Jäger MkVII Main Battle Tank
Now equipped with the new G/140N(Neu) ETC main gun, the Jäger has become a machine of devastating power. Not only are the rounds of fairly large caliber, but also highly lethal in their design, as well as being fired at extreme velocities, never before seen in the Jäger series of tank. They have become so lethal, that infact, they have replaced the Dual-Burst 90mm cannons of the previous Jäger MkVI. Also, the Hydrogen Fuel Cell Engine, which was revolutionary in idea, was seen to have flaws as well as being hard to maintain and highly ineffecient, has been replaced with the new WMW Bio-Diesel Hybrid Model 500 Engine, which is both friendly in terms of hydrocarbon consumption as well as fuel effeciency. The armor has also been upgraded, as well as the electronic integration in the tanks Battle Control System.

Oops, bad typo, fixed it now though. Should've been 65.
