To Wrap It All Up: Finally there comes the thank yous and summary. The TM-3 is made up of a mix from the Chalenger 2, T-84, Black Eagle, and Ariete.

I'll buy 20.

Your request is accepted, you will receive your order in 5 monthes (7 RL days)
Thank you.

OOC: It is overpriced. Considering its no better than the Abrams or T-90, I would place the price range around three million.

I keep it around ten until 45 have been sold then I lower it to 5 million

I keep it around ten until 45 have been sold then I lower it to 5 million

OOC: Well right now it's as much as a Nakil, which could probaly slaughter a whole company or more of these.

maybe the next time you can help me find a better price and improve it, but for now it is staying the way it is

OOC: Way better than previous two. Good work. Overpriced, but you've now designed a viable piece of kit. Well done *thumbs up*

OOC: thank you, and what would be a good price though

OOC: This is a moderately up-gunned, middle of the road medium tank. Light weight implies lower armour, but the 125mm smoothbore still makes it a threat to most other tanks.

3 or 4 million, I'd say. It wouldn't stand to a Nakil or Warhound, but could be very useful nonetheless. Also won't use as much fuel as either of its heavier rivals...

We have changed it to a medium battle tank becuase of the fact that a Nakil could kick it's ass

OOC: thank you, and that is good becuase it isn't meant to go head to head against Main Battle Tanks

The Greal government would like 100 more tanks.

Your request is accepted, 120 TM-3s comes out to 360 million, as part owner of the TM-4 and the TM-5 you get 20 tanks for free, making it 300 million. Thank you.

Thank you

OOC: Wow! Very nice actually, you've done well to get the extra info etc. I think the horse power/ton is 22 but im not 100% sure about that. yeah, in line with RL designs probably from the info you have listed, and as said before, its viable.

Well done, but i would say if you want to design something really kick arse, check out my signature for Draftroom, its a great place to post up designs and with something like this then the price thing could have been noted before it was even posted here :).

PS- Just thought, try not to bump it more than once a day, i don't think your supposed to, and theres no real rush to sell.

OOC: thank you it took me an hour finding the facts and another hour putting it together, and I have the draft room in my favorites and I plan on using it with the TM-4

[OOC: Why the Ariete tank? :P Although Soviet tanks tend to have excellet armor protection for their size and weight class they tend to have less protection than the heavier Western tanks. I think that in order to justify armor protection to levels which are closer to tanks such as the M1A1HA+ (and later variants of the) Abrams you may want to increase weight by around three to four tonnes. However, this is a very nice design overall. I'm just not a fan of the Ariete tank. Even Spain was offered to be part of the design the offer was declined and Spain opted for the Leopard 2. Spain had a similar indigenous project called the Lynx which was cancelled because the Leopard 2 offered a better and cheaper alternative.]

OOC: I only have the Ariete because at the bottom of the wiki for the Abrams that was there under relevant so I used it, and thank you for the compliment and very nice job on the Nakil

I haven't bumped this in almost 5 monthes but, bump

Greal would like to buy 600 more of these tanks.

The turret and hull are protected second generation Chobham armour, ERA (Axplosive Reactive Armour) kits are also fitted as necessary.

So, how big are the axes?

OOC: Thanks for pointing that out, but anyone with real sense would under stand I made a mistake and ment explosive.
