A 248 ton tank with just a 165mm gun? I'll stick with my Behemoth II's and Behemoth III's. The whole point to a big tank is a bigger platform, bristling with large cannon and automatic weapons.

Seems like a nice target for a GBU-10 or other 2,000 pound guided bomb. Also, it seems like it would have trouble with bridges, roads, etc. No thanks, we'll just stick with our regular sized tanks.

OOC: It seems that your stat regarding range is off, considering the Abrams carries more fuel (1,885-1,907 liters), weighs less (60-69.54 tons), has shorter range (265-275 miles), and is slightly slower (42-45 mph, governed to prevent drivetrain damage).

[ooc; modern-day Maus tank anybody?
