Mk.45 Dragon Hover-tank
Manufacturer: Dah'ool Armaments
Cost: $ 150,000 NBSD
Weight: 55.5 tons
Crew: 2 (Driver-Gunner & Commander,rest is automated)
Armour: Titanium-tungsten armor with active protection system and laser CWIS
Armament: 135mm rail gun,and a 15mm Gauss machine gun and sockets for extra weapons
Ammunition:3 round Auto-loaded revolver magazines (16 APFSDS-T magazines, 12 HEAT-T magazines,5 canister shells and 5 Nuclear-tipped shell magazines)
Suspension: Type-120 hover pads (4 on each side)
Range: 1500 km

$150k is far too little for any tank at all. 25 times that much would be more accurate.

Seams a lil' under cost for that type of system, everything else checks out pretty fine.

I'm guessing that top armor isn't that thick? If so, then a well placed Howitzer round or anti-tank gun might ruin it's day. Other than that it's pretty good.

indeed, I don't like to make invincible radar trucks though so ya know.

@UD1 and ASE,the price has been changed to be more realistic...

Maybe his currency has an ultra high exchange rate compared to other countries?

That seems better, I'd be shooting for system survivability at that price.

Yea..... I love me artillery.

Driver-Gunner seems like very, very, unthinkably bad idea. What majiks propel this thing for 1500 kilometers?

[United Districts of 1]

So what's the deal with FT and Pmter's obsession with mechs.
@Mskov- Yeah but being a radar truck I predict it'll be low on the priority list when your being pounded by my Comanche gunships and Dm-50 MBT

Not if i have my Triple A swatting at your Comanches and have My T100 ogres countering your tanks

Worth more than 25 times more than a US dollar? Also, it isn't a good idea to have the highest exchange rate possible, for several economic reasons. Someone in one thread made a very good argument that I may dig up.

1 NBSD = $1.0423 Here is evidence to support your claim. I love that NS calculator

Calculators are retarded and simply justify wanking. Most nations shouldn't have a GDP per capita of 45k, 15-20k average would be more realistic.

Meh comanches are stealth equipped so missiles would be rather ineffective. Your tanks would be a problem, are you PMT?

[Anastasia Romanova (Ancient)]

OOC: Okay, newfag moment here, could someone enlighten me as to the abbreviations

FT
MT
PMT

[Kelwona]

IIRC the commanche had a radar siganture only 20% less than the AH-64.

IIRC Comanche wasn't terribly stealthy.

Yep. Also you shouldn't be worried about missiles. Triple A is Anti Air Artillery.... flak basically

I thought the reason the Comanche was shaped like that was to fit better into ISO containers for shipment...

edit: That and reduced infrared, which has nothing to protect against radar, which sees the giant fucking whirling thing that keeps you flying. Rotary wing aircraft can never be stealthy. Ever.

It is a helicopter. What did you expect?

Fastar than lynx, moar stelf than raptor.

[Saurisisia]

An attack helicopter, no less.

[Licana]

hrrrgggg.

RAH = RECON Attack Helicopter

It's intended role was more like the O/AH-6 than an AH-64.

Indeed, Blackfoot is what I actually prefer but comanche seems just a little bit more practical.

[Bellganamos]

IIRC, Comanche and Apache were supposed to work together. The Comanche would laze targets and Apache would go after 'em.
