Bab 1057: Chapter 788: Bear-style Tank

Although the T-31 medium tank was already excellent in terms of design data, it could only serve as a conventional main battle tank in the short term and was by no means one of those formidable behemoths when it came to tanks.

To compensate for the deficiencies of the armored troops in assault and frontal combat, it was essential to design a very large heavy tank.

In its heavy tank design philosophy, Australasia abandoned the pursuit of speed and shifted the main direction of design to firepower and armor protection.

The T-31A heavy main battle tank was the Royal Military Factory's best response to the Ministry of Defense's requirements for heavy tanks.

Although it looks like the T-31 medium tank belongs to the same model, apart from similar exteriors, the weapons loaded and the fundamental design philosophies of the two tanks are completely different directions.
