The Perfidious
NH m-47/m
The heavy tank model 47/c, or Nhéz Harckocsi modell 47-c, was one of the first Grópac indigenous designs, as all previous tank designs of the Central Pact had been designed in other factory complexes - it entered service just as the Second Wew War was ending, and be the object of fear for western countries for several years to come.
They serve both in tank-only regiments as well as amongst the mechanized infantry support, and were designed to carry troops mounted on their outsides as well.
With heavy armour and a heavy gun, the m-10/m would see action in the 1958 Prilep Crisis, despite nearing the end of its production. Total production would cease in 1962, as the tank was squarely out-of-date by then. All tanks have been going through the slow process of modernization since to make them competitive with more modern tanks.
Later production models and modernizations (1959+) would see the introduction of the -/m variant, which would upgrade the roof and coaxial machineguns to 14.5mm. These would
prove exceedingly useful once the introduction of the helicopter and more specifically, attack helicopter entered the battlefield, and would also provide more power against lightly-armored vehicles as was seen during the combat during the Prilep Crisis. It would also see the introduction of an NBC protection system for the tank, as well as more advanced IR systems.
It's a T-10M. Thanks to Zee for inspiration on how to get the pike-nose right, and to Awe for some other minor assistance.
