What numbers are you looking for in terms of purchasing MBTs and APCs, also what, if any special features are you looking for.

Well the main target is the specs, but basicly we will buy untill the Armor Bugeat is empty (about 15 Billion) and we would like it if all the armor had AA guns

Ah, we are able to provide specifications to both MBTs and APCs that would be capable of fufilling your requests.
Specification shall be detailed shortly.

We have a SPW for sale that you may be interested in:

NPM-A SPW-05 E Armored Assault Gun (Export Model)

Program:

The SPW-05 is intended as an infantry support weapon, to replace the ageing PT-76 Light Tank currently in service.

Generally seen in a support role, it is intended to provide short-range artillery support and anti-tank fire for whatever infantry it is attached to, as well as give its attached battalion an amphibious vehicle with at least the firepower of the PT-76. It is also highly capable of providing transport for any number of infantry who can fit on its flat hull.

Design:

Laid out in the same basic format as the PT-76, this vehicle has a driver compartment located alongside the diesel motor at the front of the vehicle. Mounted directly behind the driver is the main gun, set in a squat position, far back in the vehicle, protruding over the driver’s head. Also behind the driver is the commander/gunner’s compartment, complete with traditional soviet auto-loader and open ammunition/fuel compartment.

Armament:

The main gun, with a 7.5 cm bore, is actually an adoption of the traditional 75mm artillery tube used by Novikov’s military. It is well capable of firing traditional, low-velocity artillery shells, as well as it’s more common armament, the high-velocity/high-penetration 75mm anti-tank shells (HV/HP AT) designed to knock out tanks with armoring comparable to the modern T-80 soviet medium tank.

The main gun is not fully stabilized, rather being in almost a rigid mount to the vehicle frame. This prevents it from firing accurately while moving, but there is no firing inhibitor. Thus, it can still engage with reasonable precision at short distances, even while in a full run.

This weapon is targeted using a modern laser-range finding system, as well as a basic ballistics computer, digitally connected to the typical thermal barrel sleeve. This gives it pinpoint accuracy at up to two kilometers downrange in ideal conditions. It is, however, missing some of the more advanced systems like those measuring wind speed and barometric pressure. An onboard GPS system also allows infantry to digitally map targets for beyond-vision engagements while the gun is serving as artillery.

A wide visual range is achieved via a pair of periscopes, as well as a similar pair of IR equipped panoramic sights, one for both driver and gunner. This allows the gunner to independently engage targets while the commander operates the secondary weapon, and allows full targeting options even if one sight is disabled.

Secondary weapons consist simply of a 12.7mm machinegun mounted alongside the main gun. Firing is controlled by the vehicle commander, who engages out his traditional panoramic sight. Because this was intended to operate alongside groups of SA-7 equipped infantry, it has no air-defense weapons.

Protection:

The hull is of a typical hardened steel construction with 3mm composite overlays. A sloped front and sides attempt to provide increased deflection of incoming shells (with mixed results), and a steel skirt can be applied to protect the otherwise vulnerable tracks. Its armour, however, is a mere 25mm thick in most places, giving it only marginal defense against small-caliber weapons. (average of 120mm RHA [KE] / 200mm RHA [CE])

Because of this, the SPW-05 is not intended to stand up to hostile tanks and its best defense is simply not to be seen, as its armor cannot stand up to the main weapon on any modern medium or heavy tanks.

If it is spotted, its last defense is in the form of a modified JD-3 integrated laser rangefinder/warning/self-defense device. Just like that on the Type-03 Main Battle Tank, the JD-3 detects incoming laser beams (presumably from a hostile tank’s rangefinder) and fires a parallel beam back at the source with the hope of blinding the computer targeting system on the enemy tank. The SPW-05’s version of this system, however, features a varied-intensity beam, rather than the simpler standard-intensity beam mounted on the Type-03. Export models, however, are without this feature, and carry a reduced-power point-laser system, estimated at 30% effectiveness of the JD-3. The varied-intensity was chose because it forces the enemy computer system to make rapid re-calculations, simulating a rapid change in its target range. This serves to hinder targeting ability by almost 60%, giving the SPW-05 a reasonable chance of survival, even if detected and engaged by a superior main gun.

Propulsion:

The Type-03 is powered by an air cooled, turbocharged 800 hp diesel derived from a compacted version of Germany’s WD396 diesel technology.

Sorry Novikov We are only intrested in legal Armor


Theao: Can we get the production rights to the Weki O9V MBT and Voxal APC?
Novikov
18-05-2005, 05:04
The SPW is legal, I just mentioned, as I figured you may have questions regarding the Type 03 MBT, that it was pulled from the export market and cannot be legally sold to foreign nations under contractual obligations. If you want the SPW, however, it is still on the market.
Theao
18-05-2005, 05:05
Production rights for the Weki O9V MBT and Voxal APC comes to a total of 500 million dollars(USD)

ok hmmm... how much is the rights to manufacture the tank?

I've only given those rights to my closest Allies - The Macabees and DL. I'm not about to sell them to anyone else, and if I did, the would run at over 4.500.000.000 USD, with the same restrictions as those on the SPW.
