Now available in the American folder of the Dropbox, this Gulf War trio includes the late M1128, a highly unconventional mobile armored gun system; and greatly improved M2 Bradley and Abrams TUSK II.

New Schematics Available: K1 and Chonma-215

Now available in the Other folder of the Dropbox, the K1 and Chonma are South and North Korean domestically produced main battle tanks of the 80's, being based on the Abrams and T-72 respectively. For such relatively unpopular and niche tanks, they are both surprisingly performant and pack fairly advanced technologies for the time, particularly the K1.

New Schematic Available: Tortoise

Now available in the British folder of the Dropbox, the Tortoise is a prototyped superheavy assault gun meant for use against defenses of the Siegfried Line.

New Schematic Available: MBT-70

Now available in the American Cold War folder of the Dropbox, the MBT-70/Kpz-70 was an American-German joint project prototype, featuring many pieces of interesting technology. It uses the American 152mm Gun-Launcher hybrid, capable of firing APFSDS, HEAT and ATGMs; and packs a 20mm autocannon for the commander. Germany eventually pulled out of the project due to cost overruns, and the US developed it into the XM803.

New Schematic Available: KV-2

Now available in the Soviet WW2 folder of the Dropbox, the KV-2 is a heavy tank turned armored assault gun, sporting a giant 152mm howitzer which allows it to pummel defensive positions, albeit with a length reload. Only 300 examples were made, but used to great effect, most famously in the Battle of Raseiniai, where one KV-2 held its position against the entire 6th Wehrmacht Panzerdivision for a full day.

New Schematic Available: Panzer VIII Maus

Now available in the German WW2 folder of the Dropbox, the downright mythical Maus is the zenith of superheavy tanks, weighing in at nearly 190 tons and sporting armor no less than 200mm, even on the sides and rear. Only two prototypes were made due to production and design issues during the war.

New Schematic Available: IS-7

Now available in the Soviet WW2 folder of the Dropbox, the IS-7 is a heavy tank developed near the end of the war, famous for its formidable armor and huge 130mm naval-converted gun. The pike nose shape on the hull and aggressively sloped turret make for a frontal profile no thinner than 300mm at any point, enough to easily bounce the German 128mm guns and its own 130mm at up to a kilometer.

New Schematic Available: Tiger I

Now available in the German WW2 folder of the Dropbox, the Tiger I is a heavy tank, the poster child of German armor in the second world war.

New Schematic Available: Jagdtiger

Now available in the German WW2 folder of the Dropbox, the Jagdtiger is a superheavy casemate tank destroyer, the heaviest armored fighting vehicle used in the second World War.

New Schematic Available: T-72B3M

Now available in the Soviet Cold War folder of the Dropbox, the T-72 is an MBT based on the T-64, and is one of the most widely exported tanks in the world. The T-72 also serves as a platform for the T-80 and T-90 tanks, sporting a 125mm autoloaded gun, which is falsely infamous for ammo detonations and cookoffs that send the turret flying.

New Schematic Available: STRV 103

Now available in the Swedish Cold War folder of the Dropbox, the Stridsvagn 103 is a highly unique MBT that was the result of a number of factors coming together at the same time. Data bought from the British showing that most tank kills came from the turret led Swedish engineers to develop a turretless, slim, sleek new wedge-shaped tank, incorporating many new technologies.

New Schematic Available: T29

Now available in the American WW2 folder of the Dropbox, the T29 was a heavy tank based on the T26E3, designed to counter the German King Tiger. The T29 was designed in conjunction with the T30 and would eventually become the T34, each testing the viability of a different caliber gun. The T29 was equipped with the high-velocity 105mm T5E1, which would hopefully enable it to easily penetrate and knock out German armor.

The ingame build features thick turret mantlet armor, even thicker frontal hull armor, and a robust, compact transmission system. The crew ergonomics are spectacular, with plenty of room for three or four crew members.
