Combat Systems
Weapons:
125MM ETC
20MM Multipurpose Cannon, Hull Mounted
12.7MM Air Defense MG
12.7MM Coaxial MG

The QNLC-82 armament includes one 125mm ETC, stabilised in two axes and fitted with a thermal sleeve. The gun tube can be replaced without dismantling inside the turret. The gun can fire a variety of ammunition including
APDS (Armour Piercing Discarding Sabot),
HEAT (High Explosive Anti-Tank),
HE-FRAG (High Explosive Fragmentation)
as well as shrapnel projectiles with time fuses.
The Main Cannon is equipped with a 4A2M WORKER Class Autoloader, capable of putting out a round every 11.2 seconds with undeterring accuracy.
The QNLC-82 gun can also fire the AT 22 PARTISAN anti-tank guided missile system. The range of the missile is 100m to 4,500m and takes 11.2 seconds to reach maximum range. The system is intended to engage tanks fitted with ERA (Explosive Reactive Armour) as well as low-flying air targets such as helicopters, at a range of up to 5km. The missile system fires either the NM44 missile which have semi-automatic laser beamriding guidance and a hollow charge warhead. Missile weight is 24.1kg. The guns automatic loader will feed both ordnance and missiles.

The QNLC-82 has the 1A6HT integrated fire control system (IFCS) which is automatic but with manual override for the commander. The IFCS contains the gunner's 1A43 day fire control system, gunner's TO1-KO1 thermal imaging sight which has a target identification range of 1.2km to 1.5km and commander's PNK-S sight.

The gunner's 1A43 day FCS comprises: 1G46 day sight/rangefinder with missile guidance channel, 2E42-4 armament stabiliser, 1V528 ballistic computer and DVE-BS wind gauge.

The commander's PNK-4S sight includes a TKN-4S (Agat-S) day/night sight which has identification ranges of 800m (day) and 700m (night).

The driver is equipped with a TVN-5 infrared night viewer.

The 20MM DESTROYER cannon is a multipurpose cannon capable of shooting;

Normal Rounds : AP
Tracer Rounds : AP
APDS Rounds : AT
Depleted Uranium Rounds : AT
Slugs [Big metal cartridges instead of gunpowder cartridges]: AT

It can also be converted into a Flamethrower - but not any flamethrower. A Magnesium-Based Flame-Thrower, or, MagBaFT. The MagBaFT has been several years in production and it is ensured to be fully safe by Hogsweatian Scientists. [OOC: And since when have my scientists been right? : P] The Flame Box is covered in RHA and ERA armour and is located furthest away possible from any of the three crew.
Also fitted is a coaxial 12.7 MG and a 12.7mm air defence machine gun. four 7.62mm D055/44's are carried on a storage rack.

The AT-22 PARTISAN laser-guided ATGM, which can penetrate 700-mm of RHAe out to 4000 meters, gives the QNLC-82 the ability to engage other MBTs, vehicle ATGMs, and even most helicopters before they can engage the QNLC-82.

Armour Systems
Armour Overview:
Front: 640MM RHA
Sides: 440MM RHA
Back: 200MM RHA
Top: 180MM RHA
Tanktracks:100MM RHA

The QNLC-82 has two layers of armour. The first, mentioned above, is RHA, Rolled Homogenous Armour. The second, as shown below, is ERA. Explosive Reactive Armour. This is replacable, whereas the main armour is only repairable.
Front:80MM ERA
Sides: 64MM ERA
Back: 40MM ERA
Tanktracks: 40MM ERA
Top: None

Some assault regiments prefer to add armour plating to their tanks - this is optional.
The QNLC-82 tank is protected by both conventional armour-plating and explosive reactive armour (ERA).

The QNLC-82 is fitted with the Shtora-2 defensive aids suite which is produced by Westenov Munitions of Hogsweat. This system includes infrared jammer, laser warning system with four laser warning receivers, grenade discharging system which produces an aerosol screen and a computerised control system. It is also fitted with NBC (nuclear, biological and chemical) protection equipment.

Propulsion and Engine
The QNLC-82 has a liquid-cooled V-84MS 618kW (840 hp) four-stroke V-12 piston engine. This engine can be fuelled by T-2 or TS-1 kerosene and A-72 benzine, in addition to diesel. The tank can carry up to 1,600 litres of fuel in the main fuel tanks and fuel drums. The fuel tanks are reinforced with armour plating.

The tank is provided with a snorkel for deep fording and can ford 5m of water with equipment which can be deployed in 20 minutes.

The mechanical transmission includes primary reduction gear, two planetary final gearboxes and two planetary final drives. The running gear features torsion bar suspension with hydraulic shock absorbers at one, two and six road wheel stations and tracks with rubber-metallic pin hinges.

I wish to purchase 10,000 of these excellent tanks for $45,000,000,000. Money will be wired upon confirmation. Thanks!

OOC:How does the autoloader manage to put out rounds that quickly?

OOC: Hogsweat you should know... 700mm penetration is crap for a tank-mounted ATGM. Try the Kornet-E instead (1000-1200)

edit: Also, that thing is going to be excessively vulnerable to Bio/Chem weapons. There's no filters, the hatch isn't sealed, etc.

Sure, that would be fine.

I did mention it was NBC protected. I would assume that they would all fall under NBC protected. Also, I don't strive for top-of-the-line technology. 700 will do fine :) Although I will take your advice for the next tank I do. Thanks for your comments.

Sure, that would be fine.
Excellent. We will begin production of goods immediately. Your traders will have to visit the city of Horonezh to pick up the tanks at the end of each new month.

I hereby give Roach Busters permission to reproduce the ammunition, and solely the ammunition, for this Armoured Vehicle.

I would like 300 of these fine tanks for (if my celculations are correct)
1,350,000,000 USD. Thankyou money will be wired upon comfirmation.

As you are a new nation, we ask what will you be using these tanks for?

We would open a contract lasting six months, wereby our traders will deliver 50 of the tanks per month to your nation. You will pay a lump sum of 1,350,000,000 USD. Do you agree to this contract? You will receive permission to produce ammunition.

Chellis wonders what advantages this tank has over, say, a LeClerc? Noting, of course, the LeClerc can fire tube mounted ATGM's...

OOC: Good job on the MBT, this looks like a nice tank with no wanking on it but I think I'll stick with my ARSB uber-tanks!

And Chellis, Crammit, you don't need "OMG! TEH POWER TANKZ" for good RP, I only use ARSB tanks because I do use ARSB equipment, ARSB is the largest importer of weaponry to Kriegorgrad and is therefore a very valued partner, we'd use their tanks because it helps both of us.

EDIT: This is Kriegorgrad but in his FT puppet form.

Not bad at all. A nice solid modern-tech tank.

OOC: I am contracted to help Hogsweat design the new HMBT for the Hogsweat Military...Uhm, yep.

Whats your point? I was simply wondering. I did just notice the price tag, so thats a good point.

Thanks for your comments Zakia and Axis Nova!

OOC: Wouldnt a conventional 155mm gun have an extremely low muzzel velocity? And hence be really bad at anti-tank work?

Noting, of course, the QNLC-82 can fire tube mounted ATGMs...

Thanks for your comments Zakia and Axis Nova!

OOC: What I meant by that was, I assumed you might say that this tank could, and tanks like the LeClerc could not.

Oh right. Sorry.

Possibly Praetonia, but that's what the missiles and depleted uranium are for, as a backup weapon.

Ok... so then why does it have a gun?

OOC: I think the 155mm gun is used so he doesn't need to convert ammunition plants that are currently pumping out stuff for his current tank units (T-72s and T-80s).

Personally, I always wondered why ANYONE bothered using those old, crappy Cold War-era weapons in this day and age.

That doesnt make sense... surely it's the changing ammo size that WILL make him convert plants.

'coz it's cooler with a gun, and it's more multipurpose.. the gun is it's main weapon. Tyrandis: Because maybe, I am not familiar with all this new technology and I just prefer to use plain old stuff like this?

But 155mm is artillery!

For AT it would be much better to use a 135mm ETC or thereabouts.

125mm ETC it is.

bump!

I would like to purchase 100 '82s for testing purposes, we expect a speady delivery.

General Kollrossrn.

We would like to purchase one to place in the Halladi Military Antiquities Museum.

The Commissariat of War
The Workers' State of Hallad

AfrikaZKorps: our traders will deliver the amount in the following three months.

Hallad: it is being flown in to your as we speak.

Do you think you could set a price for the blueprints?

The Blueprints and Production Rights for the QNLC-82 are not for sale, with the exception of our allies.

Mmm. Crap.

Give us 500. Money will be wired upon confirmation.

We can produce 50 a month for ten months; when the first batch arrives in your nation we wish to be paid in one lump sum.
