Description
The vanguard of the Republic's armored forces, the M51 would become the tank that would turn the tables on the armored war in favor of the Republic.
This tank was designed to alleviate the stormy production of the M48 Rhino, the Republic's new heavy tank that had presented enormous challenges and challenges in its manufacture, but whose technological advances helped the design of the M51.
Conceived as a more direct replacement and evolution of design to the outdated M82, its final design and production would be entrusted to Sondor Heavy Industries, a corporation specialized in the production of armored vehicles and high resistance articles, which would win the contract by presenting the option more balanced.
Despite its advantages in production, its entry into the war would take a few months as it had a short contract time at the outbreak of the conflict (3 months), so the numerous M82 and heavy M48 Rhino almost finished would enter combat from the first day.
To the relief of the Republic, in a few months a few thousand M51s in their 2 versions would be ready, ready to replace the M82s in the front line and be an unpleasant surprise to the worn-out invading forces.
FEATURES:
The most notable feature of the M51 is its four independent tracks, this allows it to have greater speed and mobility in disadvantageous environments than the M82, as well as greater survivability in the event of a track incapacitation. Failed prototypes of this form had previously been seen in some nations, but more than 10 years' advancement of the M48 Rhino managed to provide the definitive design for this Tracked system.
Likewise, the design of its turret would be distinctive of this model, which has a highly curved shape that allows it to withstand a large amount of damage to its frontal armor, making it almost unbeatable. For its defense on the flanks, it has anti-missile and anti-projectile systems, as well as shock absorbers (although its armor is generally quite resistant).
Thanks to its track system, its maximum speed is 130 km/h on the road and 110 km/h in the field, reaching that speed in just 7 seconds.
The M51 has 2 versions, the M51A PUMA which is the most balanced in terms of functions, since it can defend itself against enemy tanks or aerial vehicles at low altitude and annihilate enemy infantry, while the M51B Jaguar is a heavier version that can be specializes in an anti-tank role. The M51 Puma would be the default model and the most widespread due to its strategic advantage.
It has 3 crew members, the commander, the tank gunner and the driver.

ARMAMENT:
M114 BA: A lightly magnetized gun, it is the main weapon of the M51A. Manufactured in an agreement between Coraq and Rheinmetall, it is a weapon with a long history in the Republic. This version features a lightweight magnetic acceleration system that puts the M51 ahead of its enemies in both range and power.
In addition to its assisted aiming and digital mapping systems, it has 3 types of ammunition for a more versatile function: HEAT, for short-medium distance tank combat, SABOT, for long distance combat, and HE, to attack outposts. infantry.
M56 MAG: A triple-barreled machine gun, it is a powerful weapon initially designed as an anti-aircraft weapon due to its high rate of fire and penetration, but it also works as an anti-infantry weapon.
Produced by Coraq, it is a widely used weapon in the different branches of the Republic due to its flexibility and power.
FGR 143: Simple in design but complex in technology, this missile launcher functions as the tank's anti-air defense, firing precise guided missiles in the face of enemy helicopters and drones. Both this weapon and the M56 MAG are in the hands of the tank commander, although it can also be left to the control of an AI or the tank gunner.
M25 TD: Classic light machine guns of the Republic, they provide a great anti-infantry function due to their high rate of fire.
