T27 class Main Battle Tank (TECH LEVEL 7)[edit]
Based on the chassis of the T27 class Main Battle Tank, TL-7: This is a tracked main battle tank designed to destroy armored vehicles. Designed and manufactured on Wiggins (world) with commonly available off the shelf technology. They are used in the Wiggins Regency Motor Rifle Regiments. The hull has radically sloped frontal armor and moderately sloped sides and rear. This dramatically limits the vehicle's interior volume. They are sealed with over pressure to permit operations in an NBC/CBR environment. The vehicles are not that heavy but the tracked suspension is smaller and they have a high ground pressure as a result. Their higher ground pressure puts a strain on the light weight tracked suspension which requires extra maintenance. They are considered under powered and lack range for long road marches. They typically need engineering support to cross water obstacles. They use an air breathing power plant and as a result can not maneuver in the absence of an atmosphere. They carry three crew a driver, gunner and a commander.
