in any purchased tanks.

[Bump. I would have thought there would be droves of people wanting to sell their tanks.]

Check out DCA's tank section, particularly the Ocelot and the Crusader X. The ocelot is a refinement on the Merkava IV and is used in Chardonayan Dragoon squadrons, while the Crusader is a heavily upgraded Abrams chassis. Our PackRat tank is admirably suited to your needs, as it is basically a Crusader X with replaceable turrets. The 120mm mortar carrier can, in only a couple of minutes, become a tank with a 120mm ECT cannon, a flamethrower tank, AAA, or 155mm assault gun. All three carry 120mm ECT cannon, and the Ocelot can carry 6 infantry in the back. They run on extremely efficient deisel/electric turbines which could be converted to methanol easily, though there would be a loss in range due to the reduced energy dencity of the fuel.

The Aequatian Military Industries Gladiator Mk.3 Main Battle Tank is an upgrade of the successful Gladiator tank design which has been in Aequatian service for years. The most recent upgrade includes the installment of a 140mm ETC gun, to modernize the vehicle for the modern battlefield, although not as advanced as the new Cougar Mk.1 which mounts an autoloader version of the 140mm gun, the Gladiator is much heavier and can deal out a lot more damage as well as providing enough systems to allow the crew to escape should the vehicle suffer catastrophic damage in battle.
