Yeah, a large tank with a light armament of two 13mm machin guns. Beats 7.7s i guess

History
Developed in the early 1920s during the Year 25 Armament Plan, the 25w was designed to meet the request for a reconnaissance tank. The tank was intended to quickly get into position, gather observations of the enemy & fight if need be, then return. Two identical turrets would make production easier and the cast hull, an innovation of the day, removed the need for a heavy riveted frame. But the tank was expensive which resulted in low production numbers. In the field, the tank would prove to be mediocre at it’s intended role, with smaller and quicker vehicles being preferred, the tank’s case was not helped with its lack of a radio. But they were useful at being mobile pillboxes or infantry support tanks. Some were even modified into self propelled howitzers or tank destroyers.

Oh instructions are important,
Operation Manual
Ag1 to activate engine, forward and backwards movement with pitch.
To move the turrets, use ag2 for forward and ag4 for rear. Pitch and roll will move the guns up and down and rotate the turret. Ag3 and ag5 will activate the guns of the front and back turrets.

I used cannons to represent machine guns, their damage and muzzle velocity should be scaled correctly.
