The Chancellory of Defense released the specifications of its newest tank, the Imperial Mk. II. The differences are noticed immediately due to the fact that is taller, wider, and shorter. When asked why the change, the reply was "We want a tank that can still have a low profile, but still be comfortable. The crews said that it was too tight inside, so we provided. We also gave it the standard 120mm smoothbore that most nations use so it can be compatible with other allied tanks. Also, it uses the tactic of hit and run, so we can destroy the enemy before it notices we are there. We are also thinking of building a Merkava esque battle tank, but we don't know if we will follow with that." When asked why an export version isn't available, the Chancellory of Defense said "We don't want our enemies to use this baby" We of RINN hopes that the Imperial Mk. II can be used to its fullest potential. Meanwhile...
