They're a little...light. And crap. I doubt that a 75mm gun couldn't penetrate the challenger II's Chobham armour..now compare that to some of the stuff on NS and these tanks are going to have a very hard time competing. EDIT: Oh, and they're also very slow.

Braxis VI would like to place an order for one (1) Legionaire C-90 howitzer to be placed in our foreign war museum. We will pick the tank up ourselves with inter-planetary transport if a landing zone of 8 Metres by 15 Metres is cleared for landing and loading. Before we complete the transaction we would like a price for the C-90.

Thankyou in advance,
June Peacelove - Trade secretary.

Braxis VI
30-07-2005, 13:19
Braxis VI Will buy one C-90 Howitzer in that case, if you would be as so kind to empty the fuel stores before transport we would be very grateful. A shuttle ship will be send over straight away for pickup and will arrive in approximately 2 days. We would also request a reciept to be tent by temegram just for our records, stating the item name and price due.

Thankyou in advance,
June Peacelove - Trade secretary.

Mmh, the tanks are slow and dont seem to be too heavily armed, but we're making this purchase to be placed in our historical foreign war museum. It's nice to be able to have an unusal attack vehicle on display for visitors to come and see.

In Reply: these are not weapons of war!
Rather, defensive auto mobiles!
Drive them to work ect.
PRACTICAL DEFENSIVE USAGE!

FOR PEOPLE IN POWER!!!!

Oh, fair one. I don't see the practicality of driving around in one, but, it's your country I guess. (whoever thought I would say that :rolleyes: )

Howitzer Siege vehicles are not defensive.

You are a dictator in a country filled with rioting ghettos...
Suddenly your car is stopped by angry protesters...
They Want blood!
Your Limosine in flooded a your are Kiddnapped/killed/worse

Now say you get mobbed in one of these...

I'd like to see some angry protesters stop 40 rounds of lead...
WOULDN'T YOU?

The Centurion X-50 with 37mm gun ... like the old German Panzers.
I wouldn't try to use it against any modern tank, 37mm will bounce off.

I wouldn't try to use it against any WWII tank either, its less effective than those automatic tennis ball lobbing machines you get in tennis places

I'd just like to say that my new ARs and MGs can pierce these things. Also these tanks are more like thinly armoured cars with guns on them. Something out of those apocalypic future movies. Usually I find some sort of counter, but seeing as a grenade or even a pinprick will damage these, I don't think my troops will be worrying any time soon. Though a great economy option for self-propelled artillery. A bit on the very cheap side.

They're cheap because i Rp-ed my way into some titanium like resouce
