(I don't have a name for this yet.)
Trying to make a perfectly balanced Clan city-MBT. I could see all Clans using this, spheroid and homeworld; with the Horses using it on the frontlines. It has a hole-puncher (gauss rifle), crit-finder (iATM array), and integrated artillery (arrow 4). Twenty turns of arrow 4 ammunition means that even if it is immobilized this tank tranforms from a tank into a dangerous MLRS pillbox. Side LMG's help with crits, ECM nerfs enemy electronics. 14 tons of Ferro-Lamellor armor means a lowered crit-chance and greatly reduces effectiveness of cluster LBX ammo, (the bane of tanks.)
Fuel cell engine keeps the cost under 4 million. Thoughts? Like a name suggestion?

The arrow system would, or maybe should, not be in the front lines. And without it's own tag system to do it's own targeting, incase others aren't around, it does have issues.
With the artillery system, it seems a bit weak for front line duty, but that is with the idea of the arrows having issues landing where they need to. I will say, that might be a just bad thinking on my part.
I would also suggest making it omni, so it 'fits' with the clan concepts of fighting units.
This would allow them to swap out the gauss/arrow for the other and run duals, allowing it to be support or front line.
the IATMs are a decent back up weapon.
It is a decent all around unit.
It just feels like jack of all trades.
And it is probably my feelings, but a MBT should have a major punch when in range.
Thunder Cracker comes to mind for a name. Not great.
Maybe Boombox.
