Phoenix Dynamix is pleased to announce the all new M-124 Tank Destroyer!
M-124 Tank Destroyer
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/grunt74/NS1/tankdestroyer.jpg
The M-124 is a lightly armored wheeled vehicle with heavy anti-tank armament. It uses technology inspired by the T-1 Scorpion, the Stryker, the MBT-70 and various self-propelled gun based tank destroyers. It's primary armament is a 140mm cannon, based on that of the T-1 Scorpion and can fire the same rounds and TOW-4 anti-tank missiles as the T-1. It can also fire special longer ranged rounds designed specifically for the tank destroyer.
The M-124 is designed for "shoot and scoot" operations and thus it is only lightly armored. It can travel in reverse at full speed, due to steerable rear wheels, and gyroscopically stabilized, self-rotating driver's compartment.
4x8 \ 8x4 \ 8x8 Drive system. The 4x8 drive system can be switched to what we call an 8x4 system. In the basic mode, the front 2 pairs of wheels drive the vehicle, but in the second mode, the rear four provide the driving force. This allows the vehicle to move quickly over roads and flat terrain in both forward and full reverse gears. For off-road and rough terrain, it can change to 8x8 all wheel drive. Unless all wheel drive is on, switching from forward to reverse will activate the rear wheels, and vice versa. Explosive reactive armor can be added (for increased protection but increased weight) and there is an NBC protected crew compartment.

Note: This is considered an RP thread. Members of ACTO and The Sovereign League, please do not post in this thread.

The Armed Republic of the Toori wishes to trade a shipment of 10 M-124 tanks for a shipment of 2500 cubic tons of Titanium Dicobalate, one of our strongest alloys that has radiation resistant values.

IC:

South Lizasauria would be interested in buying 4 M-124s. The money is ready to be wired. Anyway hows the Pancor Jackhammer project going with the SLFR?

Orders confirmed, if you are referring to the Gating shotgun it has been completed.

OOC: What did the SLFR promise in return again? :confused: I'm sorry it's been a long time.

IC:

SLFR Chairman: And we shall keep our end of the bargain.

Chairman: You have permission to profit off the chaingun shotgun and we shall ship anything you need anywhere you need it provided we have rails going there.

Very good.

Panzerwaffe HQ

The Army of Koenwitz's Panzerwaffe would like to order 35 M-124 Tank Destroyers. However, you do not mention if shipping is included in the price, as we would require you to ship these vehicles to Koenwitz.

The Greal Government would like to buy 1000 M-124 Tank Destroyers for 3 billion.

Minister of Defense Jason Park

Orders confirmed.

Delivery costs depends on how far Koenwitz is from our three main production and distribution facilities, and what countries it is near. With only 35, it will be nearly free(since it will be on a ship carrying other goods), except for fuel costs and port fees.
We are shipping the M-124 from
Falls Church, VA
Tampa, FL
and
San Diego, CA

I wnat one. Ill ride in that instead of a limo :)
Does it come with ammo, or do I have to make my own?
i can pay extra for ammo since my country can't make its own yet, Im not industrialized.

Three things.
1. Order confirmed.
2. Ammo not included but can be purchased separately
3. The M-124 is not very comfortable inside, but we could remove the turret and large gun, and put in a few luxury seats and a pair of defensive machine guns instead (for a small fee)

The Armed Republic of the Toori is preparing cargo transports to deliver the goods to the Phoenix Militia. We wish to have the coordinates of where you want us to drop off the goods.

I kinda wanted the big gun, it doesn't need to be as big maybe? Just somehting to the effect of dang I don,t want that pointed at me, lol. Also, we woudl like to purchase some ammo for it, how much does it cost? Two luxury seats would be nice. Its not goign to replace my Limo for diplomatic type things, just cool to drive around my city in parades or something.

Toori: You can send them to Norfolk, VA.

OOC: As far as I am concerned, for purposes of maintaining my MT status, your Titanium Dicobalate = good quality titanium in an amount of equal value.

We will reduce the gun to a standard 128mm tank cannon, and we can sell you a box of 100 rounds of standard high explosive shells for $50,000

ok, we'll take it. THank you for accomidating us.

If the vehicles could be shipped to us via the Tampa, FL facility to our main port at Elzstadt (map (http://uk.geocities.com/koenwitz/Elzstadtmap.gif)) this would probably be best. Please inform us of the final shipping cost.

OOC: *Slaps forehead for failing to notice the obvious.*

The extra charge is $800,000.
IC:

This will be paid in full by a method of your choosing. Docking charges at Elzstadt are 35,000 maychucks per day ($9,450 USD), which inccludes required refuelling and resupply. We look forward to testing these new vehicles.
