This tank boasts impresive slanted armour plates that are up to half a foot thick, making this tank a monstrous 80 tonnes in weight, its engine is a high powered 2200 horsepower engine that can hold up to 6 hours of fuel for constant movement. The armour uses the same technology seen in the XATMO-5 on a modified level.
As you can see this vehicle is a monster, and a formidable weapon, however its weight has posed a few problems, so the tracks are now extra wide to spread the load over a wider area, thus decreasing the pressure being placed on the ground beneath it.
It requires a six man crew, two turret operators, one driver, one navigator, one gunner and a mechanic. The crew are equipped with AK-47 as standard as well as an HS2000 / Springfield XD handgun.
Considered one of the most durable and powerful tanks in Liberalia the KoResh-8 is a behemoth. The thick armoured plates coupled with the heavy long ranged weaponry make it a formidable weapon. Though not very mobile it is a powerful urban assault vehicle and is suitable for use as a fire support platform. It is now considered obsolete by the SoTro military as its more mobile and better armed successor the KoResh-9 takes the fore as a faster and more powerful vehicle.
Owing to numerous design faults this is now no longer the standard issue battletank of Trodenhiem. Nor is it used by the military anymore. Variants are in existance, used by riot police.
