Posted: Thu Sep 09, 2010 7:31 pmGuys back to tanks goddammit
So I've decided on two chasses, suitably light and Havenic ones to boot. MAD.II(T-55) for lolcheapness and ease of production(and integrated iPads), or Gladiator(M60 Patton), of similar weight, purchasing ease(I can have the tanks shipped to me over land lulz), existing tech support, and liberty points.

But with the lowest bidder comes the lowest quality.

But it's like an indelible mark of tyranny :/
but I operate Verutum anyways, but you know, the Gladiator is at least acceptably modern

A 10,000 dollar tank is too cheap to trust.
Posted: Thu Sep 09, 2010 9:19 pmT-55 with modern FCS and ERA is pretty decent for rough terrain where lighter tanks are appreciated. Not only that, they're easier to fix then any other Soviet tank, including the T-72.

Not really, T-55s are a god send for African warlords fighting other African warlords who have AK-47s and RPGs. Bring in even a T-34 and you got the bitches running.
Dude, it's Africa. You could bring in one of these and send the bitches running.

Yeah, except he's not in Africa, he's in Haven.

A ten thousand dollar tank is lovely for soaking up 50,000 dollar anti-tank missiles.
Having done appreciably nothing but rack up a giant debt to be paid upon capture of the capital, mirite?
Also sub-kiloton nukes. :u

He was referring to the MAD.II, not the T-55 :<

Designed for shock assaults or boarding against vehicle-scale enemies (Tank battle in a docking bay, anyone?) Ramset Organic Tanks are self-aware and alive, requiring no crew, and capable of hibernating between uses. They are brutally loyal and dangerously protective of their creators and Imperial Marines, and will do all in their power to ensure their survival, even if it means taking shots intended for their smaller companions.
Since they require no crew, these tanks are barely as large as standard motor vehicles or tankettes, this allows them to be easily transported between ships, and enables them to be easily constructed. They have a life span of approximately 23 years of activity, with functionally infinite hibernation time between.
They are armed with two sets of six-round 'mosquito' missile launchers, four forwards-facing anti-infantry needler weapons, and two starship-grade Plasma projectors.
Due to how they are made, they are remarkably fragile to initial damage, though capable of functioning after much more abuse than their technological counterparts. Their turret is only capable of 200-degree rotation around the frontal arc, and approximately 90 degrees elevation, though each main weapon can be elevated independently and engage separate targets.
Nobody wants to try and at least give me an idea on how to improve it? can I suggest that this may be the best organic tank on NS, in that case?
This lack of criticism is driving me bloody crazy.
