The Peoples Freedom needs a tank to replace its old M-121 Neon Tank.
It should be cost-effective. It will need to be able to destroy other advanced tanks, protect iteself aganist advanced tanks, and Finally to be effective aginst infantry.
You must be able to give us production rights.


( This is rather vague I know, but I want to see whats out there, and I'm open to anything... so shoot!)

Valens Res Publica Main Battle Tank // Crusader Weapons <--- Valens Res Publica Private Military Contractor
The Mammoth Tank

Maximum Range: 415 Miles
Weight: 54 TONS
Engine: Detroit Diesel 1500bhp
Armaments:


* 20mm Vulcan Machine gun a Skate Mount
* 130mm Smoothbore Gun
* Coaxially mounted M-134 minigun with a large armored cupola protecting the gunner.
* Mk-19 40mm automatic grenade launcher; also has a large armored cupola protecting the gunner.
* 2, 4 Tube, M220 launcher Missle System Modified for: TOW BGM-71, and other TOW Variants, Dragon, and or Javelin Missles.



Electronics: CW (TCMS) - NV, IR, redundant satellite imagery transceivers and processors, GPS transceivers, target prioritisation and acquisition software, Optical Surveillance System.

Comments: Due to the enourmous gas guzzling properties of the M1A1 Abrams Main Battle thank a new engine was in need, that being of a Detroit Diesel 1500bhp which produces nearly the same power if not the same with less fuel usage. Also, a 130mm smoothbore cannon; coaxially mounted XM-134 minigun with a large armored cupola protecting the gunner as well as a Mk-19 40mm automatic grenade launcher to provide far more firepower and pulverise nearby infantry. Also with the use of new alloys being Titanium-Fullerenes and Alumina-Oxide the weight of the previous behemoth M1A1 Abrams is SEVERELY reduced. By about a dozen tons; also it is armored much better. Also because of the weight reduction there is much more power per ton meaning the Mammoth tank can get better range per the same volume of fuel as well as have a higher top speed than the M1A1.
Top Speed: 76 MPH On propper surfaces.

Price: 8.5 Million Dollars

Armor: 4 Inches of Titanium 6/6/2 -Fullerenes, 3 Inches of Alumina-Oxide, and the rest of the tank has 2 inches of Chobam Armor.

The Armor upon this tank could even take a direct hit from a 420mm Gauss Gun firing a tungsten HEAT round fired at 300+ miles per hour in the back armor. The Titanium 6/6/2-Fullerenes makes a metal alloy which can stand a 18 freight train's moving at 600 mph imact per square centi-meter. Roughtly the size of ones fingernail.

Other Comments: We are not willing to give up prodiction rights unless you pay 15 billion up front for production rights.

OOC: Phhhhh there's no way you could get 76 mph on a main battle tank staying MT.OOC: You apparantly know nothing about the M1A1 Abrams main battle tank. It gets up to 60 or so Miles per hour on paved roads and my tank has a reduced the weight of the M1A1 by about a dozen or so tons. Meaning more HP per ton meaning faster top speed...

OOC: Funny. All my sources seem to say more around 42 mph. Anyway, it's not my tank, I'm not going to argue it. I've made my viewpoint known and if you don't accept it I'm not going to fight you about it.

Pythogria offers the XM-1.

Name: XM-1 Main Battle Tank

Hieght: 6 feet

Wieght: 82 tons

Length: 18 feet

Armament: For a primary weapon, the XM-1 uses a "Bolter" 120mm smoothbore ETC to fling shells at incredible velocities. For a secondary armament, it uses two .50 caliber coaxial machine guns, two .50 caliber machine guns on the roof, and two AT missile launchers for... long-range AT purposes, of course. The top machine guns each have an aerogel "bubble" over them, to protect against bullets, and the missiles can be reloaded from INSIDE the tank. All this uses third-generation autoloaders. It also has four Florernst turrets on top. These fire large bullets very fast at incoming missiles.

Armor: The XM-1 utilizes amorphous metal (metal wih no discernable pattern in atomic arrangement), to full effect, sandwiching it between two plates of ceramics, and covering it with triple-hardness steel. This allows it to withstand all but the toughest of attacks, but it is a bit heavy. The armor is sloped 80 degrees on the glaxis, 60 on the turret, 40 on the sides, but only 30 at the back. It's also 4 inches thick.

Sensors/Electronics: The XM-1 uses the Great Eye sensor sytstem (cameras, IR, etc.), and the VIOLA supercomputer for targeting, emergencyt intervention, and stuff like that. It utilizes a radar also.

Engine: The XM-1 uses a 3,000 horsepower engine capable of pulling it along roads at 40mph. It runs on either biodiesel, ethanol, or normal diesel.

Cost: $10 million per tank

OOC: Funny. All my sources seem to say more around 42 mph. Anyway, it's not my tank, I'm not going to argue it. I've made my viewpoint known and if you don't accept it I'm not going to fight you about it.OOC: On paved surfaces at top speed without any munitions and or excess crap? Thats the speed I think W/ shells the .50 on the top and the 20mm on the skate mount all with ammunition

Very Good, the Xm-1 Production rights?

Mondoth Arms Ltd. Offer you the state of the art Kodiak Main Battle Tank

Height; 3.2 meters
Length; 8.1 meters
Width; 3.6 meters
Armament; G-115 Gun mount (Fits from 75mm HV to 350mm engineering breacher, default weapon is 135mm High Velocity), coaxial mount (Default is 15.5mm MG), 6x 40mm single grenade deployers (smoke, chaff, flare, fragmentation), 1x ATGW mast (two tubes), 2x ATFFM(Anti Tank Fire and Forget Missile) tubes, OCSW mountable, 7mm ‘hatch’ MG, BUCKLER Active Defense system
Armor Scheme: The Kodiak is equipped with a revolutionary armor system, an aluminum alloy frame supporting a nano-carbon inner skin; additional layers are tungsten alloys, honeycomb carbon composites, a thixtropic layer that effectively reduces the threat posed by HESH rounds, and two layers of mono-crystalline Aluminum alloy plates.
Engine: Hydrogen Electric for high fuel availability (incorporated electrolyzer) and hydrogen ‘starter’ tanks), mobility and low heat signature (can use hybrid diesel electric)
Speed; 55 mph (road)
7.4 knots (swim)
Crew; 3 (Tank Commander, Driver, Gunner)
Price; 4,600,000
Deployment; The Kodiak is a heavy solution to mobile Armor, supplying powerful Anti tank and Infantry support options.
The Kodiak is a powerful Main Battle Tank capable of moving fast over a large number of rough terrains, surviving against powerful enemy weapons and retaliating quickly and accurately. The Kodiak utilizes revolutionary ‘drive by light’ fiber optic controls which give it unprecedented flexibility and ease of repair while minimizing problems caused by electronic or traditional mechanical controls. The Kodiak utilizes a state of the art Auto loader that stores all ammunition outside the crew compartments to minimize the dangers of accidental detonation of ammunition. The Bezzle mounted autoloader features blow out panels and an easy reloading design that minimizes time spent outside the tank. The three crew members sit in specially designed ‘cockpit’ like seats with all relevant controls placed within easy reach, this design minimizes space required for the crew and gives more space for the armor, giving this tank some of the heaviest armor for its class in the world. The multiple small hydrogen ‘stacks’ of the Hydrogen Fuel Cell Power plant are incorporated into the frame of the vehicle to increase armor protection and create a power plant redundancy, several of the stacks can be penetrated or otherwise destroyed and the vehicle can continue functioning, at least enough to exit the combat zone (if a hybrid diesel electric drive is used, the space saved from eliminating the electrolyzer, starter tanks and fuel cell stacks is used for the engine, in this configuration the engine is forward of the crew section to provide additional front protection) The BUCKLER active defense system uses four small metal storm grenade launchers wired to an all aspect millimeter wave radar mounted on the turret, this radar detects incoming threats such as enemy tank rounds and anti tank guided missiles, relaying the range, vector and speed to the appropriate grenade launcher this system allows the grenade launcher to fire a round into the path of enemy attacks, causing the weapon to either prematurely detonate or causing it to veer off course.

Thank you! we would like to purchase these fine tanks. As our thanks we will include a 2 billion dollar bonus!

Schematics Sent. Should you need anything else (HBTs, LBTs, IFVs...) you are more than welcome to come to us. 400 XM-1s are en route as a gift.

There is no way in hell you can manufacture a tank like that for only 4.20 milllion dollars and make a profit! That'd cost at least between 12 and 20 million dollars! Depleted Uranium is extremely expensive due to the costs for importing as it can't be found in nature already depleted and not only that if you did have it as armor you still risk Rad poisioning the crew and nuking the crew's matabolism and thier white blood cell count as well as raping thier bone marrow.

Would you kindly stop adressing me I do not respect your opinon and your arguments do not carry weight. None of what you said even resembles the truth and i wont waste time adressing it, please don't make me log all my puppets to ignore u one by one it will take me hours

ummmm, do you know anythign about tanks at all?
for one DU is basically a free by-product of enriching uranium for nuclear weapons and certain kinds of nuclear reactors, so if you make nukes then you basically have a plentiful source ont he cheap

also, DU is relatively Rad free because it is *Depleted*. so, while it can cause mild radiation poisoning if ingested (if you're ingesting DU then you have problems going beyond mere radiation poisoning anyway). The M1 Abrams MBT, as well as pretty much every other modern MBT uses DU becasue of its low price tag and its density (only Tungsten is denser while remianing relatively common and machineable)

4.2million is a pretty good price for a tank, the M1A2 is cheaper than 4.2 mil.
