The Victoria III is a new main battle tank in the Pilotmario Army. Armed with a 120mm coilgun, it is the most powerful main battle tank to enter service with the Pilotmario Army. Its thick frontal armor and powerful cannon make it a force to be reckoned with.

While its armor has been improved, its most notable difference from previous tanks is the inclusion of a 120mm 15-stage coilgun. It was found that the 90mm railgun, while an excellent anti-tank weapon, was less effective against softer targets due the lack of a HE round. The 105mm coilgun, first employed by the Olympians and reverse-engineered by the Pilotmarians, had an HE round available but had inferior armor penetration. A larger coilgun was developed to address these deficiencies.

A coilgun was chosen due to its ability to fire HE rounds. As the timing of the coils can be controlled in order to increase or decrease shot velocity, a coilgun can either fire at a low-velocity timing for HE or HEAT rounds against softer or lightly-armored targets while using a high-velocity timing for APFSDS rounds.

Trials indicate that the Victoria III is capable of withstanding a hit from an APDSFS round from the 90mm railgun up to 7 kilometers away, a hit from an APDSFS round from the 105mm coilgun up to 5 kilometers away, and a hit from an APDSFS round from the 120mm coilgun up to 9 kilometers away. At ranges farther than these described, the shell will deal no damage. Note that at these ranges, the shell will fail to penetrate the armor, but the concussive force would be enough to incapacitate the crew. Effective kill ranges in combat are 23-33% shorter due to this factor.

The 120mm gun has APFSDS rounds for tanks, HE for other purposes, APERS or airburst HE for anti-infantry purposes, HEAT for lightly-armored vehicles, and a WP smoke shell.

NOTES:
APFSDS stands for Armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding-sabot, the round most modern tank guns use against enemy armor.
HE stands for High-Explosive. These detonate on contact.
APERS stands for Anti-Personnel. The only difference between this and HE is the fuse; APERS detonates on a timer while HE detonates on contact.
HEAT stands for High-explosive Anti-Tank. Upon detonation, a hot stream of molten metal will be blown forward, puncturing the armor.
WP stands for White Phosphorous, a volatile compound which generates lots of smoke and high temperatures when burned.

    @General360 Honestly, its a pretty terrible plane. Like, it doesn't even have wings.

    However, it is an excellent tank.
