At the Edge of the Future Main

"The American M3A1 Atlanta Main Battle Tank was introduced in 2031 and was first deployed only a year later during the annexation of Canada. In opposite to its older EU counterpart, the Leopard 3A1 and 3A2, the Atlanta has one 20mm auto cannon additional to the electrothermal-chemical 120mm main cannon, which is, yet again in opposite to the EU MBT, not capable of mortar fire.

 

 

Core accomplishments of the designing progress were to achieve active defense systems and great firepower as well as heavy armor. That was indeed necessary in order to withstand strafe runs and bombings of tank killing aircraft such as the EU Dragonfire, of which a fully armed unit could easily unleash enough firepower to outmatch active defense systems."

 

I had the plan to make a tan tank for half a year roughly, now I was finally able to actually do it. Personally, a tan tank sure is great when it is done, but don´t underrate the costs, literally. Getting the required pieces in tan was not only expensive, it also took some time. The diorama it is presented in was done due to the great popularity my earlier tank presentation diorama achieved. Special thanks to Julien for editing this one again and to Orion Pax for providing brown grass stalk pieces.

 

Another note relating the description, the Canada line is not related to the MOC itself, but to the story of a group it was made for. This whole thing is set in Mexico.
