TYPE 42 MEDIUM TANK
(Info Taken from the NSwiki page)
The Type 42 Represents a new chapter in Willink army equipment. Moving away from the large, dominating designs to those that are more reliable, capable, and easy to build and maintain, whilist continuing the ability to defeat opposing equipment. From the Get-go, the Type 42 was not designed to obliverate any tank in existance. It was designed to be easy to operate, control, defeat enemies using like equipment, and for incredible reliablilty and durabilty. It can be used in all theatres easily; jungle, desert, hills, tundra, and artic. It's main gun is arguably the most capable 120mm ETC in existance,
Armament
The Type 42 is Equipped with the newly-designed G20/7 120mm ETC Tank gun, succeeding the L30A1 in service. The gun is made from ESR Steel with chromium alloy lining and Uranium reinforcements, and features a thermal sleeve. The Gun is also fitted with an muzzle reference system, a gyrostabiliser, and a Series of small vents to release heat buildup and fumes. It is reliable in different evironments and weather conditons, and is very easy to replace.
48 Rounds Are Carried, a Mix of APFSDS, SABOT, and DUAPFSDS. The Gun is entirely electric, and features an advance stabalization system. A 12.7mm Chain gun with HE rounds is fitted next to the Main gun, and can actually be used to shoot at Helicopters and slow flying planes on strafing runs. 1000 rounds of 12.7mm Ammunition are carried. An M60E3 Machine gun is mounted on the Commanders Cupola.
The digital fire control computer is a somewhat indiginous design, mixing together and updating features on such tanks as the Challenger 2, M1A2, and Leopard 2 for maximum capability and efficency.
The commander has a panoramic SAGEM VS 580-10 gyrostabilised sight, with Elevation ranging from +40° to -40°.
The driver is equipped with a Passive Driving Periscope for Night driving.
The Tank features the most advanced Autoloader designed by Military Designers YIRC, allowing for a very fast loading and firing time, all while increasing battlefield survivability.
Defense
To keep the tank durable, it features a simple yet powerful Armor system, making use of the New 3rd Generation Chobham armor, impregnated with Depleted Uranium and mixed with a Carbon-based metal for very strong protection. Fittings for ERA can be fitted if needed. The Armor is very capable, able to deter and defeat Grenade and RPG blasts, and also proves very effective against enemy ETC guns.
It features a full NBC protective system, along with a Lead-based lining in the turret interior to protect sensitive equippment, commonplace on Soviet Tanks. Also included are Gauss Coils fitted under the armor.
The Type 42 also has 6 Smoke dischargers fitted to the front of the turret. Following many T-Series tanks , the tank can also create a smoke screen by injecting diesel fuel into the exhaust manifolds.
A Series of small Non-explosive DU Blow-off plates are fitted to the bottom of the tank, to deter the blast from Anti-tank mines and IED's.
Drive System
Vistla Automotive Military spec V-Array Diesel Engine, 1,800hp.
Cornerstone INC epicyclical transmission.
Vistla Automotive Military spec Torsion Bar.
Sensors
To keep costs down, the Research and Developement department was put in charge of developing cost-effective Sensory equipment for operation on the vehicle. The main sensory equipment of the tank is it's Central operations CPU, which manages the majority of the equipment. It is fed through a small Antenna/Com tower (Visable in the picture, the Cylinder shaped green item on the turret roof) which includes the laser rangefinder, the TSO, and several other important operational equipment signals.
The TSO (Tank System Outboard) uses a high-powered laser to scramble the signals of Guided shells, missiles, and can be used to blind other tanks by mixing up their IR equipment. The Type 42 Features a Updated and enlarged version of the Targeting system mounted on the T-6A, utilizing multiple signals and on-the fly Projecting to prevent the aiming system from being blocked or otherwise disabled.
The Tank features a thermal Imaging System (TIS) with magnification of x12 narrow field of view and x5 wide field of view, nearly a fourth larger field of vision that that mounted on contemparary tanks.
Also Included is a Platform Battlefield Information System Application (PBISA, which utilizes a GPS based targeting, friendly recognition, and linking different units and commands together to allow for easier command of the battlefield.
A Bowman tactical digital communications system is also included.
The Tank utilizes a Passive Driving Periscope to allow for easy night driving, with hightened sense of the crews surroundings whilist driving at night.
Modifed versions of the tank are available upon request.
Price: 6.1 Million USD
