Description This first ever tank destroyer created by the FR TDC! (short for tank development company). Built in order to gain the favor of manufacturing the tank to support the allies, but was outmatched by the VBS-1
This tank was intended to support allied invasion, but lacked the maneuverability that would have gained favor of the Military Ministry
This tank is equipped with decent radios and comms devices, but was unable to equip with better ones due to cost limits
Hull armor
Front: 100mm
Sides: 60mm
Rear: 50mm
Superstructure armor
Front: 120mm
Sides: 100mm
Rear: 80mm
Mounted with 110mm AT MJ1G6 gun less powerful than the gun on the VBS-1, but with better gun characteristics
It has a maximum ammo capacity of over 53 shells
The gun is compatible with AP, HE, and APCR shells
Having equipped with a .50cal AA machine gun which is capable of firing AT shells. Used mainly to destroy lightly armored targets.
Having adopted the Christie suspension for better speed, but currently lacks in maneuverability
Also mounting a 810hp engine that uses diesel.

Even tho having lost to its rival the VBS, the ministry was quite impressed with its armor protection and used it as a heavy assault tank, as well as a heavy tank destroyer
and shipped several vehicles to the British, to defend themselves against the upcoming enemy invasions. Was mainly used to defend key points as well as infantry and heavy tank assaults and invasions. The vehicle had finally been retired in the year 1958, and a total of 650 tanks had been produced during the war.

Now featuring shadows!

The design looks somehow what an FV101 Scorpion but instead with a turret it has a superstructure holding a 110mm gun
