XM2 Khabib

The XM2A3 Khabib was an Inner Sphere Alliance main battle tank based on its predecessor, the XM1 Thumper. It was the center of the April 23rd Khabib Controversy after it was found to be equipped with a number of exploits and illegal technologies that enhanced its combat ability beyond what was normally possible by legal tanks during its time. 
== History ==
=== Development ===
Very little is known about the initial development of the XM2, but it is presumed it was produced to supplement or replace the XM1 Thumper in frontline combat during the parting days of the Seven Months' War.
One of the most illegal tanks in ACF combat history. It was able to rip through any legal tank with ease. Some people have called it an "Exploit pack" because of how many exploits were needed to get to it's level, and because of Pravo's stealing and leaking of the Khabib, which shortly got revealed on IZK's video, "Hypocrisy".
== Design ==
=== Overview ===
The XM2 Platform used exploits that were both commonly known and ones that were never seen before. Although aspects of it were legal, the majority was not.
Some examples of these techniques include:
* Prop not solid ammo / armor 
* Anti flip E2
* E2 mobility (applyForce())
* Visclipped wheels
* Automatic engagement RWS with autolead
* Fire support mode, able to turn main gun into high angle artillery piece
* Able to launch a fire support drone, which can scan for targets, relay targeting data to allies, and shoot down enemy aircraft
=== Engines and Mobility ===
It can be argued that the XM2's strongest weapon is its mobility, as it allows for a much more flexible play style.
The Khabib is powered by a powerful e2 mobility chip , hidden in the chip "Cam Controller" in the XM2. It allowed for speeds that were simply not possible with ACF engines.
=== Armament ===
The XM2 is armed with the strongest loadout ever attached to an ISAF vehicle, with a 140mm Auto-loading Cannon. The XM2 also used an exploit which allowed for no reload whatsoever on it's autoloader. It's secondary weapon was a universal use 30mm Heavy Rotary Auto-cannon with, once again, no reload, and a tank launched fire support drone armed with a 40mm heavy machine gun.
=== Armor ===
The XM2 used entirely propNotSolid() armor, a relatively new exploit, to be almost entirely invulnerable. Along with it's armament, it was incredibly hard, if not impossible, to defeat.
