Ever had problems exploiting an enemy weakness? Large tanks too slow to get there, while smaller tanks get blown up on the way? The Armenta medium tank is the answer to all of your problems.

Using the armor-building expertise of the Concordiat, the Armenta tank is one of the best exploitation tanks in the field.

Armament consists of a 128mm high-velocity K48 antitank gun, with a coaxial 5.562mm machine gun. The pintle-mounted 20mm Panzermenschen cannon can rip through helicopters or slow-moving aircraft with ease, in addition to supressing the best of infantry. The glacis plate is only disrupted by the 20mm bow machine cannon.

The armor is the important part. Quant reactive armor plates on top of four inches of rolled steel-nickel laminate, over one inch of "last ditch" depleted-uranium plating, the tank's frontal armor is virtually impenetrable. The side armor only has an inch shaved off of the nickel-steel, and the top and rear only have the reactive armor and the uranium. (RHA 1400mm, 1200mm, 500mm respectively)

The mobility is provided by a 1500-kilowatt 16-cylinder turbocharged diesel, and a seven-gear transmission (one reverse) makes the Armenta tank easy to control on the battlefield. In addition, the torsion-bar Christie suspension with carbon-boron fiber wheels make the tank very versatile on road or rock, with a 43mph top speed on roads and 38mph top speed cross-country.

Costs rarely exceed 20 million USD, and the tank is very versatile. Useful in all situations, the Armenta tank is the answer to all of your ground warfare questions.

Due to a lack of sales, production of the Armenta tank has been paused. The production will resume for the Auxiliary batallions of the Concordiat in an unspecified period of time.
