Description The final series of the VB developed Land Battleships. This land battleship in particular is used in many unusual ways of how a land battleship should be used. The VB-LB10 is in fact fitted with a modified kastuya rocket launcher railings into the rear of the chassis. Which is also retractable. Intended to be used also as heavy supporting fire for all of its allies! And also this vehicle is in fact the first ever rocket artillery to be ever made by the M.S. Empire!
This tank is greatly inspired by the KV-6, tho the chassis of the VB-LB10 is much larger than the KV-6's

The Repossessor! this name was suggested and belongs Gunnergoat!

Mounts a 125mm gun, which is used to be fitted in front of the VB-LB5 Land Battleship which i humbly gave to my Allied country Aliston, their Prime Minister, Gunnergoat!
Along with two heavily-armored turrets housing 20mm cannons, also having a remote-controlled .50cal mg on top of the turret
With two 89mm rapid-firing high-velocity guns, combining with one 76mm guns on each side, along with one 20mm cannons on each side as well.
Adding a bit of firepower into this tank by mounting a Katsuya rocket launcher which is able to unleash a volley of rockets causing mass destruction even on heavily armored and defended fortifications.
Equipped with complex systems, which often causes problems, but still functional
Also being equipped with three 1,000 gas-turbine diesel engines for maximum mobility

This tank had also participated in the Big Projects program, with its "little" brother, the VB-LB5
Even if project Strika had been immediately cancelled, the Military sought out into a new alternative design the VB-LB10, being amazingly impressed by many Generals. With its absurd smaller size and profile, compared to the VB-LB5. They were mainly impressed with how it is fitted with retractable rocket launching rails. And was mainly intended to lead a massive assault against the enemy. And can also lead another role as a long-range rocket artillery support! And so was awarded a contract for development, which started in the late 1943. The whole layout was finished in just 5 months, but had many problems and so the problems had been resolved in 10 months, due to its sheer complexity. And only one prototype had been built, but never saw service because it's development finished too late, right when the war had ended. And so the VB-LB10 which the M.S. Empire had decided to ship the tank, into a large transport ship of ours into one of Aliston's Tank Museums!

The rocket calliope pretty much obstruct the turret from traversing 180° from the front to the sides

No the turret can turn 360 degrees, once it retracts the rocket calliope to the inside of the vehicle.
