Main Battle Tank Type 93 'Stalker'

MBT-93, AKA 'Stalker', is a 65 ton vehicle armed with a large railgun capable of accelerating projectiles to near lightspeed. The railgun can fire a variety of special ammo types including EMP, Incendiary, Armor-Piercing-Explosive-Delay, and Super-Piercing for maximum armor penetration. The tank also has a plasma machinegun mounted on top of the commander's cupola and another plasma machinegun mounted in the hull facing forwards in addition to a third plasma machinegun mounted coaxially with the main cannon.

The Stalker uses a high speed autoloading system, which can reload the railgun in one second. The capacitor has enough energy for 8 high speed shots before needing to recharge, making MBT-93 a truly "semi-automatic" armored weapon platform. Ammo type switching happens at the push of a button and takes two seconds, compared to loading an empty barrel. Recharging to full capacity takes 80 seconds, with the capacitor recharging 1 shot every 10 seconds.

MBT-93 is also equipped with an advanced Active Protection System capable of detecting enemy projectiles including hypersonic missiles and destroying them by launching small explosives with depleted uranium shrapnel. The curtain of uranium can either destroy the projectile or, failing that, knock it off course.

Additionally the vehicle is layered with Cryptik reactive armor over the traditional armored layer for high energy resistance. To attack MBT-93 effectively with energy weapons, the outer energy armor must be broken first. The vehicle will also detect the source of the projectile and automatically engage it with a 360 degree rotating plasma machinegun mounted on top of the main turret.

Stalker is also equipped with the latest automatic smoke launching system which automatically detects incoming fire and deploys a cloud of multispectral resistant smoke mixed with chaff particles and sparkling infra-red flares.

The firing strength of the railgun charge can be set as low as needed to produce accurate firing arcs at close or long range and enable the tank to function as a mobile artillery piece.

The tank is also equipped with gecko-treads to enable uphill mobility and traction on ice, though MBT-93 is too heavy to climb straight up cliffs.
