Overview
So basically some guys got together in like 2008 in a bowling alley somewhere, tanked up on beer and were like 'wouldn't it be totally awesome if the Army like had nothing but nukes'.
Unfortunately, those guys had money and military positions. So by 2010, they came up with this retarded tank that spewed proximity fuzed nuclear death everywhere and sank cities. Worse still, these guys also happened to be really good at making powerpoint presentations, which got the whole Armed Forces Staff behind them. The tank was made, and entered the testing phase; one *really* cold winter later, hey presto, nuclear lol tank.
Armament
The main armament of the YrC9 SPH is the 155mm SC22.9 56 calibre solid propellant howitzer. Designed to replace the previous generation of short barreled howitzers employed by the Crown Army in the M109A6 Paladin, the SC22.9 is a rifled gun-howitzer that utilises a combination of...
lol jks it has 1 big gun that shoots nukelear shells, one little one that shoots anti infantry fire bullets D:<D:< D:< and two big nuclear missiles that can kill a whole citie
Armour
They actually use sheets of depleted uranium welded together with glue made from the bones of children, ponies and fairies which weren't fully vaporised by the fiery nuclear apocalypse spewed by the tank. Apparently the glue gives it a very high RHAe.
Active Protection System
The commander has a hose that spews coloured smoke and a really big peacock plume fan which he uses to try and knock incoming rounds off course. The technology has not been combat tested as of 2012.
Electronics
It has a whole array of extraordinarily sophisticated targeting equipment which allow it to place a shell within seven centimetres of anything it wants to hit. But once the crew figured out that targeting was less of a priority, the only electronics used in the targeting process tends to be the laser pointer the commander uses to show his target to the gunner, who then lobs a shell in that general direction. And it works. Much better than fancy howitzers, too.
Mobility
Can outrun a Ferrari. Can run over one, too.
