amw or ft?

OOC: what?

OOC: I'll assume magentic cannon means a Guass Cannon which magnetically accelerates a shell forward which if that is true then we shall consider buying these tanks.

a modern world, as in modern day tech, or future technology

We would like to purchase 20 of these tanks, however we would first like to start diplomatic relations with you in order to establish a lasting partnership.

Minister of Defense
Lieutenant General Scott Wilson
&
Minister of International Affairs,
Major John Byrant

OOC: The magnetic C4 gun is a 2lb brick of C4, with metal strips around it. the metal strips allow the C4 to be fired like a rail gun, which means no recoil.

IC:Very well Doweir, should we sent diplomats first or will you initaiate the diplomacy?

Emperor James II
The Empire of North Mack

We would like to exchange ambassadors with your great nation, allowing us to open up dialog regarding arms purchases and other trade agreements.

Please accept ambassador Jeff Lawton and his delegation.

We will house Jeff Lawton and his delegation in our Capitol, Karaki. We will send Thomas Keen and his delegation. Please, protect him well, as we are currently at war. Our enemies may attempt to assasinate Thomas in an effort to undermine our political ties.

Not to worry, Mr. Keen will be protected by our SDF (Special Doweir Forces) who guard our new embassy compound 24/7. We have noticed your war with Kyp78952 and while we don't know the background of it, we realize that sometimes there is no alternative. We wish you a quick victory.

OOC: in response to Myrodor, its modern day tech. no one had done it yet, but it is all modern day tech (except for the AI of course)

OOC: Ok, I have a couple of points of critisim:
1: Whats the muzzule velocity of the main gun, and 2 inches is only a little over 50mm, and unless you have a C4 shaped as a shell it's not gonna penerate any armor, C4s are built to have cuncussive blast not to pentrate armor, and how would you power the magnetic gun? It would drain all the power in the tank.

2: Titanium is pretty easy to penetrate for standard tank guns, even a 105mm could blast that baby apart, and your not gonna have that same thickness of armor all the way around the tank.

3: How in all of hell are you gonna be able to get 2 jet engines in a tank??? That would make the tank huge, it would have to have big air intakes which would make it suseptable to even 7.62mm bullets, same with the thruster, and you won't have great turning radius, and also jet engines are gas guzzlers, you wouldn't have enough space too have enough fuel to get over 100 miles with out refueling alot.

4: An AI system smart enough to target and destroy enemy tanks would be way to big to fit in a tank. Same with a self loading turret.

5:The stats you listed are not enough you need; Max speed (Both road and cross country), max range, max weapon range, length, height, width.

So, I've made my opinion, this tank was created with a good purpose, but lacks in detail, maybe give it more detail and you'll get more sales.
