The primary armor-defeating ammunition of this weapon is the armor-piercing, fin-stabilized, discarding sabot (APDS-FS) round, which features a depleted uranium penetrators. Depleted uranium has density two and a half times greater than steel and provides high penetration characteristics. Several other types of ammunition are available as well. It is reliable, deadly accurate and has a "hit/kill ratio" that equals or surpasses any main battle tank armament in the world.
The Commander and Gunner are seated on the right side of the turret. The Loader is seated on the left side of the turret, and the Driver is seated at the center front of the hull.
The turret is fitted with two six-barreled M250 smoke grenade launchers, one on each side of the main gun. The standard smoke grenade contains a phosphors compound that masks thermal signature of the vehicle to the enemy. A smoke screen can also be laid by an engine operated system.
The stowage for the main armament ammunition is in armored ammunition boxes behind sliding armor doors. Armor bulkheads separate the crew compartment from the fuel tanks. The tank is equipped with an automatic Halon fire extinguishing system. This system automatically activates within 2 milliseconds of either a flash or a fire within the various compartments of the vehicle. The top panels of the tank are designed to blow outwards in the event of penetration by a HEAT projectile.

No machine on the battlefield inspires as much awe as the A-2 Leviathan. It weighs almost twice the ammount of the A-1 Annex, and this tracked beast towers above nearly every ground unit, a factor that often acts more as a deterrent to war rather than an invitation. Employing 2 enormous 200mm cannons supported by two large guidance rails, the A-2 shrugs off all but the mightiest assaults and delivers sustained onslaughts against both fortified and unarmored enemy forces. The Huge 200mm Ammunition are loaded into the Cannon via a unique hydrolic pully system, and are guided along by the two loaders. The only apparent drawback to the Leviathan design is its lack of speed, which allows infrequent overunning by opponents of significant numbers. This limitation aside, The Leviathan is a monster among monsters. The stowage for the main armament ammunition is in armored ammunition boxes behind sliding armor doors. Armor bulkheads separate the crew compartment from the fuel tanks. The tank is equipped with an automatic Halon fire extinguishing system. This system automatically activates within 2 milliseconds of either a flash or a fire within the various compartments of the vehicle. The top panels of the tank are designed to blow outwards in the event of penetration by a HEAT projectile.
Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) warfare protection is provided by an overpressure clean-air conditioning air system, a radiological warning system, and a chemical agent detector. The crew are individually equipped with protective suits and masks. Its unusually wide catapillar tracks give it a stable surface to roll over softer ground, while the 4-pod system allows the Leviathan to roll over larger obsticles one pod at a time, leaving the Majority of the tank in the same possition during the climb (think Big Offroad truck going over a large rock with one tire).

The A-2 MkIII is based upon a tank manufactured by Maxwell Munitions Industries Land Systems (MMILS), run by the Commonwealth of Non Aligned States. This tank design has seen several major refits to its design and is now being approved for sale to the international market.
The light weight version of the ever popular A-2 Leviathan, it has all the bonuses of the MkII, and this armored vehicle is a technological marvel with its twin Strider hydrogen gas engines capable of generating enough power to move this 94 ton titanium alloy hulk at speeds comparable to most modern day MBTs. With its newly refitted electronic command and control system, the MkIII only requires a crew of 3 in order to function at its optimum level. An NBC overpressure protection system enables the tank to operate in a wide variety of theatres.
The primary armament of the MkIII is its double barreled 155mm MT-LGC, considered to be an efficient and accurate weapons system. However, these can be replaced with 100mm Rail Guns if need be. The barrel is configurable for multiple settings with extended recoil absorbers and specially designed Tak-2 coils that give the gunner unprecedented control over the gun. Additionally, the MT-LGC has been integrated into the MkIII with a maximum elevation of 60 degrees, giving it limited capability as a short range mobile artillery platform for indirect fire. The weapon is capable of firing a variety of rounds including HEAT, SABOT and STAFF. The Welby-Simms ShellLoader 2000x removes the need for a loader and is able to feed the gun at maximum speed without any jamming risk whatsoever.
Bolstering its firepower is the Hurricane Air Defense Anti-Tank Missile Pod which is mounted on either side of the turret. The Hammerhead missiles fired by the pod carry a 25lb high explosive warhead and are capable of engaging both aerial and ground light armor targets.
Rounding out the arsenal of the MkIII is the commander’s gun which is a twin M61 Gatling gun mounted on a Fast Track Turret system and utilizes a separate powered traverse. The M61 20mm Vulcan is an externally powered, six-barrel, rotary-fire gun having a rate of fire of up to 7200 spm. The firing rate is selectible at 4,000 spm or 6,000 spm. The gun fires standard electrically primed 20mm ammunition. The M61 is hydraulically or ram-air driven, electrically controlled, and uses a linkless ammunition feed system. To improve its anti-air capabilities, the gun is slaved to the turret mounted SRAD Air Defense Radar, acquiring and tracking targets up to several kilometers away including missiles.
The armor of the MkIII consists of 3 separate layers. The outer layer is a thin light alloy designed as reactive armor and will blow outwards when hit, thereby reducing the threat of damage from HEAT rounds. The second layer consists of reinforced ceramic plates which is placed on top of the honey combed B-25 titanium shockplates giving the MkIII unprecedented defensive capabilities and is capable of withstanding several direct hits from a 155mm cannon before suffering an armor breach.

The need for light weight rapid response armor has finally caught up with Dark Angel. Moving away from their heavy line of tanks, they have succsesfully produced this wonderful vehicle. capable of reaching speeds of 50+ mph, the Talon is just about as quick and light as they come. Not aptly suited for open field battle with other tanks, the Talon is more at home in a urban warfare enviroment, using quick strikes and then moving back under cover. Their Cheap price and light weight makes them ideal for ammassing large armies fast, and moveing them even faster.

The S-1 is a mechanized armored vehicle which provides large area multispectral obscurant screening for maneuvering forces. The S-1 Smoke Generator System is composed of M56 smoke generator components. Additional systems, such as the AN/VAS-5 Driver's Vision Enhancer (DVE), the M8A3 Gas Particulate Filter Unit (GPFU), M259 Smoke Grenade Launchers, and a Single Channel Ground-Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) have been designed into the S-1 to support its mission. To enhance the mobility and maneuverability of the S-1, the Reliability Improvement of Selected Equipment (RISE) configuration package, which includes a 300 HP turbocharged 6V53T Detroit Diesel engine coupled to a 4-speed hydrostatic transmission, external fuel tanks, and a new driver's station has been incorporated. These chassis improvements provide the S-1 the capability to keep pace with the A-1 Annex and A-3 Talon units that it will support. Without refueling or resupplying obscurant material, the S-1 is capable of continuously producing 90 minutes of visual and 30 minutes of Infrared (IR) screens. Future planned materiel changes will allow the addition of a Millimeter Wave (MMW) obscuration module. The S-1, operated by a three-man crew, has the capability to counter the threat arising from the wide proliferation of advanced visual and IR sensors and future MMW sensors.

Moving away from their heavy line of tanks, they have succsesfully produced this wonderful vehicle. capable of reaching speeds of 50+ mph, the Talon is just about as quick and light as they come. Not aptly suited for open field battle with other tanks, the Talon is more at home in a urban warfare enviroment, using quick strikes and then moving back under cover. Their Cheap price and light weight makes them ideal for ammassing large armies fast, and moveing them even faster.

The S-1 is a mechanized armored vehicle which provides large area multispectral obscurant screening for maneuvering forces. The S-1 Smoke Generator System is composed of M56 smoke generator components. Additional systems, such as the AN/VAS-5 Driver's Vision Enhancer (DVE), the M8A3 Gas Particulate Filter Unit (GPFU), M259 Smoke Grenade Launchers, and a Single Channel Ground-Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) have been designed into the S-1 to support its mission. To enhance the mobility and maneuverability of the S-1, the Reliability Improvement of Selected Equipment (RISE) configuration package, which includes a 300 HP turbocharged 6V53T Detroit Diesel engine coupled to a 4-speed hydrostatic transmission, external fuel tanks, and a new driver's station has been incorporated. These chassis improvements provide the S-1 the capability to keep pace with the A-1 Annex and A-3 Talon units that it will support. Without refueling or resupplying obscurant material, the S-1 is capable of continuously producing 90 minutes of visual and 30 minutes of Infrared (IR) screens. Future planned materiel changes will allow the addition of a Millimeter Wave (MMW) obscuration module. The S-1, operated by a three-man crew, has the capability to counter the threat arising from the wide proliferation of advanced visual and IR sensors and future MMW sensors.

The Mobile Multiple Rocket Air Defence System (MMRADS) provides Armies with an all-weather, indirect, area fire weapon system to strike counterfire, air defense, armored formations, and other high-payoff targets at all depths of the tactical battlefield. Primary missions of MMRADS include the suppression, neutralization and destruction of threat fire support and forward area air defense targets.
The Mobile Multiple Rocket Air Defence System is a versatile weapon system that supplements traditional cannon artillery fires by delivering large volumes of firepower in a short time against critical, time-sensitive targets. These targets often include enemy artillery, air defense systems, mechanized units, and personnel. MMRADS units can use their system's "shoot and scoot" capability to survive while providing fire support for attacking manuever elements.
