Augustus-99 (Premysloides Dynasty)

Background
Most produced Main Battle Tank and very effective imperial weapon during Second Pan-European War. Designed as new generation of armoured warfare after Augustus-85 and prototype, or small-scale produced Augustus-89 and Alexander-93 and Alexander-93/2.

In 1694, Supreme Imperial Command demanded new main battle tank for Imperial Army that will enforce Imperial Armoured Troops and expand their battle capabilities.

Three contestants presented their drafts: Imperial Arsenal Armoured Bureau, Palaiologos Technical Armament Company and Arkhangelsk Armament Design Office. Palaiologos plan was very similar to previous light and infantry tanks and only expanded armour. Arkhangelsk Design Office concept was too expensive and very demanding on maintenance, but later were used in Northern Military District in improved version. Imperial Arsenal Armoured Bureau Augustus-99 was real Main Battle Tank with right cost/effective ratio, improved armour and important advantage of automatic gun loading. This advantage won contest for Imperial Bureau.
