M609 Titan

M609 Titan is the main MBT currently in use by the United Alliances Federation. Its very high speed for a medium, its insanely accurate and quick aiming gun, long 20s reload, and virtually nonexistent armor, makes this is a one-of-a-kind tank when compared to its rival brothers from other factions. Unlike most mediums, this tank is not a jack-of-all-trades. This tank’s sole purpose in battle is to get to the flank, or even the rear of enemy tanks, and use its high alpha gun to put one where it hurts.

History
The UAF were desperately in need of a newer, cheap, and effective tank after the Hakarian Civil war. Most UAF tanks were still of Second Hakarian War of Independence vintage. Royal Ordinance, MAN, and Porsche were tasked with making prototypes for this new tanks. Royal Ordinance's proposal, the VKM 450.06 (RO), was way over the weight specifications. MAN's proposal, the VKM 450.06 (M) was too under-powered in terms of gun penetration to be effective. Porsche's proposal, the VKM 450.06 (P) was the most expensive of all, but was the best performing out of the others. Porsche's hull was combined with Royal Ordinance's turret and the VKM 450.07 was created. its reduced costs and effective armanment made this an awesome tank. This tank was renamed the M609 Titan and was hurried into production to replace the M505 Dornier's still in use. its performance in battle was outstanding, being able to level a super-heavy tank in just a few shots. The Titan is still in use today, but a new tank is being developed to replace the Titan.

Design
Compared to most older UAF tanks, this tank shows a very significant change in the UAF tank doctrine. Most older UAF tanks were large, heavy, ridiculously well armored, slow, and packed gigantic punches. The Titan was extremely mobile, had almost no effective armor, and a large, high-alpha gun that packs a huge punch. Its armor that doesn't go over 100mm allows it to reach over 75kph. Downside is that it cant take a hit too well. Its 155mm KwK Zis 79 can take out a super-heavy tank in just 10 shots, but it will take over 3 minutes to take it out, given that the second the gun is reloaded, the shot is fired. Realistically, it would take almost 7 minutes to kill a super-heavy

Variants
The Titan has the most variants out of all UAF tanks, with over 50 different common variants and over 100 non-common variants
