Akaton

Yet again, the factories of Akaton Imperial Armaments have produced a new vehicle. We are proud to announce the Devastator Class Mobile Fortress. This tank is the ultimate urban warfare vehicle.
This tank has weaponry pointing in every direction, making nearly impossible to ambush. With three cannons and ten machineguns, this vehicle can outgun almost any vehicle currently produced. The secret to its heavy armament is the lack of a rotating turret, freeing up space for multiple auto-loader mechanisms. While a turret is useful in an open battlefield, it serves little purpose in urban combat where enemy vehicles are forced into narrow streets. The cannons are in heavily armored bunker-like mounts, allowing them a 45 degree firing arc.
These tanks work best in groups of three. One tank moves slightly ahead of the other two, which prevent enemy troops from flanking the tanks and attacking their more vulnerable rear armor.
