For years, the Veridians have asked the question, "What is tank doctrine supposed to be?" The Veridians answered this question with artillery and infantry support. The Basilians are answering this question by asking not what a tank is to support, but what is to support a tank. The tank uses a 200mm Experimental Plasma Injection Cannon. How a PIC works is a high energy magnetic choke compresses and accelerates the plasma ring. Firing it down a field line and firing a focused bolt of plasma towards a shell, launching the shell at around Mach 12. Armored with Plate Armor 5, a plate armor with 4 phases. Silicon Carbide blocks made to deform and shatter incoming kinetic projectiles. An intermediate shock absorption, made with a Shear-Thickening fluid to absorb shockwaves and spread localized impact energy over a wide area. A Carbon Nanotube Composite shell just to hold the thing together and deflect wide-area stress. Lastly, ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene to catch incoming debris, etc. Also of course the armor is sloped to increase effectiveness. The tank has a CIWS to defend from drones and incoming shells. 81mm multi-purpose grenade/smoke launcher. This is all being managed by an AGI. Lastly, the tank holds around 18 shells, all mounted on an autoloader similar to the Leclerc. Also has a 30 MW mini laser to take out infantry + a forward-mounted machine gun. Alongside, of course, 4 drones for scouting and further anti-infantry countermeasures. The tank being able to link with other tanks, and drones to aid in information. We also threw copper all over the tank (basically) to protect against EMP's. Oh and we added the APS system from the TR-17 but made it more modern.
