The M5A5 Victoria UPS-II SACLOS is an upgraded variant of the M5A5 Victoria, featuring upgraded turret armor, NERA, 120mm M9A3 smoothbore cannon with ETC breech, and a 5-shot pop-up Ballista SALCOS ATGM. The basic Victoria, while a capable design, appeared inadequate against other tanks which could employ ATGM missiles fired from the gun.

In addition, larger caliber guns were being introduced, threatening the heavy armor of the Victoria. The Paternian Army decided against both options. A larger-caliber gun-missile system would limit the already small number of shells carried due to the larger ammunition and bulky missiles. In addition, a new gun would cause logistical issues.

Instead, the Army went with a longer-barreled 120mm M9A3 with an ETC breech, providing up to 50% greater anti-armor performance over the previous M9A2. Additional armor and new composites were added. For longer-range engagements, an external armored container with 5 Ballista ATGMs in a pop-up luancher was put on the roof. With these modifications, the Victoria is expected to be able to deal with all current and forseen threats.

    Yep. Victoria as of now, is probably the standard which all tanks are compared to in C&C. When they speak of their machine's power, it is usually a claim that it can defeat the Victoria. @SimpleTechAndResearch
