Ihzair’s Pioneering Light Tank:

Backstory:
With the Ihzari Coast growing in strength and wanting to expand, the new country needed a modern army to defend themselves and enforce their will on the neighboring city-states. Most of the opposing tanks were landships: slow, heavy, and big iron buckets with tank tracks and artillery guns captured from the “Old Empire”.

Rather than making their own land ships, the Ihzairi Coast made a new type of tank that was fast, nimble, able to scale terrain better, and had a single, fully-rotating turret. When the two tank types fought each other, the high-performance Ihzairi “turret-tanks” racked knockout after knockout, firing their guns from previously impossible angles, ambushing from perches, and dashing out of the enemy gun’s view before opening fire on weak spots.

Soon, armies around the world began trying to make their own “turret-tanks”, all following Ihzair’s pioneering design, which saw service even up to the initial invasions of the Western Territories.

About the tank:
This is my second tank of mine but the first in the project, and I’d say it’s pretty good! Based off of the Renault FT-17, this lightweight tank operated by a crew of two sports great handling and a 5-gear manual transmission while housing powerful and easy-to-use weaponry. It has a very high top speed at the cost of poor fuel economy, which can be fixed with staying on gear 2 or 3.

Hope you enjoy it!
