Ok. Before I get into trouble and the comments are filled with "That's Dllama4's turret!" the turret is from his T-92, although it has some (major) differences. Also, it's KRAYTEC999's base.

On with the tank!
The T-53BV is Russia's next-generation AFV with a twist. It has wheels. It can be compared to the World War 2-era PAK 40 Puma from Germany but it is Russian and modern and... whatever, you get the point. It's not a normal tank and it's not the PAK 40 Puma.
At 7 tons it's featherweight when compared to tanks like the 48-ton T-90 and the 63-ton M1A2. When driving at 50 miles per hour, it tends to wobble a bit - stop turning and slam those brakes when that happens.

The crew:
A commander
A driver
A loader
An electronic warfare officer

The armament:
A 120mm main gun armed with 20 Armor Piercieng Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot shells in an autoloader
A 12.7mm MG for the commander
