OOC: B & K is just the name. It's like how companies in Japan make everything.

IC:

The test crew finds the tank very comfortable and well spaced, besides a general lack of hull height it is very spacious and comfortable to work in, the tank displays unparalleled mobility with a road speed of 80 kph, which is odd because B & K rated it for 65 kph... Off road maneuvers are easily executed and maneuverability is stellar. While the LFP of the vehicle isn't anything special, other zones of armour, particularly the upper frontal plate are very good. However, this was the prototype, after the crew testing was done B & K proceeded to demonstrate extensive destructive tests. Such as firing a 155mm rail gun into the front of the vehicle at all requested points. Suprisingly, it was found that despite the fact the UFP was made out of steel it was IMMUNE to railguns that would normally down a T-5B. Unfortunately this is due to having a ridiculous slope that tends to send rounds into the turret face. The crew states that

"the previous Challenger 3 series would stand no chance to this tank and that any mentally functional personnel would chose the Number 17 over the Challenger".

Indeed in simulated exercises the Number 17 Prototype slaughtered an armored COMPANY.

B & K seems to be far more timid on the matter, only stating

"the Number 17 appears to be superior to the previous Challenger in speed, armor, firepower, mobility, and crew comfort. It is advised that they are properly supported and more pre production models run through more destructive tests to ensure statisfactory combative capabilities."
