OOC: I don't think your proposal will be as such a ghood idea. For one, mountaing a 155 naval gun (which the AIF does not have to my knowledge) would be too large. The AIF's doctrine for two main battle tanks is one to effectively engage more advanced hostile armored vehicles (Though we don't have knowledge on their armor), and one that can combat lighter main battle tanks and provide heavy fire for infantry units until an IFV can be developed. Designing a gun that will fire a laser, normal munitions, and rockets is cost ineffective, and a waste of resources instead of building a dedicated anti-tank vehicle.

Although we are on the topic, the AIF uses standard munitions seen on other vehicles suchg as Armor Piercing rounds with different ballistic caps, Sabot rounds, HEAT, HESH, etc. though exotic types may not be used.

To add to the AIF tank doctrine, lasers and normal rounds are being phased out in favor of railgun-type weaponry.

Current armor composites are based on, and slightly improved Leopard 2s, which was one of the AIF's main batte tanks until it was phased out in favor of the current Challenger 3 model.

I will provide more information, or Kevin can correct me/fill you in with more ijnformation, but I am busy at the moment.
