The CT-120 Olifant Main Battle Tank is a Carsodonian MBT which has served apart of Carsodonia as well as New Carsodonia now. The design being entirely domestically made, the CT-120 has fought in two conflicts on Kolus and has yet to be exported to other nations.
Mk I Origins
The CT-120 was a new design, and factory built Domestically. The first "Olifant" were built from scratch of of domestic designs that were requested by the Carsodonian Armed Forces at the time, Something to fill the roll of their heavy MBT that could be on par with other nations of the world. These vehicles sported nothing but a M1 Abrams Turret, and a chassis mounted Vulcan 20mm. The Carsodonians, in the Wuste Civil War supplied the Pro-Carsodonian Rebels with some Mk I CT-120's as to test their capabilities in combat to further improve the tank as well as get some combat history under its belt, The Rebels reported success with the tank when facing other vehicles but seemed to have some problems in defense against infantry shoulder-launched, anti-tank rocket-propelled grenades and the secondary Vulcan 20mm couldn't swing to the sides to engage in urban locations. The Mk I continued to serve as the Main Battle Tank without any upgrades for the rest of Carsodonia's lifespan, the Tank did engage Nuvalkan mercenaries during the Carso-Nuva border skirmish, but the skirmish was not long lived and only lasted a couple days. The last use of the Mk I was in the Carsodonian Civil War when Carsodonia proper collapsed after the death of King Tiberius, a power vacuum was created and a big power struggle ensued leading to many sides fighting against one another and the CT-120 was used extensively by a few factions with the war.
