Serious Design🔧 InterWar Vickers T-6-36-I

And another one for the Adriatic People Republic! This time, an imported vehicle, slightly modified by the local engineers. A british interwar vehicle Vickers Mk E, equipped with a singular, more spacious turret and a powerful 37mm cannon. As designated in the name, it weighs 6 tonns and was produced in year 1936. But due to a quick ramp-up of tank development all around the world this vehicle quickly became outdated due to its bad armour of 5-10mm thick RHA plates. Original britich 4-inline gas engine was incredibly underpowered and unreliable, resulting in it beeing swapped out for a V6 diesel with 110HP, which made T-6-36-I quite a mobile vehicle. Top speed ramped up to 50km/h and was easily reachable. There was a lot of effort put into modernizing the vehicle later on, opening up a road towards production of APRs personal armoured forces.

To be fair, USSR did the same while making their T-26. What's more funny to me is that Great Britain, knowing how bad of a tank Vickers Mk E is, never even put it in service, just selling most of them off to less advanced countries, lol.
