Firepower
L50 8.5”/52 Quick-Fire Smoothbore Railgun, 50 degree elevation, 12 degree depression. Rate of fire 10 rounds per minute, firing a variety of projectiles:
8.5” Universal Fin Stabilised: 145 kg projectile, graphene matrix reinforced osmium alloy shell with a tantalum cap and aluminium ballistic cap. Within, a 12 kilogram Octanitrocubane bursting charge around which 2750 wedge shaped tungsten carbide core, high carbon steel fragments and 50 thermobaric-fragmentation submunitions are housed. Each submunition contains 200 grams of Octanitrocubane-Nanothermite filler, steel casing.
The projectile is designed to detonate at a distance from target, upon impact, mid-impact or after impact, with a smart fuse and sensor array, capable of sensing when the round has penetrated the target or when it’s about to. Even if it fails to penetrate the target’s shielding or armour, the sheer weight and velocity will collapse shielding and render enemy vehicles inoperable. The fragmentation is lethal to soft targets out to 270 yards with a blast lethality of 75 yards
8.5” Universal Fin Stabilised Incendiary-Thermobaric: An incendiary variant of the UFS projectile, 135 kg weight, same structural details as previous. Filler consists of 10 kilogram of octanitrocubane, 2 kilogram of thermate thermobaric charge and 2 kilogram of magnesium-aluminium flake mix. Around this, 2200 wedge shaped fragments are housed, a half and half mix of high carbon steel-tungsten carbide core and mild steel-white phosphorous core. Added to this, 50 incendiary-thermobaric submunitions are added, each one containing 100 grams of octanitrocubane, 50 grams of nanothermite and 300 magnesium pellets 4.5mm in calibre.
The projectile is designed to detonate at a distance from target, upon impact, mid-impact or after impact, with a smart fuse and sensor array, capable of sensing when the round has penetrated the target or when it’s about to. Even if it fails to penetrate the target’s shielding or armour, the sheer weight and velocity will collapse shielding and render enemy vehicles inoperable. The fragmentation is lethal to soft targets out to 270 yards with a blast lethality of 90 yards.
8.5” Armour Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot (APFSDS): 95 kg projectile, consisting of a 2.15 inch calibre graphene weave reinforced osmium core dart, with woven graphene petals giving the projectile the fit required to match the calibre of the gun, a tracer variant is available. The ridiculous velocity of this projectile not only makes it unsuitable against most targets out there, save for other fighting vehicles of similar class to that of the Champion and Cerberus series. The impact of the dart tends to cause it to heat the impacted armour along the outer portions of the dart itself, resulting in a shower of molten slugs composed armour and dart material in a cone pattern behind the impacted section, the thicker the armour, the more this effect will be present.
8.5” High-Explosive Thermobaric Fin Stabilised: 105 kg projectile, consisting of a 15mm thick graphene reinforced steel casing. The filler is composed of 30 kg octanitrocubane, 20 kg of thermobaric compound No. 801 (Magnesium flakes, thermate powder, HMX, HTPB.)
The blast wave is observed to be lethal out to 150 yards, with fragmentation lethal out to approximately 200.
8.5” Gun Launched Missile, Hypersonic Long Range Mk. IIA: 125 kg gun launched long range missile, designed to penetrate fortifications, boasting hypersonic speeds on final approach. The missile’s warhead sports a triple charge design, with an initial self-forging projectile type cratering charge, consisting of two kg of octanitrocubane and a tantalum disk. The second charge consists of a thick graphene reinforced osmium casing with 8kg filler (6kg octanitrocubane, 2kg Thermobaric compound No. 801 as discussed previously), the charge is rod shaped to better penetrate through reinforced structures, with a base plate to increase the efficiency of the third warhead’s job to impulse the second warhead through the target’s protection. The third charge consists of 12 kg of octanitrocubane. This missile’s design lends it to anti-structure, anti-fortification and anti-shipping duties, with variable trajectory profiles, from a standard parabolic profile, high-low, surface skimming and ‘plateau’ profiles, where the missile dives down onto the target while still under propulsion.
8.5” Gun Launched Missile, Hypersonic Long Range Mk. IB: 102 kg gun launched missile, designed for anti-armour tasks, boasting hypersonic speeds on final approach. The missile’s design lends itself to anti-armour roles though it’s use in anti-aircraft and anti-personnel is viable. The missile’s warhead sports a triple charge design, with one Self-Forging Projectile Charge and two Shaped Charges. The initial charge consists of two kg of octanitrocubane and a tantalum disk to help penetrate through reactive armour or help crater enemy armour. Second charge consists of 4 kg of Octanitrocubane and a copper liner, designed to help cut an initial path through enemy armour.
The third, and largest charge consists of a Molybdenum-Osmium-Graphene liner with 6 kg of octanitrocubane explosive filler. The missile sports variable trajectory profiles, from a standard parabolic profile, high-low, surface skimming and ‘plateau’ profiles, where the missile dives down onto the target while still under propulsion.
8.5” Short-To-Medium Range Surface-To-Air Missile Canister Mk. IIH: A 80 kg canister, containing a Short-To-Medium Range SAM Canister Mk. IIH, capable of hitting mach 15 speeds, with a heavy 6 kg Octanitrocubane warhead and pre-fragmented tungsten rings. The missile’s high g-force tolerance and hypermanoeuvrability lends it to providing a provisional defence bubble if dedicated air defence is not available, capable of intercepting ballistic threats as well.
8.5” Short-To-Long Range Surface-to-Air Missile Extended Range Canister Mk. I: A 50kg canister containing a range extension booster for the SMR-SAM Mk. IIH canister, capable of increasing the missile’s range by 30%
8.5” Flexible Neutron/Thermonuclear Fin-Stabilised: 106 kg projectile, 120kt to 1.1 megaton blast, airburst capable with an enhanced radiation mode available. A 50kg extended range rocket booster similar to the SLR-SAM-ER Mk. It is available to increase range.
Projectile Propellant: Energy canisters adjustable in charge, with 3 levels of charge (1/3, 2/3, 3/3), each canister having a diameter of 8.5 inches, with a length of 25 inches, variable colour charge indicator allows to set each canister to the release the desired amount of energy (Fluorescent White for 1/3, Fluorescent Green for 2/3 and Fluorescent Orange for 3/3), this allows the gun to work as a howitzer or as a flat-trajectory gun, with 1/3 charge being used to provide indirect fire support for nearby units or launch missiles.

Under the turret, a semi-carousel magazine contains the projectiles and projectile propellant energy canisters for the main 8.5 inch gun, with four levels and a central hoist. The tank’s AI and administrative system allows the crew to choose which rounds go on which level and which section of the carousel they are housed in, with the loader’s task to work in conjunction with the tank’s system to queue up ammunition for burst or sustained fire.
Ammunition load:
