The Rommel MBT was a research achievement set in early 2018, lead by several conclusions about anti-tank rounds, armor effectiveness vs. HESH rounds (Spalliners) , spinblock armor use in autoloader casings, and loading speed of shells vs. ammunition arrangement and size.
Since 'Mech production was nearly at a standstill, the ability to produce and field armored vehicles became a necessity if the RSC (Red Star Conglomerate) was to provide a backbone to their defending armies.
Initial battlefied reports indicated a huge possibily to push back invading forces of the Coneezean Empire, if the new tank could defeat T-72E-2B MBT's , using a base design that could be upgraded in later processes of retrofitting.
This tank was kept secret most of the year 2018, until it was no longer top of the line (!), at which point the war ended (I retired from the Discord community).


With its main weapon being the brutal and immensely powerful 462mm rail-assisted autocannon, the Rommel is best suited to close range and medium range fighting, where its heavy gun can be put to excellent use. A Rommel may try to flank an enemy and then use its devastating armament to cripple or destroy a tank when it comes into view. The main advantage the Rommel has over other, older designs is a combination of higher speed and more armor. With even more armor than a Morrigu/Demolisher/Palladium tank, the Rommel can sustain more punishment, yet slip away faster to fight again from another position.
The ATGM Long Range Missle-4 System allows it to keep fighting while retreating to another position. If attacked by infantry, or as a last resort, the tank commander can aim a single Small Laser on a 360 degree gimbal.

Altough the M14A1 wasn't fully in service when the war ended, it can be retrofitted many more times in the future to defeat other modern designs.
The rear backplate was reinforced with Heavy armor (~), the missile system was changed to a more self-sufficient LRM-4 (~) and the turret rear and AI compartment were reinforced (~).
Rumor has it that the diesel engine may or may not come from somewhere else, though it is hardly any bigger than the AI compartment at the front, provides a needed power boost to the shield and main systems.
