The T40 Medium Tank
Weighing in at 40 tons, this unremarkable tank is the basis of three other vehicles and one
variant. A top speed ot 32 kph means it won't be going very far quickly. Armed with only a
Medium Rifle Cannon and 2 machine guns, all customers buying this tank get a free copy of
'Location, Location, Location,' the tankers guide to using cover. Most buyers acquiring this
tank are told in no uncertain terms about the weaknesses, such as not taking any hits from
anything stronger than a medium autocannon. At the very least, a basic fire control system
helps with actually hitting the target, with some crews practicing enough to not need it.
