MAJE X32 Tank Proposal

Auto Credit Based on JonTKocz's Prototype Teaser

This is MAJE's proposal for the legendary Abrams replacement tank. MAJE's X32 competes against General Motors/General Land Dynamics X32 proposal. The electromagnetic propulsion breech means that ammunition no longer needs propellant, so all non explosive rounds can be stored safely in the fighting compartment while rounds with explosive can be stored in the turret bustle. This also means a fragile railgun isn't exposed to the outside combat conditions. The coaxial underslung machinegun of the tank is a plasma thrower. The ears of the turret serve as the tank's countermeasure suite, ranging from smoke to a trophy system. The roof mounted CITV (commander's independent thermal viewer) can be set to spot targets autonomously as well as listen for enemies. A drone and roof mounted turret are to be developed. All periscopes for the crew members can be switched between visual and IR visual frequencies.

130mm main cannon
Coaxial 20mm plasma thrower
Ignore listed weight, actual mass is classified (it's at that for game physics reasons)

Throttle is on your trim, I suggest putting the controls on the screen so you can see your trim slider.

Turning is on the yaw function.

Turret control is on your roll and pitch functions, and works best with mouse aim. Adjust your settings if the pitch is backwards.

AG1 is the main 130mm cannon, firing once every 2.5 seconds
AG2 is your plasma thrower! Go nuts!
