Relevant Design Features:

Optics: Set of excellent, clear, and highly stable optics to guarantee hits at long distances. There is a option for crude gyroscopic stablization.

Gun: The big one. The gun is a long barreled, high velocity gun that can penetrate any tank's front glacis at over 2 km, given a proper line of sight.

Infrared spotlight: Useful for stealthy night operations where ambush is the key. This spotlight reveals things out to 800m. (Technical Reference @: http://www.achtungpanzer.com/ir.htm)

Side skirts: The side armor of the tank partially covers the tracks, making them less prone to being shot off by AAA tanks.

Grated exhaust pipes: The exhaust pipes have grates over them to prevent grenades from being thrown down the engine.

Torsion Bar Suspension: A torsion bar suspension set helps carry the weight of the tank and helps it to traverse rough terrain.

Forward mounted turret: The turret is mounted in the forward position to allow the gun more room to elevate and depress.

Overlapping Wheels: Overlapping wheels help improve offroad performance.

Compact Radio Set with Encyrption Machine: Just that.

Steel grates: Optional grates for defeating shaped charge shells

Snorkel: Optional snorkel for underwater travel.

Tungsten Cored Ammunition: The AD-100 can fire tungsten cored ammunition to really rip holes through tanks.

Transmission: The transmission has been tested thoroughly for reliabilty.
