Description

Arabosa-VII Heavy Tank
"Don't stop firing until the enemy's dead, or you are." -Passage from an Accordite Armor Crew training manual.
The former main line tank of the Accord and widely used during the Great War, the Arabosa-VII was produced in such staggering numbers that billions still exist even twenty years after the war. Today, many are found either with reserve units or sold to well-behaved private Accordite citizens (at a marked up price) for use in recreational activities. The rest are being converted for use as other-purpose vehicles such as the Lacia-II DSV or the Kaledor-III MLRS.
Specifications
Tracked Vehicle
Crew: 4 (Commander, Gunner, Loader, Driver)
Weight: 70 tonnes
Speed: Moderate
Maneuverability: Moderate
Armaments:
    -150mm Smoothbore Main Cannon (50 rounds)
    -15mm Coaxial Machine Gun (1000 rounds)

Lacia-II Direct Support Vehicle
"Hah! This girl'll give those damn marionettes something to fear!" -Anonymous Accordite Tanker.
A relatively new design first tested and proven in the burning ruin of the Great War, the Direct Support Vehicle has a single job that it does well; to support the proper tanks and provide invaluable support to infantry units in urban enviroments. As such, it was designed from the ground up with an emphasis to destroy soft targets and assets while having some mild capabilities of destroying harder targets such as bunkers and enemy tanks.
The Lacia series vehicle was first mounted with a gatling cannon but it was found to run out of ammunition far too quickly for the rigors of a prolonged battle. As such, the new vehicle carries two 40mm autocannons in its wake, one always loaded with HEF and the other with AP-I. Modernized designs include the capability to track and fire on flying targets, both fast flyers and slow flyers, effectively allowing the Lacia-series to act as SPAAG.
Specifications
Tracked Vehicle
Crew: 3 (Commander, Gunner, Driver)
Weight: 75 tonnes
Speed: Moderate
Maneuverability: Moderate
Armaments:
    -x2 40mm Autocannon (HEF, HEI, API) (x1000 rounds)
    -200mm ADATS/Airburst Rocket (Max x8)
    -x1 40mm Grenade Launcher (x200 rounds)
    -x1 8mm Coaxial Machine Gun (x1000 rounds)

Kaledor-III Multiple Launch Rocket System
"The only thing that'll match a Kaledor is another Kaledor!" -Common Kaledor-III Crewman's Boast.
A retrofit variant of the Arabosa-VII, the Kaledor-III is built to act as both MLRS and ADATS launcher platform. Built with some modularity in mind, the Kaledor-III's payload is divided into four pods that can be swapped depending on requirements. As such, it is designed to be able to carry either 36 ADATS missiles, 36 airburst rockets, or 4 nuclear hot-fusion rockets. It also has an optional tracking computer module that can be fitted with use for their ADATS missiles, allowing the vehicle to both directly and remotely track up to 36 targets simultaneously--and let loose all its payload in less than half a minute to destroy entire enemy units.
New considerations were brought up with the anti-ballistic missile technology and it came down to the House of Stanford to produce a working silo and computer system for it. At some point in its development, a Stanford technician asked his team how many enemy missiles can be tracked at once. One "challenge accepted" and budget raise later, a new computer module package can be installed to the Kaledor-III to be capable of simultaneous tracking and neutralizing of 256 enemy missiles.

Crew: 3 (Commander, Driver, Gunner)
Weight: 75 tonnes
Speed: Moderate
Maneuverability: Moderate
Armaments:
    -200mm ADATS (Max x36)

Arabosa-VIII Heavy Tank
"This tank is equipped with electrostatic hover, rather than conventional treads... it means she can't go underwater but nothing beats her sprinting speed on land." -Chief Armorer Horatius on the new tank design.
The lineholder of the Accord Kingdom, this newfound yet trusted design has been fitted with the newly-developed Mark-II Hypervelocity Mass Driver. First deployed during the Great War, the vehicle saw limited ability against their superior foe, but still managed to make the enemy pay for every loss the Accordites took.
Today, they act as the "defensive" tank of the two tank lines the Accord features. While of rather basic technological design (outside of straight-applied Puppeteer technology) compared to Ancerious contemporaries, it is still a powerful design built to win a war of attrition.
Specifications
Hover Vehicle
Crew: 4 (Commander, Gunner, Loader, Driver)
Weight: 100 tonnes
Speed: Moderate-Fast
Maneuverability: Moderate-Good
Armaments:
    -150mm Mass Driver Main Cannon (x50 rounds)
    -15mm Coaxial Mass Driver Multi-Purpose Weapon (x1000 rounds)

Ludenrof-IV Light Tank
"The only thing you'll see from me is my shadow and my shell." -482nd Armored Recon Division's Motto.
The original Ludenrof Light Tank designs were neglected when it was realized that one could not outspeed a high-velocity round, and the thin armor of the light tank class made it prey to weaponry of heavier caliber. This changed when the obsoleted Ludenrof-III design was recalled into service following the first major land defeats in the Great War. While it could have never taken a solid hit from an enemy tank, its mobility and usage as a recon vehicle redeemed is usage in the eyes of the Accord Military.
Today, it retains its recon role but has been extensively upgraded to double as a fast-hitting anti-convoy vehicle as well as for protection details for friendly convoys and rear guard actions.
Specifications
Hover Vehicle
Crew: 3 (Commander/Gunner, Loader, Driver)
Weight: 40 tonnes
Speed: Fast
Maneuverability: Good
Armaments:
    -90mm Mass Driver Main Cannon (x50 rounds)
    -10mm Coaxial Mass Driver Multi-Purpose Weapon (x1000 rounds)

Lacia-III Direct Support Vehicle
"Everything you want in the Lacia-II, in a new, modernized package." -Lacia-III information tagline.
As a result of the massive positive feedback from armored crew who had operated the Lacia-II DSV, it was put into motion to match the Lacia Upgrade Package to the Ludenrof-IV Light Tank. Though this version has yet to be proven on the battlefield, operators of the Lacia-II who have received this new vehicle have few criticism to return, as the Ludenrof-IV already boasts the equivalent armor to the Arabosa-VII and has a far higher top speed to boot. In addition to the hover chassis, the Lacia-III has been given a tracking package similar to the one found on the Kaledor-III MLRS, greatly enhancing its ability to track airborne projectiles, missiles and vehicles, while also enhancing the autocannons of the vehicle, allowing it to accept new types of ammunition for dedicated anti-aircraft roles.
Specifications
Tracked Vehicle
Crew: 3 (Commander, Gunner, Driver)
Weight: 45 tonnes
Top Speed: Fast
Maneuverability: Good
Armaments:
    -x2 40mm Autocannon (HEF, HEI, API, MPAA, PELE) (x1000 rounds)
    -200mm ADATS/Airburst Rocket (Max x8)
    -x1 40mm Grenade Launcher (x200 rounds)
    -x1 8mm Coaxial Machine Gun (x1000 rounds)

Dolonus-II Tank Destroyer
"Give us a target and we'll see to it that it'll be killed." -Anonymous Accordite Tanker.
The result of several Accordite engineers and military analysts searching through the public databanks of the Ancnet, many members of the Accordite Marshall's Committee voted to build a new, eight-legged mech-type vehicle for the use of engaging enemy vehicles and structures at extreme ranges. Somewhere down the road, an engineering team had the idea of applying the electrostatic hover technology to the feet of this design. The end result is an eight-legged spider mech armed with a massive 250mm Mass Driver with a top speed comparable to the Arabosa-VIII, completely defying previous conventions of the slow, ponderous mech, though the Dolonus-II is considerably more fragile than the Arabosa heavy tank.
Specifications
Mech Vehicle
Crew: 5 (Commander, Gunner, Loader x2, Driver)
Weight: 250 tonnes
Speed: Moderate-Fast
Maneuverability: Moderate
Armaments:
    -x1 250mm Mass Driver (x40 rounds)
    -x1 15mm Mass Driver Multi-Purpose Cannon (x1000 rounds)
