Not part of the D.E.R.P program, the Light Tank is made using graphene layers 250mm thick, coupled with 4 air pockets to prevent HESH/HEP shells from injuring the instruments and the crew, giving the effective armour of 1000mm thick. Alongside with the Graphene is the ERA plates specifically used to block other projectiles shot by tanks. Other than that, the tank features a cloaking system similiar to the Ar-Ramh, rendering the tank invisible, perfect for ambushing. Angled, the armour has a max armour value of 10000mm of armour. To help the tank reach its full potential, the Tank contains a 425mm RailGun to penetrate through 4250mm of armour. Another Weapon it can be equipped with is by using a 425mm Plasma Cannon. It is the toughest of all tanks in Awwam.

lol, yep! @Pilotmario
@Supermini555 Yeah, I suggest using a smaller-caliber gun and reducing the all-around armor. Also, the armor angling of the tank isn't particularly good, and is liable to get punctured by a railgun.
The test facility tends to underestimate the power of their antitank guns.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation I don't think your tanks can handle a 450mm gun of any sort, unless it is a low-velocity mortar-like weapon.
For one, that's in battleship cannon realm. The main guns of the USS Missouri, an American Iowa-class battleship, are 406mm high-velocity battleship killers. These guns are 50 calibers long, meaning the barrel is 50 times longer than the bore. That's a big gun, and I've seen them before up close.
Each one of the three gun turrets weigh about 53,000 tons of pure armor steel. The turrets, like on all battleships, are not physically attached to the ship, resting on large rollers over the turret ring cut into the deck, and staying on due to the sheer mass of the turret. This means you need about 17,700 tons of material, in addition to the recoil buffers, in order to fire these guns without having them come off the deck of the ship and into the ocean.
Now, the ship itself was launched and commissioned in 1944. But the laws of physics in 1944 are the same as the laws of physics a century and a half later. And you can see the raw power of these guns in pictures you can find. Nine of these guns, firing broadside over the side of the ship, will push said 58,000 ton battleship some distance back.
Now that's nine guns going off at once, but even if scaled down to one gun, that's still a lot of energy, more energy than a 50-ton mass of metal called a tank, can handle without excessive compromises to the design. In fact, the 16-inch shells fired by the Missouri weigh 1.2 tons by itself.
In short, your tanks would be flipping over when they shoot due to the sheer force of firing the main gun. Shock absorbers can help a bit, but the energy is still being transferred to the tank itself.
Like I said, Its just a test for armour and testing the recoil of the gun on the tank... Seems like its not best for duty yet... @Pilotmario
@Supermini555 Lemme get to that.
And I don't think ANY soldier will be comfortable being next to a tank that's going to jump backwards from the recoil. That will cause plenty of track damage, and the fact the gun is positioned very highly on the machine will tell me that there's no room to load said projectile, or any room for them.
And yes, the guns on the battleships have hydraulic shocks. And you can see how far back the 58,000 ton battleship goes when all nine are fired broadside.
Now, I'm assuming your tank is about 40 tons or more. Imagine that power, divided by nine, on something relatively small.
I doubt your crew, or the electronics, will be happy with that kind of force on something relatively small.
I used the 0.85 cylindrical fuselage block to achieve the size
There are hydraulics shocks that help reduce the recoil of the gun itself by a lot. Well, don't you remember that my Hetzer has a 450mm plasma Cannon? Why don't you comment on that? @Pilotmario
Btw, they are made of titanium, making it much, much lighter @Pilotmario
Nope, They're High Velocity, and yep, it will be flung backwards, but its quite low to the ground to prevent it to be flipped upsidedown, this is a test to the survivabilty of the tank. The guns is to test the mountability of the railgun/plasma cannon @Pilotmario
I must ask, how does your tank absorb the kind of recoil that require about 17,700 tons of material behind them WITH recoil buffers? (I calculated the mass of the turret B of the Iowa-class battleship, as it was the lightest of the three turrets on the ship, and it comes out to about 53,000 tons, and each turret has 3 16"/50 caliber Mk 7 naval guns). These 16" (406mm) guns are massive. I've seen them in person, having visited the USS Missouri, one of four Iowa-class battleships, most famous for the fact that Japan's surrender in WWII was signed on the decks of the USS Missouri.
And note, these turrets are not attached to the ship in any way. They simply rest on huge ball bearings in turret rings cut in the deck, held down by the sheer mass of the emplacement.
One issue: that's a 425mm railgun.
The main battery guns of America's most powerful battleship, the Iowa-class, are 406mm guns. The guns of the most powerful battleship built, the Japanese Yamato class, are 460mm guns.
And I'm assuming these aren't low velocity mortars.
