The FA-22K has been equipped steel encased depleted uranium armor, as the Abrahms M1A1. Due to it's depleted uranium armor, the vehicle is also protected against NBC warfare (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical). The FA-22K contains a Main Crew Cabin, Weapons Storage, an Ammunition Compartment, and enough rations to laset a crea up to 3 weeks. Each compartments is separated from one another by one or more armored bulkheads. Like the M1-A1 the top panels of the FA-22K have also been designed to move outwards if penetrated by a HEAT projectile.

ARMAMENT
2 FC-220 Heavy Machine Guns, 4 rear facing FC-221 16mm defense turrets, Dual RM-66 110 mm guns. The main armament is the 175mm F285 Digorean Gun, created by Jaquer Laumou of Fraces. The 175mm F285 Digorean Gun uses several types of rounds.

The F880 TLDWDT-M and F890 KX-T (training rounds).

The F7200 HEAT-MP-T and the F631 AVSXDB-M.

Both the F7200 HEAT-MP-T and the F631 AVSXDB-M include depleted uranium penetrator.

The Dual RM-66 110 mm guns use the the following rounds the F520 JGKLTR-M and the F6500 HEAT-MP-A.

The commander has a 13.66mm Lucouz M4 machine gun and the loader has a 9.34mm F210 machine gun. A 9.34mm F210 machine gun is also mounted coaxially on the right hand side of the main armament.

The FG-22K is slightly larger than an M-1 yet it performs just as well, if not better than it. The M1 is equipped with a Earhardt BVT 3250 gas turbine engine. The Markson T-2100-6K transmission provides six forward and three reverse gears. The new engine is slightly smaller than the M1's engine and is lighter, with rapid acceleration, quieter running and no visible exhaust. The Markson T-2100-6K is a 3000 horsepower engine, allowing the tank to reach speeds of up to 70mph/112.654 kmph

Do not be surprised when the ammunition and/or spare parts arrive before the AVF itself. These are sent out ahead of the tank for a purpose. A nation may wish to purchase more ammunition if it feels the supplied number is insufficient or a nation may have accidentally shorthanded. Larduct Motors and the government of Fracene thank you for your purchases and hope to do business with you again in the future.

As for the rights to manufacture the tank and perhaps modifying it, your request is being debated and you shall be notified shortly.

The Abrahms M1A1 is about 69 tons, versus the FA-22K's 70 tons. It's not THAT much bigger than the M1...

Considering it has 3 main guns and two turrets, it is considerably heavy and should be considerably bigger.

Still seems a bit too light for so many guns, unless you're skimping on armor.

It seems a bit underpowered as well.

Pwnica wishes to purchase 500 of these tanks, which totals $1,850,000,000. We will also add $5,000,000 for much spare parts and ammunition.

In addition, if you allow the sale of production rights (no-resale and non-disclosure, obviously), we wish to purchase those too.

The total of $1,855,000,000 has been wired.

Signed,
General Glyfforian,
Pwnica Ground/Sea forces.

Ooc. It seems to be big. On picture. And many guns. Somekinda leading tank?
And it's pretty cheap. For being big tank.

The Republic of Nireva will buy 5 of these, for testing purposes.
Total: $18.5 million [$18,500,000]

Money wired, once confirmed.

200 FA-22K Tanks have been delivered to Burnity Death along with the ammunition provided.

100 FA-22K Tanks have been delivered to Ratsonne with the ammunition provided for the tanks.

500 FA-22K Tanks have been transported to Pwnica along with additional ammunition to the already provided stock. Spare parts for the tank have also been shipped to Pwnica in addition to the large quantity of ammunition.

5 FA-22K tanks have been shipped to Nireva along with the provided ammunition for each tank.

Total Earnings: USD $2,983,500,000.--

One has asked our nation why we make these tanks? Yes, we are a young nation, and we may not specialize in arms tech. Not all around, at least. Tanks are the only types of arms tech we specialize in at all. What about the money, you ask? What does any other country do? They buget. They take their money, spend it on one thing, sell it, and make a profit off of that in order to increase the money that goes home in the little guy's pocket. We've also realized that for our nation to actually get anywhere in this world, we need to do something that will get us recognized. Tanks seem to be doing the trick. So, we're simply going from the old pizza parlours and soda cans to tanks. Seems as if our plan is working. You get World Class Tanks and our economy grows. Your home lands stay safe and your militaries grow stronger, while the poverty levels in our nation steadily drop.

Larduct Motors thanks each of the nations which have chosen the FA-22K. We appreciate your purchases and hope to continue to do business in the future. As for the new model tank being tested, we have a small offer. Not that it is for impression of any sort, but the nation which purchases the most model FA-22K Tanks will receive 10 of the new tanks, IF they are proven worthy of combat. Once again, we thank you for your support through purchasing our vehicles. :)

What's the word on the proddy rights?

What's the word on the proddy rights?

About production rights. You ask if you may buy the rights to manufacture the AVF's. Seeing as the plan can be either to increase the size of military, sell them yourself, or enhance them and do one or both of the previous we pose our own question. If you do in fact sell them or sell modified FA-22K's would you be willing to send a percentage of the revenue you make to Fracene?



Joseph Clemoux

Larduct Motor Company

We rarely sell anything anyways, and when we do it's either: A. Pwnica produced stuff (that doesn't include unmodified/modified versions of items purchased from other countries), or B. RL units, such as the M1A2, F-22, etc.

If you want to make sure anyway though, I'm sure we can agree on a fair amount of money to be sent to you from any sale of the tank, even though I can assure you it won't be sold on our part.

Tecrojia would like to purchase 200 more FA-22K's with additional munitions and spare parts. Tecrojia is willing to put in USD $740,000,000.-- for the tanks and an extra USD $17,000,000.-- for ammunition and parts. In addition to that money, Tecrojia will transfer USD $1,500,000.-- for the safe and speedy transporation of all of the items to Tecrojia.

Total Offered: USD $758,500,000.--


Thank you.

(OOC: I seriously don't know what a good percentage would be, so I'm just throwing something out here. If it's too low/high, tell me.)

We propose the contract to include the following:

If Pwnica was to make any modifications to the FA-22K Tank, we will show you these modifications, but we would not be obliged to divulge the exact workings of them, etc.

If Pwnica was to sell the item with or without any modifications made to it, we would be obliged to send 7.5% of the revenue of the sale to Fracene.

We were thinking somewhere along the lines of 10-15%. Perhaps 12.5% would be more reasonable in between those two numbers seeing that it benefits us, yet it's low enough to keep the numbers below 1/6 of the money made on selling the tank. Do we have a deal?

Joseph Clemoux
International Representative
Larduct Motor Company

12.5% is agreeable.

So, how much money would you like in exchange for these rights?

I must say that I commend you on a job well done. The bloody machines get the job done, alright! The FA-22K is a splendid work of art. Now it's time to show terrorists not to bomb our buildings!


King James II
King of Lexustralany

12.5% is agreeable.

So, how much money would you like in exchange for these rights?



Keep in mind that the rights you are asking for do not give you sole rights to manufacturing the machines. If you are aware of this, the price is at USD $35,000,000.--

Any further questions and/or comments shall not be answered for a couple of hours. So, if you have any just post and you will be answered as soon as possible. Thank you.

I would like to purchase 50 of those tanks.

We understand this, and accept it. The money has been wired, with our thanks.

The FA-22K is still on the market! Nation with the most model 22's purchased will be awarded 10 brand new FA-29K Tanks. That's right! The new FA-29K has been proven worth of combat. The 29 is not available on the market, at the moment, but this is your chance to win 10 FREE model 29's.

If you do not wish to go for the prize, you can still purchase the FA-22K's at USD $15,950,000--.

Another tank that is way too big, way too fast, and way too cheap...*sigh*

FA-22K Tanks are short on supply, at the moment. There are only 300 22's remaining. If a nation should request more tanks than there are in stock, be warned that it will take time to fill the order. Thank you.

The nation of Sir Leo would like to buy the rest of the FA-22K Tanks.

Do you deliver?

We deliver every tank directly to the client nations, ourselves, to ensure the condition of each.

The nation of Sir Leo would like these tanks delivered to the nations main army base.

The order for 300 FA-22K Tanks has been confirmed. Each tank will be delivered to Sir Leo's Main Army Base. Thank you for purchasing the FA-22K.

With the depletion of the FA-22K, Fracene turns to the new FA-29K. Stats on the 29 will be posted soon. If any nation should wish to purchase any FA-22K's at the moment, keep in mind that they will take a while to construct and deliver.

The Celtic Clan Empire did put in a request for the new 29 tanks, 50 of them, we realise that they will take time to build and deliver but we also wish to know a price, to enter into the budgets.

The FG-22K is slightly larger than an M-1 yet it performs just as well, if not better than it. The M1 is equipped with a Earhardt BVT 3250 gas turbine engine. The Markson T-2100-6K transmission provides six forward and three reverse gears. The new engine is slightly smaller than the M1's engine and is lighter, with rapid acceleration, quieter running and no visible exhaust. The Markson T-2100-6K is a 3000 horsepower engine, allowing the tank to reach speeds of up to 70mph/112.654 kmph

OOC: You do realize that this tank must be so much larger than an M1, or even a Paladin Self Propelled Artillery system (155mm gun). 175mm gun? Are you insane? The United States Navy doesn't even employ a gun that big anymore on its ships!!!

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ground/images/m107-slant.jpg

The only 175mm weapon that I know of....

The Great Sixth Reich wishes to purchase domestic-only (no exports)production rights for the FA-22K tank, and the FA-29K tank when it comes available.

We will pay $60 B if you allow us produce the two tanks and the ammunition for domestic use only.

I dunno... The M1A1 still uses a larger round than the 54-Caliber (5 inch) guns used on ships today. The 155mm is about the size of a 6 inch and the 175 is just a larger 6 inch. So the cannon itself wouldn't be THAT big. It's not like the tank's hauling around a 15in gun.

So, when will we see the specifications for the 29's?

Bump

These are mighty impressive Tanks... Too bad they're sold out. Please let us know when they'll be back in stock. And please let us ALL know about the FA-29K's as soon as you can.

Yes yes... please do hurry to replenish the stock.

The thing is that the vast majority of tanks in the world use 120-125mm sized guns. Uprated power is acheived through other means, such as ElectroThermal Chemical propellants.

175 mm rounds must weigh around 66 kilograms. He claims that this tank is only slightly larger than an M1, yet it's main gun is more than 55% bigger than it. That is not even to mention the fact that it has two more additional 105 mm cannon which are only 12% smaller than the M1A2's...

The tank should have more weight in the rear or be heavier all together. Or maybe it should have an anchor in the front or something...

I want 20 of them equiped with anti-radar detector if it's possible. :sniper:

the Republic of Capatilissimo will buy 85 FA-22k tanks with all the gadgets which are available

20 with with anti-radar will be constructed, but it will take time for them to be built. We're currently understocked at 16 FA-22K's. Same goes for the 85 requested tanks...

Well?

For domestic manufacturing... granted.

12.5% of all profit made through the export of any FA-22K or Modification of the FA-22K will be withdrawn and sent to Fracene.

Understood, but I highly doubt I will ever need to export it.

The FA-29K is not on the market.

Interesting. When will they be available?

(OOC)dont feel to bad everyone from the south island is grumpy

(OOC)wows a FA-29K opposed to a FA-22k?
Ill buy some not sure what yet when they are back on market of course

(OOC: Actually I'll agree with South Islandia when saying that this thing, spec wise, is under weight, under sized, and overly fast. There's no way it's going to have two turrets, a 175mm cannon, dual 110mm guns, and a defense turret playing host to other mgs. Just the room for loader spots, ammo stores, and the gun mechanisms is going to increase the length and width of this thing.

Then again the idea of a 175mm cannon is also a bit off. Not only the size but I may not be correct but isn't there some sort of problem with accurate MBT cannons at 150 or 150mm? A problem involving the arching and the sort. I rememeber it being said somewhere...numerous times.

Course the speed. An engine twice as poweful as the Abrams yet somehow the max speed, 'governed, is 70 miles per hour. Considering this thing should not only be heavier and larger abrams, I doubt this thing actually could go the stated 70, if even the 40 which is maybe 5 to 9 less than the Abrams.

I find this tank to be a joke and a mockery to straight out say.)

im just really surprised at the coast the LAV GEN-3 dont they cost 600k or 1.3 mil cant remember monetary conversions help still like if they were 3 mil

In the words of Pink Floyd is there anybody in there?

The Exetonian Empire would like to purchase 200 of these to help insure that peace and prosperity remain triumphant in our realm, and others, as soon as more become available.
