Artemis Light Battle Tank

Artemis Light Battle Tank

This is an Assyrian light tank. It was designed to be cheap yet heavily armoured, for a role in the wars against the Czech-politicians. The Czechs can not afford many heavy weapons, so this tank was meant to be mass produced in order that the Czech military could not deal with so many heavily armoured vehicles.

The tank is small and not very heavily armed for something its size. This one here has the standard Heavy Gauss Cannon for a turret, and a MKIII missile. No other weapons were put on it to save money. Despite its sparse weaponry, the tank still poses a huge problem for the Czechs. They often have to call in their star force to deal with armoured targets such as these.

A squad of MiG II's attacks one of the tanks. Their heavy laser cannons have difficulty penetrating the armour, so they will probably resort to missiles to take it down.

The rear armour. The tank has many places where additional armour or weaponry can be strapped onto it.

It only has two crew members. One pilots the tank and uses its weapons in conjunction with the on-board targeting computer. The other (in this case a terminator robot) acts as engineer.

Size comparison against Czech machinery.

Size comparison again. This tank, even though it is a light one, still dwarfs a Czech Death Car. They are the mainstay of the Czech ground armour, but would not be able to fight this tank very well.

Umm I may add more armour and swap out the missile launcher for a cannon later. But yea, this is my first tank.

I like how you made it customizable with attachment points for armor plating and interchangeable turrets. The gun turret you have is very nicely made as well.

the czhec's could use technicals mounting recoileless rifles to take out the tank.

Reminds me of the British Stuart from WWII. Well done!

Awesome tank, and thumbs up for spelling armour with a u.

I need to order more treads so I can build a heavy tank. This one is nice but is rather plain. I'd like a hulking monstrosity of a tank loaded with weapons as well.

O and yea I spell stuff the English way because my parents are Canadian and they taught me to lol.

Nice, I like the turret design. It has that modern design that you use for the Assyrian's. The only thing I would change is that I would've moved the spoke rims on the track system to the end's instead of the middle. It might give the track a more uniformed look.

Btw... it must've killed you to not be able to have it in Assyrian white...

Dang.... all this tank building.... I'm going to have to rebuild my tank sooner than I planned....

Creepy much?

Cool tank. If you had this in the Death War, i would have been dead way faster.

You're in luck Ammo Man. I've been slowly preparing for the next battle... Included in these preparations is as you can see in the screens above a conversion of two of the Vostoks into MiG II's so there are now 3 of the deadlier MiG II's and only 1 Vostok. (The command one with extra guns.)

I'll have a new battle as soon as I think of an idea for it.

New battle?

I CALL CZECH STAR FORCE!

(please?)

A new, good battle is sorely needed. I need to make up some tactics to take down your cruiser faster.

It probably won't have the cruiser.

if you do another battle, can I be the pirates again?

Post by **Natalya** » Wed Jan 07, 2009 4:35 pm

Perhaps. Pirate team will be smaller though. After being revived, it was found that Billy Billikins suffered drain bamage when he hit the rock. He forgot who Palomar was, so he decided to go off and lead a group of space rednecks (such as himself) instead. Space rednecks are basically dimmies, except they inhabit only the desert regions of some of the Czech-politician worlds. Their intelligence level is slightly higher than dimmies though, but the difference is minimal. The Czech-Republic was originally part of the Assyrian Star Empire, but the first redneck war somewhere around G.R. 2003 eventually led to their separation. (Czech natives were mad at the civilian casualties that happened during the war between the Assyrians and the rednecks, so they revolted against the Assyrians.)

I want to be ninjas again!

This is a good sign. Everybody LOVED your last battle.
