Chapter 274: Test on the Training Ground

The entire tank weighs about 12.5 tons, and on top of accommodating four crew members, it can also carry two round ammunition pouches with 1,200 machine-gun bullets, 28 shells, and weapons for all four crew members.

Because it's a tracked tank, this tank can reach an average speed of 25 kilometers per hour on flat roads, with a maximum speed of 32 kilometers per hour.

Of course, if it's a non-flat road, then the average and maximum cruising speeds would greatly decrease, and may even affect the stability of the tank.

While this big guy is rather slow to move, it has a maximum travel distance of a whole 210 kilometers.

Because the tank body is fully covered with 17 millimeters of steel armor, it makes this big guy look rather bulky, but its protective ability is indeed trustworthy.

If we look historically, late World War One tank armors were only about 5 to 12 millimeters thick, whereas the armor thickness of the first-generation tank of Australasia has far exceeded this number.
