The H1-Crown MBT, or Hammer Seires 1 Crown Main Battle Tank, is the result of a joint main battle tank project between Boudiccatech of The United Grand Republic of Kuhlfros and Sverd Industries of The United Federation of Prizyetsa.
Contents
Development
Sverd Industries and the Prizyetsi government was approached by representatives of the Grand Republic of Kuhlfros to design and produce a main battle tank together to benefit the Kuhlfrosian and Kiravian militaries.
"BoudiccaTech had been tasked with the Project to design a new MBT with cooperation from the Kiravian Armenwerke for both the nations of Kuhlfros and Kirav, however both of these companies lacked experience that Sverd Industries carried on its belt in designing these beasts of war, so the CEO of BoudiccaTech went on a limb and requested a joint-project between Sverd and Boudicca, in hopes they say yes and it would be of interest to the Prizyetsi people." -Kuhlfrosian representative
Manufacturing
The H1-Crown MBT is produced in two stages, the first in Prizyetsa and the second in Kuhlfros. The chassis, main gun, and many of the electrical components are produced by Sverd Industries, while the armor and any other extras are applied later in Kuhlfros. This decision was made as a compromise to Northern Union member states which would still allow for the deal between Kuhlfros and the Prizyetsi Federation to continue. An additional concern was that tech from a high tech Prizyetsi main battle tank could fall into the hands of certain LOTA members, an outcome which would be unacceptable.
Production of the H1-Crown takes place at the state of the art Hjarnämonde Assembly Facility in Hjarnämonde, Korrlänn Province Prizyetsa.
Armament
Main Armament: of the H1-Crown is the Siljeborg Metalworks 120mm L/60 smooth-bore tight barrel tank gun. The weapon is fed by an auto-loader allowing the gun to be fired once every three seconds regardless of the gun's angle. The initial round capacity of the auto-loader is fifteen rounds, which is less than many other tanks. The reason for designing the auto-loader this way was to shorten reload times since there is rarely a need to fire more than fifteen rounds in rapid succession. Once the auto-loader's clip is empty, the loader can easily reload it manually. The tank stores up to fifty rounds of ammunition in the following configuration, a round in the chamber, fifteen in the auto-loader and twenty-four rounds in the storage tray aft of the turret.
