~Report from Strässer~

The 1st SF-Panzer Division "Wolfram" will be recieving a new MBT, only avaliable in the ranks of the 1st SF Division "Wolfram".

The Rheinmetall Coyote 1A2 (SF) boasts features that rival the Heer's latest Leopard variant. The Coyote is armed with a 170mm KwK Z92 autoloading railgun. The Z92 can carry 7 rounds in a drum magazine which takes around 35 seconds to reload. When firing the gun, the delay between the shells is 2 seconds.

Secondary weaponry includes a drum fed 12.7cm machine gun mount which is controlled via the commander inside. 2 tubes containing 2 15cm anti-tank missiles are mounted on the side of the turret. The tubes can be extanded outwards into a firing position. 4 smoke launchers containing 4 smoke grenades each are mounted on the turret too. 2 AT missile launchers are mounted on the turret roof, which can be retracted into the turret when not in combat mode.

The armor is up to 490mm thick on the hull front, 280mm at the side and 200 at the rear. The turret boasts 530mm at the front, 300 at the sides and 290 at the rear (Yevata composite armour). Mobility is provided by a Mercedes-Maybach T-90 2050ho engine. Maximum speed of the vehicle is aprox. 90kph.

The Coyote boasts new defensive and safety features, which include advanced AI which is able to control the turret, main gun, engine and defensive weaponry. The AI limits the crew to only two; a Commander (which can also double as a loader, radio man and other roles when called upon) and a driver.

The turret has many searchlights, view ports, periscopes and radar housings. The headlight mounts are retractable to prevent damage when in hostile situations.

OOC: In progress of writing; if new ideas come to me they will be edited into this post.
