SSIA Medium Tank:
Cost: 850
Armor: Heavy
Speed: Fast
Weapon: 85mm Cannon
Range: Medium-Long
War Factory tech, Low-tier tank

The SSIA Medium Tank (long Medium Tank A1) was the pinnacle of light armored design during the Main War and replaced the entire Light Tank class of vehicle shortly after the war began. It's blueprints were some of the last to make it through the time transfers- however, they were mildly corrupted. Designed to act as a support unit for SSIA Main Battle Tanks, the Medium Tank is fast, dependable and lethal.

To compensate for thin armor protection, the Medium Tank is armed with a rapid fire 85mm cannon. Despite its small caliber, the 85mm cannon is quite lethal on armored targets, thanks in large part to the all SABOT-round package that all Medium Tanks have. (although this comes at the cost of anti-infantry firepower)

Variants:
The Light Tank series were the predecessors to the Medium Tank A1. Other than that, the Medium Tank is the first of its class.

I don't much like the remap on the sides. If I was you, I'd limit the remap on the chassis sides to the far front and back panels, because as is it gives the impression of unnatural height.

Also, why is the turret so far forward? I thought that it was the fashion to have the turret further back on modern tanks?

The SSIA isn't about "modern" technology, but rather futuristic technology. (or perhaps, post-modern to a degree)

My view of the future the SSIA comes from isn't necessarily the type we like to imagine, where everything is all ultra high-tech and impossible to recognize from now. Its rather a future where technological development, especially in respect to military design stagnated, because well...World Government = world peace = no need for ever evolving military designs

I'll take your advice into account in regards to the remap. Wink
