T-1E Arma

The T-1E Arma emerges as the vanguard of next-generation warfare, a testament to Savihm Tank Plant's relentless pursuit of technological supremacy. Born from the revolutionary Arma Tank Platform program, this tank shatters conventions with its unmanned turret and streamlined crew configuration, heralding a new era of combat superiority.
The Arma was designed over the course of five years, and features a number of innovative features, including an unmanned turret. The crew of two, which consists of the driver and commander that also works as a gunner is seated in an armoured capsule in the front of the hull, which will also include a toilet for the crew.
Despite its initial hype and advanced design, the T-1E Arma faced harsh realities when deployed to the battlefield. While the unmanned turret successfully spared the crew from direct danger, its performance fell short of expectations in actual combat scenarios. The tank's combat effectiveness was compromised by a combination of factors, including mechanical failures, visibility limitations, and inadequate armor protection.
== Overview ==
Embodied in the sleek silhouette of the T-1E Arma is a paradigm shift in tank design. The unmanned turret stands as a beacon of innovation, redefining crew safety by eliminating the need for personnel within the turret itself. With only two crew members ensconced within the fortified confines of the hull, the Arma achieves unprecedented levels of crew protection without compromising operational efficiency.
At the heart of the T-1E Arma lies the awe-inspiring 2ER-8 cannon, a marvel of destructive power and precision. Equipped with an advanced autoloading mechanism, this formidable weapon system ensures blistering rates of fire, unleashing devastation upon adversaries with relentless ferocity. The synergistic integration of the unmanned turret and autoloading system grants the Arma unparalleled combat agility and lethality on the battlefield.
The T-1E Arma stands as a fortress against the tide of enemy aggression, fortified by cutting-edge armor technologies. Through the innovative application of Jorkalli ceramic and modular 445-EX Steel plating, this tank achieves an unrivaled level of resilience against kinetic and explosive threats. Engineered for adaptability and survivability, the Arma's armor design sets a new standard for battlefield protection, ensuring the tank's dominance in the face of adversity.
The tank's armor provides a high level of protection against a variety of threats, including kinetic penetrators and explosive projectiles. Evalka's engineers have employed advanced composite materials and modular armor design to maximize survivability on the battlefield.
== Trivia ==
=== General ===
*The Arma was designed to be the blueprint for the next generation of main battle tanks. Unfortunately, it was a prototype and it took centuries for the design to be refurbished and refined for military and paramilitary use.
*Despite promises of rapid projectile loading and increased rate of fire, the autoloader frequently experienced malfunctions and breakdowns in combat conditions. Crews reported frequent jamming and misfeeds, severely hampering the tank's combat effectiveness and undermining confidence in its reliability.
*The T-1E Arma soon became a mainstay among the Communist Defence Pact throughout the Futureline war.
*Surprisingly, the Corporate Renegades has a large supply of Arma tanks.
*The tank's combat effectiveness was compromised by a combination of factors, including mechanical failures, visibility limitations, and inadequate armour protection.
*The reactive armour is integrated in the tank's steel armour and not attached like most conventional MBTs.
*The disappointing performance of the T-1E Arma underscored the importance of balancing innovation with practicality and reliability in armored vehicle design. However, it seems to be addressed a thousand years later which explains the renegades using it for armoured warfare.
*An unfortunate fact is that the Arma was used more often through the Societas Renegare over the actual Evalk Army.
