Model: WGW Smoothbore G/50
Caliber: 130mm
Rate of Fire: 10-15 rounds per minute
Recoil Length: 290-350mm
Breech Type: Horizontal Sliding Breech
*Auto-loader incorperated into main cannon, thus the crew size of 3
*On the turret there are upto 16 smoke/heat grenades that effectively impair the vision of IR/Night/Regular sights

Statistics - Coaxial Machine Gun
Model: WGW MG-50
Caliber: .50 BMG
Rate of Fire: 800-900 rounds per minute
*Also considered AA Gun

Statistics - Armor
Model: WRW 'Gürteltier' Armor
Material Type: Composite
Armor Type: Adaptive Modular
RHA Armor Ratings - vs KE: Turret: 940-960mm Glacis: 640mm Lower front hull: 640mm
RHA Armor Ratings - vs CE: Turret: 1750-1980 Glacis: 770mm Lower front hull: 770mm

*Adaptive modular system allows for quick upgrading of tanks armor by removing the armor 'plates' and replacing them with the newer armor type

Other:
The tank has an incorperated fire-control system as well as various sights(IR, Nightvision, Regular, and etc.) for the driver and gunner, each . Also the tank as a built-in combat control system allowing the commander to effectively communicate via encrypted transmissions, instantly, to other tank commanders in a battlegroup. This allows for very effective and very rapid plan changes to adapt to changing enemy positions and the like. The tank itself has a fire-protection system, effectively eradicating the chance of the tank ever catching on fire and killing its crew. However, if the damage were to be severe enough to kill the crew, the tank does have an emergency self-destruct protocol. The self-destruct sequence takes no more than 30 seconds and if the crew were to be alive, they would have enough time to get out because of this. Another main component is the 'laser' turret on the main turret. The WGW Laser Defense Systems provides protection against modern laser-targetting systems. When a hostile force targets the Jäger MkIV, the laser turret calculates where the laser targetting is coming from. Then, after the enemy has been targetted, there is a 2 step process. The first step is to disable the laser-guided projectile by means of the tanks own laser turret. The next step is to disable the optics of the enemy's laser targetting system, thus rendering the system useless or causing eye injury to the enemy whom is targetting. The laser turret can also be used as a back-up means of communication, the specifics on how this works is classified. Other additions may be made to adapt to further battlefield requirements.

Prices: $6,600,000 ea. or $3,200,000,000 for manufacturing rights.

OOC: The laser turret, by all means, is not a god-mode, due to the fact that such a system already works on the Chinese T-98. Mine however, is more effecient, and quicker at targetting. Oh, and if you don't like the price, oh well. I will not sell for any lower, to prevent young nations to acquire such technology.

***UPDATE: Open to all customers! I just developed, yes, within a day, the Jager MkV, elsewhere, with all sorts of new goodies. The Jager MkV will not be released to the public until I find something new anyways***

OOC: Nice tank, but hydrogen is a useless fuel. It is far too volumous even when compressed. Also it would be nice if you provided RHA armour values.

Taken into account. I figured that Hydrogen is far more...well, efficient(according to many sources), because of its explosive reactions. Also, the armor part, I could include all the armor details, and I may, eventually

you say it have 4 crew but only 3 are listed

Fixed

Updated quite a bit and now for all to buy.

Oh it is, but it's also the least dense substance in existance.

Yea, true, but hey, I think it theoretically would work, like a hydrogen feul cell would in a car.

(OOC) $1,200,000 seems way too cheap for a modern battle tank to me.

I realize that, but if I made it 'realistic' nobody would buy in all truth. Ah well, acknowledge and changed

(OOC) If people like your tank, they won't worry about the price. After all, it's not real money, RPing is just an attempt to achieve some sort of realism (fantasy RP excluded, of course). Heck, I've dropped 4 million per light tank.

Well, now I've made it quite a beefy costing tank, around a realistic price.

Yes it would work, but your tank would have to be massive - a car doesnt carry a 5.5" gun and half a meter of steel plate.
