Descripción

Though many Terrans may disagree, the KN-15 is undoubtedly the greatest main battle tank of the 25th century.On hearing that it uses a conventional propellant-based cannon, many might laugh. Until it turns their puny railgun tanks inside out at 3800 m/s.

The Keranosk (Taurians) were not a particularly advanced race in the 25th century. Though their alliance was still known as the Taurian Arm Alliance, it was clear that Earth was further ahead technologically. Prior to the KN-15 series, no technology in the TAA, Terran or otherwise, could hope to compete with the other major galactic powers.

In the early 25th century (around the year 4900 in the Taurian calendar) Jormunsk Armored Vehicle Academy created a design that they believed would likely be rejected for relying too much on 'primitive' technology. Contrary to expectations of the time, it neither utilized a laser cannon nor a railgun, but a propellant-based cannon, which had not been used in Keranosk vehicles for nearly four centuries. It also utilized a new, specialized type of reactive armor that could react faster (by a few fractions of a second) than any previous Taurian explosive or smart armor. The military was, understandably, suspicious of the figures presented, both in regards to the armor and the firepower of the main cannon, but nonetheless authorized the construction of a prototype of the vehicle, known only as XJAV-15. Surprisingly, the test vehicle's performance was very near the figures presented by its designers, and the gun was far more powerful than even the highly advanced railguns and laser cannons used by the main battle tanks of the Galactic alliance and Titan Industries. The Pressure Reactive Armor, which relied on highly pressurized gases stored inside bricks of titanium backed by small quantities of starheart, proved more than capable of surviving shots from the 20 unit railgun utilized on Titan Industries' CV-45-20, though once the PRA was destroyed, the vehicle became extremely vulnerable. (Acquiring a CV-45-20 to test the armor protection provided by the U1 PRA cost nearly 15 times as much as it cost to produce the XJAV-15 prototype.)

The KN-15-I, the first production variant, was an absolute monster. In the Five-Day War between the TAA and forces splintered from the Neo-Grox, the KN-15-I proved its worth, achieving a spectacular 374 confirmed kills to one destroyed KN-15.

The immediate pre-Incursion variant of the KN-15, the KN-15-II, can mount U3 PRA and possesses a new laser-based active protection system. It possesses a 76.1 oroch (~15 cm) l/80 (~26 foot) propellant-based cannon that can utilize various ammo types for different tasks. The main round utilized by it, the K76-III APFSDS, weighs nearly seventy pounds by Earth measurement, though the penetrator weighs a mere 1.3 pounds. The round has a muzzle velocity of 3795 meters per second, and is capable of turning even the best-armored vehicles inside out at a range of up to 25 miles.

The vehicle is powered by a 3000-horsepower hydrogen-turbine engine, capable of producing 6000 lb-ft of torque at 9000 rpm (with the speed governor enabled). This engine can propel the vehicle to a maximum speed of slightly over 75 kph, though the maximum speed without the speed governor is unknown.

The vehicle contains a four-man (r rather, Keranosk) crew, with the conventional driver, gunner, loader, and commander. The 30 rounds are stored in the rear of the turret in two compartments equipped with blowout panels.

The only reason the KN-15 is the greatest MBT of the 25th century is because the other, more advanced races were too arrogant to consider the possibility of 'primitive' technology like propellant-based cannons having any degree of success against 'advanced' threats.

Good way to make the ERA for a tank

This is one seriously epic tank, the low profile and sleek paint make it feel very futuristic. but the front plow helps it retain a sense of brutality and ruggedness

my dude, tha Aston Martin Valkyrie is one of the hottest hyper car ever!!!!!!! :D and this is also a really hot tank as well!
