The PA-42t-120-MBT (T[iii]) "Haadman III" is a modernisation of the Haadman MBT, developed throughout the 1980s until its completion in 1987, with the intention of using it within the Frisian Military. It was intended to bring the Haadman platform up to modern standard, upgunning the 105mm L7 to the 120mm L11, and coating it in new composite armour and explosive reactive armour.

The vehicle also received an engine upgrade, making it capable of reaching speeds upwards of 100km/h, making it one of the fastest main battle tanks ever produced, despite its increased weight in comparison to its original variant. Along with this mobility upgrade, the engine deck was expanded, giving it an M60-style hump, and the side skirts were removed to make the tracks more accessible. Furthermore, it received a new cruise control system for usage when travelling in straight lines (though it should be disabled before turning).

New computer systems were installed, and the fire control system was improved, with a new set of digital optics for the commander and gunner being implemented, as well as a radar warning receiver, composite jammer to hinder off drones and radio-guided missiles, and an auto-chaff system to shake off radar-guided missiles. It also received an additional 2 smoke grenades, plus a roof-mounted smoke mortar for the commander, and a semi-automatic loading system that sped up the loader's duties.

The Haadman III was invariably made more capable than its ancestors, the Haadman I and Haadman II, and now it awaits the right hands to wield it.


The engine is started from the small box on the back. You will have to rotate the turret out of the way to use the driver's hatch, or you can enter/exit through the fighting compartment. The vehicle should be fully capable of taking battle cannon shells, and maybe artillery (although it is not tested with such). The composite jammer and RWR controls are found in the commander's position. The cruise control should be turned off before turning.

A version with decreased subgrids for usage in multiplayer will be published soon.
