Next Generation Heavy[Main] Battle Tank[Afrikaan Umpire]
Tiatans Armour Corporation has released a new tank the Tank 1 - Prototype - 1- Alpha to compete with the undisputed armour king in Afrika, Manitoba Arms. Or in other words, the early version of the Tank 1 Competitor.
Manitoba Arms[MA] and Titans Armour[TA] both had two tanks to design and the current candidiates are the MA-T-1 [Rat Machine] and the TA-T-1 [Dalai Lama].
Shell Caliber and Gun:
MA supports the older 135MM/145MM Shell Type. A simple standardly large shell used to obliterate enemy targets but it needs an excessive load of energy to be accurate with the ETC cannon. Smoothbore.
TA supports the newer 125MM/145MM Shell Type. A smaller more advanced large shell used to penetrate enemy targets from miles away, it uses more than enough energy to move it so the shells have to be made from uranium for development purposes. And ETC cannon, smoothbore.
Armour Systems:
The Pwentar Armour is supported by MA.
Overview: Essentially made up of seven major components, depleted uranium, steel alloys, ceramics, armind fiber, carbon whiskers, aluminum alloys, titanium, thoose components makes this armour good for tanks, and armoured vehicles, alos it is a contender to the Hexra Armour, already in service.
Idea: The idea is to replace the aging Hexra armour, with a new, alloy and more material based armour. This time around we have more alloys, and alumnum alloys for strength, with titanium for fire proofing.
Use: Soon to be added in all AzK tanks to replace Hexra Armour, this armour will be wide spread, and will eplace all other armour varients, causing an upgrade of AzK technology.
Design: A steel casing, then a thick, mammoth depleted uranium shell, more steel mixed with carbon whiskers, then a ceramic honeycomb area, then more steel, again added carbon whiskers for more strength, alumnium alloys mixed with carbon whiskers, and titanium alloy covering, and finally, armind fiber to protect from spall from entering the crew compartment.
The Helinix Armour is supported by TA.
Helinix Armour
Overview: The Helinix Armour is used in tanks and armoured vehicles. It is made of major components such as: depleted uranium, steal alloys, aluninium alloys, and titanium alloys, threaded with toughly-woven carbon fibers and ceramics-comb plates, the final step is the spall protector made of armind fiber. The Helinix is also considered a major threat to the Pwentar Armour System.
Idea: The idea is to replace the aging Pwentar armour, with a new, more compositary armour. The armour is designed to have easily bolted on ERA attachments but can be removed for close infantry support.
Use: In armoured vehicles, not recommended for light armoured vehicles beause of its tremendous weight. The Helinix armour is used in the TA-T-1 Dalai Lama
Design: A steel casing, then a thick, mammoth depleted uranium shell, more steel mixed with carbon whiskers, then a ceramic-comb area, then more steel, again added carbon whiskers for more strength, alumnium alloys mixed with carbon whiskers, and titanium alloy covering, and finally, armind fiber to protect from spall from entering the crew compartment, as mentioned before. Also with ERA attachments.
Chassis:
MA is developing a modular wepaon platform, but development is held back, expected design is the W-1 King Elephante Chassis revamped.
TA is developing a new chassis based on a pressuer/torision supension and front engine chassis.
Side Weapon[s]:
MA is supporting the King Elephant Configuration, 25MM Co-Ax, Two 12.7MM Turrent mounted, Grenade/smoke launcher and the side-pod system.
TA is supporting the less tradional design, the T|T|1PA is already using, a 30MM Three Barrel Chain Gun CoAx, Two 12.7MM turrent mounted, smoke screen and grenade screen metal storm system[SSGSMSS], and the Two 8 Pods of Anti-Vehicle Projectile System[AVPS, Metal Storm Based] on the side-pod mount.
Computer System:
MA is sticking to the old and working gun by using the DataServ 1.2 and INTR|OS with integrated firewall, software and hardware wireless netowrk system, along with the standard computer aiming and sighting devices and filters.
TA has the Data Serv 2.1 and VC|OS to run the wireless netowrk that can connect to the new Government Infantry System[GIS] for close range support, it has two hardware firewalls, automatic patching and insecurity updates along with a software firewall. It includes the IMAGINE/G aiming devices and video filters with new auto levels and vision types. The new TELE telescopic system allows two people to indiviudally control the part of the turrent.
Engine:
MA is using the Gohern GE5-GJ4DOHT Gasoline, Diesel, Turbine Hybrid rated at 1,700 HP.
TA is using the Gohern GE6-GJ4DHT Gasoline, Diesel, Turbine Engine rated at 2,300 HP. But it is making plans to replace it with the AU Engines AUE-HGDE All fuel hybrid engine rated at 2,150 HP. If Titan Armour can secure a deal with a certain engine manufacture TA will use the new engine.
Protection[Other]:
MA is using the standard two-way air filitration device and radiation-asorbant materials.
TA is using a more advanced three-way air filtration device, with improved spall protects and rough edges protection, radiation asorbant materials and ERA smoothening[to prevent from getting akward angles in the armour].
Other[other]:
Both MA and TA made three versions of the tank to be made, an auto-loader, a manual loader, and a manual-loader export version.
