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.
T-62 is an old, yet usable medium tank once designed to reach the English Channel during the Cold War. Even afer half-century after its introduction, it continues to be used by Russia and some other countries, most recently - during the War in Georgia (2008) where it even destroyed several Georgian T-72s.
In Rogue Republic multiplayer T-62 is available as a "medium tank" and as one of several Carpathia's tanks in the campaign.
Umm, it was the T-64 that was meant to reach the English Channel. The T-62 is just a T-55 with a slightly larger turret, but it costs almost twice as much to make.
Also I think it was the T-64 that was used in Georgia.
That sounds about right actually.
