In the light of recent terrorist attacks, the refurbished T-55s were seen as horrifically outdated compared to other countries LBTs. So to address this, all T-55s and AVT-55s LBTs have now been decomissioned and will be sold in the Leafanistani Storefront to help fund the new LBTs being commissioned.
Hamster Light Battle Tank
Given the title LAVT-07, the Hamster LBT fills the role of bringing heavy firepower quickly to a location. A vital part of fast moving wars and urban warfare. Despite the cute name the Hamster is all but benevolent and adorable.
Instead of tracks the LAVT-07 is based on the BTR chassis, aerogel filled wheels help make this 8*8 LBT durable. The armour has been updated to that found on a LBT, using the newest in Leafanistani Tech. The Turret is the familiar 90mm ETC cannon. Externally 4 Dual AHGM and ATGM missiles are attached to provide it with missile capability and limited anti-air. A 14.5mm MG helps supplant its Anti-Helicoptor capability and a 7.92mm MG helps ward off infantry.
Specs:
Armour: 3 layers: ERA layer, 150mm Vanadium-Titanium Steel armour, 50mm Boronated Plastic with kevlar fibers.
Protection: Full NBC protection
Powerplant: 700 hp hybrid diesel-ethanol turbocharged engine
Top Speed: 120 km/h (75 mph)
Range: Without External Fuel: 500 km (310 miles), With External Fuel 700 km (435 miles)
Armament: 90mm ETC Main Cannon, 4 Silk AHGM/ATGM missiles (Anti-Helicoptor and Anti-Tank), 14.5 mm MG, 7.92mm MG
Autoloader
Laser Rangefinder, Infrared Searchlight
12 mortars with smoke grenades
Crew: 3 (gunner, commander, driver)
Maxell Light Gatling Tank
A product of Sierra Visions Inc.'s R&D department, the Maxell LGT puts a massive ROF on the same chassis as the Hamster. The Dual 50mm Exploding Rounds Gatling Cannons are usually seen on aircraft. It has a maximum rate of fire around 6,000 rpm, though for practical purposes a more reasonable 4,500 rpm is the average setting. It is used for urban surpression, anti-amphibious operations, piercing airplanes and helicoptors, devastating ground vehicles with anything less than LBT style armour, it will eventually punch through if given enough time. It can quickly clear out enemy positions, clear the skies, stop an marine advance on the beaches, mow down a forest sending deadly splinters into the air, or even cut down buildings with its enourmous rate of fire. A cavernous rear helps hold the enourmous amount of ammuntion needed.
Specs: Same as Hamster's
Armament: Dual 50mm Cannons, 9000 rounds stored internally per cannon, 14.5mm Anti-Helicoptor Gun, 7.92mm Anti-personnel gun
4 External Silk AHGM/ATGM
Crew: 3 (gunner, commander, driver)
Both of these have tracked versions for better offroad duty.
