No one can ascertain the current Earth year (or if there is still Earth at all), so we start the count from Vostorg-7 year 0. This year marked the arrival of a joint Russian-Chinese colonization probe on Vostorg-7, a probe dispatched a very long time ago - in the early 21st century of Earth. After a long interstellar odyssey, it finally reached the unforgiving yet potentially habitable planet. The initial dreams of forging a unified spaceborne human nation were soon abandoned, as differing visions for utopian societies took root. Instead, seven independent human colonies emerged from the cosmic dust. While most of these colonies succumbed to rapid deterioration, with their inhabitants mutating into otherworldly beings or descending into feral lifestyles amidst Vostorg-7's unforgiving terrain, two colonies stood out as bastions of Man’s determination - the Derzhava and the Planet Cult.

Very interesting design.
After all those C&Cs it's pretty unusual to see plasma weapon wielding tank not as a slim and glass like tank, but a Frankebstein's BTR on steroids.
But it looks really nice.
I suppose this jet enjine thingy on the back is something of plasma generators?
If it is will it make an epic explosion after destruction?
And will we get sci-fi things from Rashka too like real-existed soviet laser tank, or it will stay in it's typical industrial style?
Do you mean this one?

Exactly. Soviet union made a lot of exotic and perspective things that have never got their chance to exist. Thanks to Gorbachev.
The goal is to keep it between realism and futu. Around now and 20~ years. it is aswell faction deppending europe will have more futu assets than IM. RU will likely be the average between futu and real. and yes those on the back are plasma generators :)
Nice. Though, even without taking into account its plasma weaponry, it looks like a bitch to build and assemble.
To Tom Drake!
Plasma tank? Like flame tank or what?
Well, it would be a mean long/medium range superheated flamethrower. Plasma technology is already used on underwater welding, so your idea wouldmake perfect sense.
Could also be a plasma disk launcher a la C&C3, wich was an AT/AA weapon.
Looks nice, 3 cheers!
Well, this can only bring one thing to my mind. TESLA TANKS. Will there be Tesla tanks? I want Tesla tanks.
This is actually a good suggestion, A Tesla Deathray Artillery/AA/Anti-missile Mobile Weapons System, that looks like the more industrial RA1 model.
mode C&C (The End of Days)
really very nice
I feel like the plasma cannon is too small. Aside from that, lovely concept.
It looks too futuristic for the current RR setting :).
