Description
After the downfall of nations, most major corporations have some sort of private military detail under their command to defend their installations, personnel and subsidiaries. However, the corporate militaries, radically fine-tuned to fight low-intensity, urban fourth generation warfare, are an extremely expensive enterprise.
Thus, much of the equipment of defunct national militaries is used and modified to fit the new nature of warfare to fit R&D costs. While not as effective as specifically designed machines, the upgrades to old equipment are cheaper. Consolidated Defense And Resources, an American industrial supercorporation originating in California that controls most of the former US tri-state area and the rust belt, has upgraded the old M1A2 Abrams tanks of the army of its former nation to adapt to this new form of warfare and form the backbone of its relatively small tank force.
Modifications include:
*Stripping most of the armor and lightening of the chassis. The tank is now largely armored by titanium plating ceramic composite blocks and NERA, after having its depleted uranium strike plates removed.
*Replacement of the Honeywell ATG gas turbine with two twin air-cooled three-phase 1210hp electric engines driven by large banks of lithium batteries arranged throughout the tank.
*Upgrading of the turret to be unmanned as well as to include an autoloader for the new 110mm smoothbore ETC gun. Now all crewmembers sit side-by-side in the frontal chassis section.
*Radical upgrading of the tank's C4ISR capabilities to include live-update battlefield networking with units from all branches as well as allied armies.
*Addition of Boomerang and BOSS surveillance systems.
* Replacement of the M2HB with an M312, integration of a CROWS mount.
*Addition of active infrared camouflage.

Military nerd criticism:
*Stripping most of the armor and lightening of the chassis. The tank is now largely armored by titanium plating ceramic composite blocks and NERA, after having its depleted uranium strike plates removed.
But... Why titanium? Steel is stronger by volume.
The side armor seems to be a solid NERA block. What about futuristic EMRA or perhaps NxRA? Also, NERA is significantly worse than ERA.
*Replacement of the Honeywell ATG gas turbine with two twin air-cooled three-phase 1210hp electric engines driven by large banks of lithium batteries arranged throughout the tank.
Bruh. The Abrams be too thicc already. Batteries just add weight. Is bad.
*Upgrading of the turret to be unmanned as well as to include an autoloader for the new 110mm smoothbore ETC gun. Now all crewmembers sit side-by-side in the frontal chassis section.
Ok, but now we must hope the auroloader does not jam, the autoloader does not malfunction, and the turret electronics generally are not compromised.
*Radical upgrading of the tank's C4ISR capabilities to include live-update battlefield networking with units from all branches as well as allied armies.
Nice. This would be p good ngl.
*Addition of Boomerang and BOSS surveillance systems.
Also nice. Would be good to have an APS too.
* Replacement of the M2HB with an M312, integration of a CROWS mount.
Not familiar with this weapon. CROWS comes with TUSK I and II.
*Addition of active infrared camouflage.
Certainly a cool idea. Must be hell to replace though.
