My idea for a very Taurian Milita tank. Something cheap, something effective, something that is only in accordance with the Aries Conventions because they couldn't fit a nuke on it! }:)

Meant to be competition for the likes of the Bulldog, the Po, and the Rommel/Patton Axel series in the for reasonably priced Low End Heavy ICE driven Battle Tank market.

If you don't mind, I am going to link to This Thread, just so it doesn't get lost when these theads inevitably diverge.
Saying that because the equipment isn't up-to-the-minute, bleeding-edge tech therefore not a threat is like saying an M2 Browning isn't dangerous to modern infantry because it is 100 years old.

I'd say go with the anti Rommel line of thinking, use it like a super Vedette, good hitting power at range, really useful against aircraft and vehicles.
