STRENGTHS

• Sealed: The tank has plenty of systems in place to keep the crew safe and allow them to fight in a variety of environments.
• Versatile: The tank features various powerful weapons, capable of engaging a number of targets, big or small.
• Back door: A ramp built into the back of the tank allows for quick entry and exit of the tank.
• Repulsors: Utilizing repulsorlifts for propulsion, the tank can navigate a variety of terrains very smoothly and easily.

WEAKNESSES

• Coating: The triprismatic polymer coating is only meant to keep its signature low, not to camouflage the tank entirely.
• Unstable: If the tank is destroyed, the reactor and sheer amount of ordnance and ammunition could cause a catastrophic explosion.
• Slow: While the tank is very easy to manoeuvre, the speed is somewhat lacking.
• Cramped: The tank has the capability to fill a number of roles, but the crew and passenger compartment is fairly cramped due to the design and layout.

DESCRIPTION
Along with naval forces, the ground forces of the Confederacy desperately needed a locally produced force to defend their borders. Part of this mobilisation program is the CM-21 Armoured Assault Tank.

Designed with very good armament and survivability, the tank is capable of moving across almost any environment and dish out incredible firepower to cover other forces. The AAT is, for all intents and purposes, the backbone of the Confederate Army, providing soldiers with amazing support and protection in the field.
