Jungle Leopard 2A6 Seafoam Military Main Battle Tank ::Introduction::
The Jungle Leopard 2A6 (mainly known as the L2 or Leopard 2) is a localized version of the German Leopard 2A6. Built to the normal German specifications, this localized version features Necron Add-On armor and a deeper fording depth of 5 meters, 1 meter deeper than the original Leopard. The Military forces of Seafoam needed a new tank to replace the aging Leopard 1 and there was a strong pro-NATO bias that excluded many Russian and Chinese tanks. In the end, four were tested, the M1A1 Abrams, the French Leclerc, Japanese Type 90, and the German Leopard 2. After extensive testing, the Leopard and Leclerc was left, the M1A1 being too costly to improve and the the Japanese Type 90 due to some mechanical problems. The Autoloding feature was the Leclerc's strenght, but the Leopard 2's unique fording capability meant it could be launched from LSTs, a plus for an Island nation. It was often said that the lighter Leclerc's rejection was due to Commandant Todoka's personal opinions, but nevertheless, the Leopard 2A6 was chosen to be the new MBT of Seafoam. With an offer made to Krauss-Maffei-Wegmann, Seafoam was granted rights to build the tank. The Leclerc is currently being tested by the mainland as their MBT.
::Summary::
The Leopard 2A6 RSM features better Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical protection, as well as new next generation ceramic armor. Its Armor is also of the newer Necron Armor, which provides sufficient protection from Magical attacks.
Like its Bundeswehr cousins, the Leopard 2A6 RSM feature digital fire control systems with laser range-finders, a fully stabilized main gun, coaxial machinegun, and night vision equipment through thermal imaging. The tank has the ability to engage moving targets while moving over rough terrain. Powered by a V12, 1500 hp Diesel Engine, it has the ability to accept multiple types of Fuel.
With its unique fording ability, the tank can cross the numerous rivers in Seafoam. One of its smoke grenade canisters can launch Super Repel into the river, to make sure no pokemon are hurt when the tank crosses the river.
Its main gun is the Rhinemetall L55 main gun. It is a smoothbore, 120mm, 55 caliber lengths Main Gun. Compatible with all current 120mm Smoothbore weapons, it can also fire special "Canister" shells, which are basically canisters filled with tungsten spheres meant for close quarters combat with infantry and light armored vehicles from 50 to 175 meters away.
Its secondary armaments are also upgrades. Whereas the original Leopard used 7.62 weaponry, the Leopard RSM uses a 12.7mm (.50 BMG) coaxial machine gun, the tank version of the venerable M2 Browning Machine gun, although it's ROF has been lowered to maintain accuracy for such a large gun.. The Gunner's hatch features a 7.62mm Machine Gun mounted on a pintle, while the commander uses a M2HB RS 12.7mm Machine gun mounted on a powered mount with a 4x magnification sight. This is to be used when the weapon is buttoned up.
The Tank features an independent fire control periscope for the commander, while a dedicated targeting sight for the gunner. The Commander can also deploy a 5.5 meter high, extendable tower, to be used to direct the tank as it fords rivers, or a 5.3 meter high extendable periscope if under fire.
The Armor add ons include "plates" to be placed over the skirts of the tank, while the add-on angled armor can be upgraded to increase the service life of the vehicle. A Number of older Leopard 1 RSM are still being used, mainly be Island Guard Units and by the Indigo League.

 Typhoon Panzer - Seafoam Military Mobile Artillery
::Introduction::
The Typhoon Panzer is Seafoam's standard Self-propelled artillery. It is a modified Pzh 2000, built to Seafoam Marine Corps specifications. After numerous trials, the Republic of Seafoam chose the Pzh 2000 due to it's clear exemplary performance over other self-propelled howitzers. After negotiations, it was decided that Krauss-Maffei Wegmann and Rhinemetall would produce the hulls and turrets, while Seafoam Industries would add the nessasry improvements needed by the Marine Corps and Army.
::Summary::
The Typhoon Panzer is a standard 155mm Pzh 2000 built to Seafoam specifications. It has a Fording depth of 4 meters, greater NBC protection via an overpressurized and sealed hull. It's Necron Armor is standard for protection against Magical attacks.
Rheinmetall designed the 155mm 52-calibre gun, which is chromium-lined for its entire 8 metre length and includes a muzzle brake on the end. The gun uses a new standardized charge system with six different charges, which can be combined to provide exactly the power needed and no more. Primer is loaded separately via a conveyor belt, and the entire loading, laying and clearing is completely automated. The maximum range of the gun is 30km with the standard L15A2 round , about 35km with base bleed rounds, and up to 40km with assisted projectiles. In April 2006 a PzH 2000 shot assisted shells over a distance of 56km with a probable maximum range of over 60km. These specifications were above average for the tests and overall criteria Seafoam demanded of such a tank.
Like the Jungle Leopard 2A6, the tank has the ability to "dive". This is done so by locking the gun at a 60 degree angle, a snorkel and periscope is raised, and the tank simply dives in. The maximum dept of the vehicle is 4 meters, and this is usually done during landing operations, where a prepared beach can allow the tanks to leave the LST, wade ashore, and then go to where it is needed.
Wegmann supplied both the chassis, sharing some components with the Leopard 1, and the turret for the gun. The system has superb cross-country performance and considerable protection in the case of counter-fire. The crew can defend itself via the use of personal weapons and an MG3 7.62mm Machine Gun that can be mounted on a powered mount on both the Commander's and Loader's Hatches.
The turret includes a phased array radar on the front glacis for monitoring outgoing rounds and correcting for windage. Laying can also be automatically provided via encrypted radio links from rear area command. A crew of three was needed for full operation, commander, layer and driver. With an integrated computer link, it can coordinate fire from aircraft, fixed artillery, mortar crews, and naval warships to deliver the most firepower on one specific area.
It is powered by a Seafoam Diesel 990hp engine and can accept a variety of fuels. Its ammunition capacity is 60 shells, which can be loaded onto the vehicle in 12 minutes.

 Island Stryker - Seafoam Military Armored Personnel Carrier ::Introduction::
Built by General Dynamics Land Systems, this Stryker was developed with improvements in armor, NBC, and the addition of an amphibious mode which allows the vehicle to float to the tops of its wheels and be driven by two waterjets. After the second war, General Dynamics, in the rebuilding United States, benefited on this contract by General Todoka. It made significant improvements, and due to it's waterjets and amphibious mode, was significantly faster than the other APC being considered, the LAV-25.
::Summary::
The Armor system is enhanced by a thin layer of Necron paint and a layer of Necron armor, which provide above average magical protection. The armor was also improved, and could no withstand hits from binary RPG rounds.
The Stryker is a 4×8 switchable to 8×8 via pneumatics. It has high-range 4×8 and low-range 8×8. It operates normally in high 4×8. This vehicle uses pneumatics and hydraulics to operate most everything mechanically in it. All variants share major components, including the powerpack (engine, transmission, hydraulics), wheels, tires, differentials and transfer case. Currently, there is a small AC unit located in the front of the troop compartment.
Most major components can be changed out very quickly. Almost every cable, hose, etc., has quick disconnects to speed up removal and installation. The pack can be removed and installed in less than one hour, making it faster to remove the pack and fix it outside the vehicle than to leave it in and fix the problem. An example would be the turbocharger.
The Stryker is equipped with several advanced systems that make it safer and easier to operate:
-The automatic fire extinguishing system (AFES) has several sensors in the engine and troop compartments. If a fire is detected it will activate the fire bottle nearest the fire automatically. If it does not, the driver can activate the bottle from the driver's compartment.
-Central tire-inflation system (CTIS): From the driver's compartment, the driver can adjust the tire pressure to the terrain the vehicle is driving on for maximum speed and/or traction. There are four settings: highway/asphalt, snow/mud, general off-road terrain, and finally emergency. Emergency is only used when all four front wheels are destroyed. The Stryker can move for only a few miles on this setting before the remaining tires ignite. Each setting has a speed limit. A warning will go off if the vehicle exceeds the recommended speed for its tire pressure.
-Extensive computer support helps soldiers fight the enemy while reducing friendly fire accidents. Each vehicle can track the other vehicles in the field as well as detected enemies.
-A day-night thermal imaging (TI) camera is mounted outside the Stryker so the commander in the vehicle can see what the driver sees. Soldiers can practice training with the vehicles from computer training modules inside the vehicle.
-Both the driver and the commander have periscopes, enabling them to see outside the vehicle without exposing themselves to outside dangers. The driver has a little more than 90 degrees and the commander has almost 360 degrees of vision from the safety of the inside.
The fuel tanks are externally mounted to reduce injury to troops in case of fire or explosion. They are designed to blow away from the vehicle and any fire would be kept outside the hull.
Its amphibious mode two movable water jets, giving it a speed of 15kmh on water. It also has two stubby wings that fold up in the front, providing lift to keep the angled front above the waterline, reducing it's chances of plowing headlong underwater. An inertial gryo system would tell if ti failed in this task, and immediately cut or reverse thrust to keep the APC from drowning. There are three such sensors, one primary, secondary, and emergency. The Island Stryker is therefore limited to little surf or non-surf operations. It cannot go into the ocean.
NBC protection is enhanced over the earlier models used in 2004, this in turn also help keep it watertight.
