T-15 Gepard

The T-15 was developed by TGDB to meet a specification requested by the USST army in 1946 to produce a light tank/scout. The Gepard shown in the picture is fitted with a high velocity 75mm cannon with better performance than the QS ordnance 17 pdr. The 75mm rounds can be fired in a 5 round burst, however, the gun can function as a regular gun, loaded from the breech and has an extreme elevation for engaging aircraft or helicopters.

 

TGDB claimed that 75mm cannon could defeat any tanks on Terra by hitting them with a five round burst in the same area of the armor, even in night conditions as it has 2 IR lights next to its main gun.

 

The tank has high first-hit probablity thanks to the gun's high muzzle velocity and coincidence rangefinder on the commander's hatch.

 

Aside from the really low height (1,9m) and its maximum speed (limited to 92km/h) this tank has one other unique feature, shown in the other picture .
