Description I designed this tank myself as a future representation of changes in military doctrine due ever escalating tensions.

It was so long ago. I was just playing with idea of modular components for tanks along with new materials. also active incoming kinetic reactive armor packages. that was the reason for the design. My Merkava projects came later I was developing the skill to be able to build them when I made this.

Wow, what's the armament of that thing? At least its not like the 175 ton monster that I requested from Mike (under the name of 'Snow, Ash, and the City')...

Question though, are you taking requests of any kind? I got some rad ideas for a fic I'm writing (right now its only at Spacebattles forums... and for the life of me I can't seem to get a lit deviant in...) and right now I can't [retracted] do anything about them (me not good at free drawing...)...

It's 120 mm an the idea is that it's made of the first plasticized metals so it's very light weight.As far as request I'm taking a lil break right not Star trek online has stolen my like life for right now.

Well I was thinking of a tank that is 90 tons in mass, has a main gun using an automatic electromotive coil weapon (i.e. a coilgun) in 155mm caliber, a powerful UV pulse laser as a coaxial, and two PD lasers for ADS. Crew of two and AI governed FCS system. E-War suite integrated with the tank with thermal and limited visual stealth systems.

Armor is a composite armor utilizing mago-ceramics, quark resonators, iridium-osmium alloys, various degrees of ablative alloys, and active electro-reactive systems. It also has a quantum shield system to help keep it alive.

In shape I want it as smooth and it's visual cross section minimized. Make it look like a descendant of the M1 Abrams if you will please.
