T-2 Savage
Introduction
The T-2 Savage Heavy\Main Battle Tank is a land combat system featuring an impressive array of weaponry and was designed by Phoenix Dynamix for The Phoenix Milita's army.
Weapons
The T-2 Savage Heavy Main Battle Tank features a 140mm Main Cannon (derived from but not identical to the T-1 Scorpion's main weapon), but it has heavier armor, and more missiles. Also an all new 6 barrel 56mm gatling gun( based on the T-01 VelociRaptor's 3 barrel cannon) is located in a separate top turret. The 56mm cannon was chosen over the M-14 Assault Vehicle's 4 barrel 30mm cannon during the original testing phase.Most production models featured the 56mm gatling cannon of the original specifications, however with the development of a ground based 6 barrel 30mm gatling cannon, a number of newer Savage tanks had their 56mm cannons replaced with the 6 barrel 30mm cannons. Ironically 3 and 5 barrel 56mm cannons have now been installed on some later models in an attempt to retain the heavy hitting, rapid firing 56mm capabiliy.
Engine
The 2000hp PD XM-2000 Diesel-Electric Hybrid was designed for the T-2 and features a fuel cell battery back up. It was chosen as the preferred powerplant for the T-2. It should be noted that some models featuring the T-1's XM-1700 were produced and sold for a time, and even a few featuring the unique XM-1760 Gas-Turbine were built.
