Commanders!

The Design a Legendary Vehicle entry phase is over. We have received more than 400 submissions and right off the bat, let us be clear about one thing.

The sheer amount of high quality submissions surprised us immensely, in a good way. It will take some time so sift through the results. We will therefore only be checking for the Legendary Blueprint requirement at the moment of the vote publication, giving you some more time to catch up if you haven’t already.

With that out of the way, let us take a look at another contest entry called RV-22 Nemesis, as submitted by FLANKER_22. The contest entry represents pretty much a model case of how an entry should look like and we’re happy to introduce it to you as well.

History:

Unlike the last entry, this is a fictional Main Battle Tank that was designed by the author. That means that the “history” part is more of a background story that goes like this:

The RV-22 Nemesis is designed as a Technical Breakthrough MBT that excels in active defensive combat and Hull-Down maneuvers. Featuring a low-profile unmanned turret, this tank offers higher sustainability values than other MBTs in its class. Its primary role is a frontline anchor, capable of maintaining constant pressure without exposing weak points, thanks to its highly flexible ATGM system.

The history of the RV-22 began in 2022 as a direct response to a critical shift in armored warfare. Intelligence reports indicated that next-generation Main Battle Tank (MBT) armor had become virtually impenetrable to standard 120mm and 125mm kinetic penetrators. Global military forces required a platform capable of housing massive 140mm smoothbore cannon without sacrificing mobility or crew safety. This initiative was codenamed “Project Revenant.”

Engineers quickly realized that traditional manned turrets were too heavy and vulnerable to accommodate such a large weapon system. To solve this, a radical design was implemented: the entire crew was relocated into a reinforced armored capsule (The Citadel) within the front hull. This allowed the turret to operate entirely unmanned, significantly reducing the vehicle's silhouette and making the RV-22 an exceptionally difficult target to acquire on the battlefield.

During initial field trials, the massive 140mm main gun faced limitations in urban and mountainous terrain due to its physical size. To bridge this tactical gap, the Independent Robotic Pivot ATGM system was integrated. Its unique ability to launch dual-salvo missiles from extreme vertical angles—striking targets that the main gun could not reach—gave the tank an unpredictable "retribution" capability. Following these successful trials, the prototype was officially christened the "NEMESIS."

Author’s Gameplay Vision:

I want the RV-22 Nemesis to function as a frontline fighter that can deal high damage and assist the team in detecting enemies.

This vehicle is designed to dominate hilly and urban terrain. With strong armor and using the Independent Robotic Pivot ATGM (Anti-Tank Guided Missile) system, it can attack targets at extreme vertical angles and fire a salvo of two missiles while the main body remains safe behind cover.

Why? I want a new style of MBT. Although there are already MBTs equipped with ATGMs such as Cheonma, Seongun, and KF51, I want a tank that can target enemies more accurately, especially when the tank is tilted or the enemy is in a high position. The pivot ATGM system on the RV-22 NEMESIS offers a solution expected to satisfy players who prefer an aggressive and frontline play style, while also making the tank more durable.

The arm will function the following way:

The missile launcher system utilizes an Independent Mechanical Pivot Arm mechanism, operating separately from the main gun's movement. Mounted on the rear section of the turret, this robotic arm enables the ATGM Launcher to achieve an exceptional vertical range of motion.

And that’s it for today’s entry, commanders. Once again, we’d like to underline that we want to do this entire contest justice. It will therefore take time to go through the results. We invite you to discuss the topic and express your wishes on Discord or anywhere else. But for now:

See you on the battlefield!
