Jäger MkVI Main Battle Tank
Now equipped with the WGW Electrothermal-Chemical G/180, the Jäger MkVI can fire two rounds in one burst at a higher velocity than normal ETC rounds. The unique dual blowback system allows for the first, armor-piercing round to be quickly followed, roughly .117 seconds later, by a heat round, in precisely the same area. This means that the enemy tank's armor will first be punctured and then the tank will be essentially roasted by the following heat round. This new, lethal feature is also lighter than the previous G/160 gun, and allows for more ammunition to be carried within the Jäger MkVI MBT. This means that the Jäger MkVI is essentially lighter, but more lethal than its predecessors. Also, the armor has been upgraded as well as the engine and other key components.

Very nice. Do you plan on ever putting these on sale?

Yes, matter of fact, a quick edit:
Sale is open but limited. Please post if you are interested, but it is not guaranteed that you will be allowed to purchase the tanks. Also, there is one of those handy-dandy copy proof self-destruction devices, so if you try to copy ANY part of the tank, or try to resell the tank, the consequences will result in the tank just blowing up in a large fire, for some reason. Everyone has it, so I might as well too. Also, I may grant manufacturing priviledges to a very lucky few, if they inquire, but besides that, I will only sell reasonable quantities of the tank.
