The M4A6 Diplomat MBT, brought into service in G.R. 1980, is the principal main battle tank of the United Systems Alliance Army And Marine corps. Featuring four feet of reenforced heavy metal armor and enough firepower to start and end a small war, the Diplomat is a force to be reckoned with.

Image
Improved shells and weapon racks allow the Diplomat to fire high-powered explosives at a ridiculously fast rate.

Image
A remote-controlled minigun provides anti-infantry fire.

I'm not sure what these are. maybe fuel cells?

The crew enters and exits the vehicle through the rear hatch.

The main cannon can be elevated slightly for use as artillery, and the minigun has 360 degree rotation.

The missile pods raise up when in use.

Indeed. Superb job, you make some really nice vehicles.
About those back things, fuel cells makes it kinda vulnerable from the back don't you think? :twss: No seriously, try putting them up front, this way It could be like an anti-landmine device

I tried that, but it just looked stupid.

I might just remove them.

They could always be extra back wheels in case it goes over some terrain that makes it tip back. Kinda like wheelie bars on drag racers.

Or they could be ammo, or droppable mines.

I think that's it. Ammo/supply drums.

That is one bad-ass tank.

So..how big of an explosion do you get when the rocket pods explode?

I have yet to figure out appropriate overkill damages.

I like the style of your tank, Abrams plus. Are the tracks doubled on each side or single width?

Thanks. The sensor was pretty much just there because I needed some way for the gunner to see.
Oh, and I do play Mercenaries 2. The Allied naming scheme was just too good to pass up.

Single width. Any wider would look stupid.
