T-12C "Basilic" Main Battle Tank

Anti Air Variant Here!

The T-12C "Basilic" is the first Main Battle Tank (MBT) produced by Ikuyo Aerospace Industries. Following feedback received on the field deployments of the LT-120, the Next-Generation Armored Warrior (NGAW) program was started with the aim of creating a highly durable, survivable, and independently operable combat vehicle. Featuring the LT-120's single 120mm Smoothbore cannon with an effective firing range of 1.4km, the Basilic also incoporates a coaxial 25mm machine gun and 40mm anti-aircraft turret capable of providing an effective fighter screen for the vehicle. The T-12C is now entering mass production and has been approved for civilian and private sale - get yours today!

• 1x 120mm Smoothbore Gun: 1.4km maximum firing range.
  
• 1x 25mm Coaxial Rotary Gatling Gun: 800m maximum firing range.
  
• 2x 40mm Anti-Air Autocannons: 800m maximum firing range.

• All Environments: Capable of operating virtually anywhere owing to tracked drive system, the T-12C is rated for a 45 degree hill climb in 1G, and can go up to 75 degrees with thruster augmentation.
  
• Cheap and Easily Maintainable: The T-12C uses simple, early-game components to fabricate and even it's relatively expensive composite armor does not need to be fully completed to be effective. Comes with two seperate repair projectors for the turret and the hull.
  
• Battery Powered: Most armored vehicles utilize nuclear power - the T-12C, like most Ikuyo Aerospace vehicles instead utilizes highly redundant and extremely cheap battery power - capable of over 21 hours of driving and utilizing connectors to recharge from any compatible dock.
  
• Highly Armed and Armored: The T-12C is made entirely of rolled homogenous armor and will readily absorb autocannon, gatling and rocket fire from most angles. The front is especially well armored with composites and is typically capable of surviving 2-3 assault cannon shots or a single railgun shot with minimal damage.
  
• Survival Ready: Fully plumbed and survival ready. Multiple sub grids are present, but all are fairly simple to build (although you really should just use the sub grid projector mod).

• PCU: 4755
  
• Block Count: 735
  
• Non-Armor Blocks: 335
  
• Triangles: 312,456
  
• Grid Mass: 87,342kg
  
• Lifting Capacity: 100+ rounds of Assault Cannon Ammo. 1000+ rounds of Autocannon Ammo.

Whiplash141's TCES (Turret Controller Enhancement Script) is included by default to automatically stabilize the gun while driving and makes a huge difference in taking moving shots. Whip's Skid Steering is used for driving the road wheels and the tank will not function properly without it. Additionally Automatic LCDs II and SIMPL are used for ship displays.

This ship is vanilla and only uses a number of DLCs for cosmetics.

The T-12C is my first serious attempt at a main-battle tank and i'm fairly happy with how it turned out. It's definitely a bit on the heavy side but well armored and puts up a serious fight against most threats. While the LT-120 excelled against armored threats, it was incredibly vulnerable to drones and fighters owing to poor cannon elevation, so I created this to help defend against fighters too. I attempted to make this as easy to build in survival as possible, and with my ship printer setup I can churn out one of these in about 2 minutes including assembling the subgrids.
Final Note, the turret is incapable of turning 360 degrees owing to the small half block hump on the rear of the tank. This can easily be removed and adds virtually no armor but i thought it looked cool and the tank actually rotates faster than the turret turns anyways.

Tank Track Pack: Morue was used for screenshots but is not necessary for vehicle function!
This build was heavily inspired by the Magnetar Industries Taipan MBT - check it out here!

I'm always open to suggestions or ideas so please let me know if you have any! This is the MBT I promised when I released the LT-120, but I plan on converting the basic chassis into an anti-air platform as well as potentially releasing a railgun variant.
