As you've seen the other Asad Tanks from Awwam, they had just one problem, that is armour sloping...
So, Electrode Corps Design Bureau came up with a newer design to keep up with the competition against other foes of Awwam.

Featuring armour sloped at 30° at the front and 52°30' at the rear, this is is an armour sloped heavy tank
Unfortunately, the Design Bureau had one flaw, they couldn't fine tune the design of the turret due to the system that they had to use, that is the only system they have at the moment :P
It features a 160mm CoilGun, a new weapon in the arsenal of Awwam. Due to the capabilities of the long lasting high output EM Batteries, the CoilGuns can fire 6 shots in quick succession, that is 1 shot a second, while requiring a reload time of 3s. The CoilGun is rested upon a very stiff dampener to soak up most of the recoil. The secondary weapon [forgotten to add it tho]
is the TeslaCannon Mk 1.3, which now give out a whopping 7500°C of Lightning towards enemy infantrymen and enemy tanks, having a range of 2000m. Armour used is a compound of Carbyne and Graphene, codenamed Graphyne, a carbon much stronger and durable than them both. It was founded by accident by a group of scientists who were heating both Graphene and Carbyne together. All in all, the new compound gives 40x more protection than steel, like 100mm of Graphyne is equivalent to 4000mm of steel

All in all, this is the best of the Awwami MBTs of the Al-Asad Line

    @Supermini555 Well, the gun should be facing forwards, optimally, because that's where the enemy should be, since that's where the armor on your tank is the strongest.

    The rest of the armor angles are perfectly suitable, although we found the driver's port in the front hull a potential weakspot. All Paternian main battle tanks in use employ a driver's periscope in the hatch for this reason.

    Other than that, the armor angles make sense.

    Of other note, we found that while the 160mm Awwami cannon is insufficient against the Victoria, it is still effective against the Ardent series which comprises the majority of our armored units due to the expense of the Victoria. On the other hand, the 120mm M5 cannon and 155mm M8 cannon are still effective against this tank

    I also found the notion of Awwami soldiers willingly wearing armor to be contradictory to our experience. We feel that many didn't wear armor to show that they were indeed not afraid of death, as many felt that wearing armor is a sign of cowardice.

    Whoops, that is a little oversight to the design of the tank... Even though the turret ring is jammed, the gun can still move, and this weakspot is only shown when the gun is facing forwards
    Mind you, this tank is one powerful tank, more powerful and more practical than the others. This is going to be the final design of the chassis as it is the best chassis of the Al-Asad line and will be upgraded in terms of armour, firepower, turret design and Power @Pilotmario

    @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Just write better stories, mate. And design something so revolutionary or unique that it gets people to turn heads.

    For me, that was the Artemis tank, which although you may look at now and (rightfully) see it as a quite amature-built vehicle, know it was not only built without things like dedicated automotive components such as powered wheels, sprung suspension, car engines, shock absorbers, but was also built at a time where there were no things such as hinge rotators and I had hardly the understanding of XML.

    But the coolest part of the Artemis was its quad-track suspension, where each track can be moved much like an automotive wheel. While completely impractical for something of that size, what is cool isn't what is always practical.

    All I had was an idea, it was unique, and I implemented it. And I credit @GluonicGaming with a lot of my success.

    Also writing stories can elevate otherwise mediocre builds to those of legendary status.

    The Pummeler, by itself, is not a particularly remarkable airplane. In its class, it was about as fast as other aircraft, and only recently gained some maneuverability.

    Compared to the twin-engine prop-powered attackers it had to compete with, it was less survivable, had poorer forward visibility and could not carry as much munitions without sacrificing performance heavily.

    However, what it didn't have in raw performance or looks was a simplistic charm and a story with relatable characters. The airplane, which mind you, is based off the first plane I uploaded, has now become a legend.

    I wrote stories of not only itself, but of the pilots and aircrew who operated them.

    And so the Pummeler became what it is through my storytelling, the AK-47 of warplanes. Like an AK-47, it's not fancy or truly revolutionary, but it's simple, cheap, durable, and powerful, whose combination of factors allowed it to be so widely used, and whose performance in combat, thanks to my storytelling, has inspired others to make comparable aircraft.

    @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Doesn't need to go into the ring.

    It would be like a wedge jammed in the shot trap.

    @Pilotmario it's Covered by the Bit of Turret. That's and if your tank was on lower terrain than his your chance of still jamming the Ring would be low because there's no space between the ring and it's Within the turret.

    Into the turret ring.

    Even if the shot fails to penetrate, it would jam the turret ring. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation

    I know about momentum, the higher the mass, the higher the velocity, therefore the higher the momentum.
    Heavier bullets, despite having excellent momentum, they're a pain to load due to it's immense weight, therefore we use both types of shells, light shells for close ranges, heavier shells for long ranges @Pilotmario

    Look, you tried the same subject matter three times and every time, it got pulled down by someone.

    You can try a Crescent and Star instead. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation

    @Supermini555 But light bullets also lose penetration over distance. Badly.

    Well, if you say that the APFSDS is a far more effective ammunition, therefore the coilgun will gain a max penetration per round of 15 000mm
    Due to the composition of the bullet, which uses Graphyne as it's core, it is extremely light, yet can deal an insane amount of penetration @Pilotmario @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation

    @Supermini555 Speaking of which, Discussion of the use of electricity in warfare has now opened up broad field of weaponry and their Utilisation which will be conducted in future releases, Thermal Energy is also to now be considered alongside Chemical if deemed required.
    I'll tell you what I'm talking about and my idea's.

    @Pilotmario And the Power Combined with the acceleration speed alongside the momentum of the Projectile will result in a Dangerous and penetrative weapon, still regarding an electric weapon of relevance.

    @Pilotmario You have proven a logical theory where the Electrical power storage was not accounted for, in this case we use a Massive Poly Composite for the battery holdings and the battery itself, giving a decent charge with the Projectile, That and it can regenerate.
    However Electrical weapons are extremely useful against Personnel.

    @Supermini555 Sorry for dumping a sh-t ton of science on this page, to disprove the theory that your electrical weapons are of any effect.

    @Supermini555 APCR is obsolete.

    APFSDS is the sh-t.

    @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation A continuation of the below lecture.

    Now we know that amperage is what determines lethality. And the amperage would be quite low, as Amperage (I) is voltage (V) times the resistance in ohms (R). Therefore, with I = V/R, and knowing that air has an electrical resistance of 4x10^13 at sea level.

    Now, to achieve a minimum lethal current of 0.1 amps, we need to know the voltage, which is going to be 4x10^12 volts, or 4 trillion volts.

    In comparison, your standard transmission lines will have a voltage of up to 7.65x10^5 volts, or 765,000 volts. This will deliver a fatal, since aluminum, the material of choice in such wires, has much lower electrical resistance than air.

    To produce such power, we return to Power = Voltage * Amperage. This will mean that the tank must generate 400 billion watts, or 400,000 megawatts, to be able to deliver a fatal shock at one meter.

    Now the Three Gorges Dam is the most powerful power station in the world, harnessing the power of the Yangtze River. It generates 22,500 megawatts, using 34 Francis turbines, with 32 having 700 megawatt outputs, and the other two having 50 megawatt outputs, the latter two used to power the dam's management systems.

    You're basically telling me that a tank can generate 17.78 times more power than the world's largest power generation station made to date. And I haven't even accounted for the fact that this supposed weapon has a range of 2,000m, and therefore will need to multiply everything by 2x10^3, in order to achieve minimum lethality of 0.1 amps at said range, as that's how much electrical resistance there will be.

    Granted the electrical resistance will be a bit lower if said air has a 99% humidity, but it's still huge, as water turns out to be not much better at electrical conduction.

    Yeah, I'm going to call BS on that.

    Graphyne, not Carbyne
    The 160mm doesn't fire automatically, it fires one at a time, perfect for Close Quarters
    The APCRs used can enhance the ability of the CoilGun by allowing it to penetrate through 12 000mm of steel, while it's HEP counterpart is meant to penetrate through 5 000mm of steel, then blow a scab off the interior of the tank. At longer ranges, the rapid fire is less effective, therefore firing a shot every few seconds for maximum accuracy. The gun has a dispersion of 0.13m after 10km, making it extremely accurate with it's shots, although the aiming time is 4s, coupled with rapid fire, it will miss some of the shots, therefore shooting every few seconds @Pilotmario

    @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Energy = Heat. Power = Energy/Time. Therefore, Power = Heat/Time. If time is a constant, the greater the power, the greater energy, and therefore, the greater heat.

    Overheating IS possible, as continuous operation will lead to an accumulation of heat that will melt the insulation for the electrical systems and cause a short-circuit.

    The heat generated by the electrical weapon is four times lower than that generated by a bolt of lightning.

    Also, that wouldn't happen, since the Victoria M5A5 has proven resilient to the Awwami 160mm coilgun and the 145mm coilgun frontally at all ranges. The M5A6 is an improvement over this, and is resistant to newer ammunition types from said gun at all ranges as well as the 183mm Temporian cannon at distances beyond 1 kilometer.

    Now, is it possible to kill an M5A6? With an Awwami 160mm, yes. If you get a flush shot to the side and manage to get within 100 meters of a Victoria, yes. Even several friendly fire incidents involving the M5A6 Victoria, its own gun was found to be unable to penetrate its own armor.

    Note that while carbyne is known for its high tensile strength, it is highly unstable and is liable to turning into graphite. Basically, it's structurally unstable, and may turn into pencil lead.

    So basically, half your tanks and your armor suits are partially comprised of pencil lead. And we know how much that stuff loves to break.

    Amperage, or amps are a unit of electrical current. Joules is the energy. Watts is the energy over time. Electrical potential is also known as Volts.

    One watt is equivalent to joules over time (seconds), and is also equal to voltage times amperage. Therefore, joules per second(s) is equivalent to the voltage times the amperage.

    @Pilotmario This part
    "point of a 50-foot wooden tower can get hit by lightning and and not go on fire, then I suppose a 70-ton tank, with multiple layers of air, steel, carbon nanotubes, and the equivalent of armor-grade asphalt can withstand a hit a quarter of the power." A quarter of the power?
    This is 60 times that of its power. 60 TIMES.
    However Overheating is not possible since Carbyne layers it and is Packed by Carbon nanotube's surrounding the whole turret in Within it as a layer. However when the Joules are converted to Amps. They do not underestimate at that, the Amps are sustained within the Projectile that is accelerated through the Coilgun. However I think the 6 Shot autoloader is sufficient for having a Reload time of 3 Seconds since this has Sets of Ammunition ready for despatch and loading.
    /
    Regardless I honestly doubt the protection of your Tanks when you have this flying at 70 tons of steel and it gets penetrated then you see your tank crew man has his head splattered throughout the tank interior, by the the Commander would be in shock and fail to respond to orders. He would then drive into the brigade blowing himself and his tank to pieces.
