OVERVIEW:
The Po Heavy Tank is the backbone of Capellan Tank units. Since
the design originally entered production after the end of the Fourth
Succession War Ceres metals has sold divisions worth of the design to
the Capellan military, and has exported thousands more to the Free
Worlds League. The design was popular because it was effective on
the battlefield and easy to maintain even under adverse conditions.
In 3059 Chancellor Sun-Tzu Liao ordered Ceres to begin work on a
modernized version of the Po. The success of the Chancellor's drive
into the Federated Commonwealth's Sarna march meant that the
Capellan State's revenues had expanded considerably, enabling the
Capellan military to undertake a long overdue program of
modernization.
CAPABILITITES:
The Po Mark II sports 10.5 tons of Ceres Ferro-Fibrous armor. The
autocannon 10 was replaced with Ceres' newly designed LB-10X and
an anti-missile system was mounted to provide additional defense
against the SRMs so often used to disable a tank's critical systems.
The Mark II retains the original Po's Maxi Mini machine guns for point
defense.

Nice tank. I'd drive it. Also like the triple topic post I like the upgrade to armaments and armor. I haven't really looked into the mounting of an AMS on a conventional unit, but after seeing this I'll be altering several designs I've got lying about. _________________ If ignorance is bliss, then why are you so miserable?

Looks good. Cheap too.
This version seems to meet all of the requirements of the old (being just a little more expensive) and still be a better vehicle. Good job mud.
Now where can i get a few battalions of these...
