Just want to announce that the Chinese Super-Tank that I've been working on is
nearing completion.

Im basing the MOC on a pic I found in a Chinese military forum. Janes.com has
also made mention of this super-tank around last year. It is said that it will
have a 152mm cannon fed by an autoloader. Compared to China's current
Russian/Soviet copies of Tanks, this one is indigenous, has features based more
on Western tank designs and is predicted to be superior to any other Tank in
existance.

Now, I haven't read about any designations this tank has been given, so I had to
make up my own names for it. T-105 and nicknamed it "Imperial Dragon" harking
back to the old Chinese Empire days as the symbol of China's might, and the fury
and ferocity of the Chinese dragon.

This tank will be part of the Chinese faction in my own "Near-Future Military
Theme" which I call "CONFLICT ZONE - GLOBAL CRISIS".

(...) would roll right over a town. Then thru a field. And over the next town. Not to mention the fear and dread it would inspire in enemy tankers. -Clangador (2 URLs) (21 years ago, 23-May-04, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.build, lugnet.gaming, lugnet.town, FTX)
