FA-29 Tank
Like the FA-22K, the FA-29K is equipped with steel encased depleted uranium armor. The 29 is also protected against NBC warfare (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) thanks to the depleted uranium armor. The FA-29K contains a Main Crew Cabin, Weapons Storage, an Ammunition Compartment, and enough rations to laset a crea up to 2 weeks. Each compartments is separated from one another by one or more armored bulkheads. Unlike most tanks, the 29 has a new feature. Rather than having a single main turret, the 29 has two. The lower turret, the main turret, is equipped with the standart 122 mm smooth bore cannon A620 and a 8.26 mm machine gun, F200. The upper turret acts as a rotating gun turret, allowing the gunner to not only shoot forward and side-to-side, but in nearly all directions. Like the M1-A1 and the FA-22K, the top panels of the FA-29K's have also been designed to move outwards if penetrated by a HEAT projectile.
The FA-29K is slightly smaller and performs just as well as the M1A1, and in some ways better. The 29 is equipped with a Earhardt BVG 2200 gas turbine engine. The Markson T-1200-7D transmission provides four forward and two reverse gears, like the M1's transmissions. The new engine is around the same size as the M1's engine. With rapid acceleration, quieter running and no 1800 horsepower engine, allowing the tank to reach speeds of up to 50 m.p.h. / 80.5 k.p.h.
