Description

Another schematic for one of my military vehicles. This one is still a work in progress. I'm working on a top down view but I'll post what I have so far and the technical specifications.

Overview:
The Alpha-2 heavy tank, big brother to the lighter Alpha-1 is the most powerful conventional tank short of the Omega series. Introduced in the later stages of the Hollocahn-Earth war it proved highly capable, wielding both extraordinary firepower and protection while still retaining respectable mobility.

Design:
There is no doubt the Alpha-2 is a very large tank. Advanced metal alloys help to keep the weight down but it still tops out at an dirt packing 115 metric tons. The quad tread design helps displace that weight and improve its mobility.
Powering the Alpha-2 is a powerful OMNI Corp. TXRBM-099 Fusion Reactor. At full throttle the tank can reach a top speed of 65 mph. despite its weight and size.

Weapons:
The Alpha-2 is a mini fortress bristling with weapons. It's main cannon, a 175 mm rail gun can pierce through any known armor. It is supplemented by a coaxial 35 mm coil gun on the turret and two 20 mm mounted coil guns near the hatches. The mounted coil guns can also be optionally be supplemented themselves with an additional 75 mm light rail gun attachment, adding increased anti-armor capabilities at medium to short ranges. In addition to all that it also comes equipped with 6 all purpose missiles, usually meant for anti-air. Though some commanders question the practicality of these missiles stating that mounting missiles on a tank is just silly or overkill, a few tank crews have found creative uses for them.
