TR8-1A Apex MBT

70.4k YourAverageB1BLancerSimp  5 months ago

The TR8-1A Apex is a main battle tank/MBT designed and manufactured by Guardian Aerospace. The calling for new ground equipment is necessary. Designed to replace the Guardian Aerospace GTV-1, an armored amphibious assault vehicle, the TR8-1A Apex is one of the best vehicles on the battlefield. As amphibious vehicles aren’t as needed for the ever changing battlefield of which this vehicle will fight on, the Apex will become a key asset for many. It goes around many limitations of the early GTV. Which include but are not limited to: frontal overhang, unreliable propulsion, top-heaviness, under-armored design, turret problems, weapons reliability and effectiveness, troop storage, survivability, etc. The Apex is already proving its worth. Heavily armed, modified, and armored, the TR8-1A is also based fairly upon the M1A2 Abrams MBT and Challenger 2 MBT. Armed with a 150mm main cannon with an average reload rate of 3 seconds, it is a formidable foe. It does feature a smoke screen although it doesn’t function well because SimplePlanes is not designed for them. Its the best ur getting :P

It is basically the representation of a true alpha male.
