"The Victoria heavy tank (sic) with spigot mortars on the turret is a priority target, and all efforts to disable or destroy it should be made."
-Olympian Army High Command, Memorandum #12113
An extensive modificaiton of the original Victoria MBT, it features a newer 90mm rail gun as well as custom-fitted spigot mortars on each side of the turret. To operate, press (3) and move the VTOL slider up to adjust range. Press (4) to fire. Do not fire below 15 degrees of elevation. To activate main gun and coaxial machine gun, press (1). Aiming the main gun and coaxial gun is done through pitch and roll controls, and with practice is extremely accurate. To activate roof-mounted machine guns, press (2). Controls for the roof-mounted machine guns are the same. To open the hatches, press (3) and VTOL up. This is not an error; members of the 1st Armored Division were to observe the trajectory of these weapons, and therefore operated them with the hatches open. Yaw operates steering, though vehicle must have power in order to do so.
This example was operated by the 1st Armored Division. During the Crossing of the Salamis Strait, Olympian forces were heavily entrenched, and the 90mm rail gun was ineffective against the soft earth berm, which tended to absorb the projectiles, reducing its effective power. While Pummeler Attack aircraft found diving attacks effective, they suffered very heavy casualties doing so. As a result, the 1st Armored Division fitted naval depth charge throwers on the turret sides of their vehicles and attached standard 250-pound aircraft bombs on them. These weapons had the sufficient power and trajectory to strike the much more thinly protected top side with the safety and armor of the Victoria II tank. The 1st Armored Division retained these launchers, and the weapon was adopted by other units as well; it was employed on Avenger Expeditionary Tanks and Assaulter APCs.

Nice! @Hadesrocksz
Second place
@Pilotmario cool
@ian1547 Both the Mk 8 and Mk 9 are still capable of killing tanks, due to the fact it shoots at the much thinner top armor of a tank. The top armor of a tank is typically much thinner than the front armor.
@Pilotmario okay
It's a subassembly I posted alongside the Mk 8 cannon. The Mk 8 has reduced performance (RIP bridge at 2 miles) but is mobile friendly. @ian1547
@Pilotmario i would not like that but i dont mod my aircraft unless its a subassembly
A wing gun XML modded to kill bridges 10 miles away. @ian1547
What's ur mk9 cannon
Your best ones @ian1547
@Pilotmario which
@ian1547 You go do that.
Say, what do your tanks think of my Mk 9 aircraft cannon?
@Pilotmario thx and probs. I am gonna make a med tank soon after I build my next plane for the IJ United
@ian1547 I think my tank has the first-shot advantage due to the smaller size. But your's is pretty cool too.
I think 1-2 hits could take out the Voider but the Voider is faster(ironically) and the gun could one hit this, but awesome tank still
@Pilotmario KK thx.
VTOL engines are your friend. And use pitch and roll to control the main gun. @DelphFoxFan
@Pilotmario Now i wanna build a tank, any tips?
It's a long story. @Hadesrocks
Ok, wow, I am flattered @Pilotmario
@Hadesrocks They considered it, but deemed it too costly; the machine was already very expensive, and the Council was not keen on spending more money on a tank they believed to be overpriced. As a compromise, the Army decided to use Kevlar-Nylon coverings, which was 70% as effective as the carbon-fiber coverings, but a quarter of the price; Kevlar and nylon was already available, and the carbon fiber plant in Delphi was already operating at capacity. Titanium was also unavailable; most deposits of sufficient quality were located in the less than friendly State of Sancta and the Pilotmario Republic to a lesser extent. While the takeover of Sancta provided them the necesary materials, they had other requirements for these materials, notably the Hades Cruise Missile (which I will upload soon). A few did receive experimental coverings, however. By this time, the Pummeler Attack Mk 3 was entering service, and could punch through these (and the whole tank in general) with the 30mm Mk 8 cannon. It was decided it was not worth the cost to retrofit the whole fleet with them.
However, HR incorporated designed carbon fibre weave that can resist light arms fire, the olympian army used this fabric to cover the treads, along with a titianium wire mesh weave to maintain rigidity @Pilotmario
@Hadesrocks The Olypmian Army decided to make the pylons more flexible, allowing them to function like suspension. Which worked, until the Pilotmario Army captured one and learned that one can damage the suspension with concentrated heavy machine gun fire.
That storry tho, but yhea, quad treads would be useless, since the weight would be concentrated on the support pylons @Pilotmario
