Main battle tank

The heavy tank is a tank of the United States Armed Forces before the War.

Characteristics
The United States military has also utilized heavy duty conventional main battle tanks. The heavy tank is a behemoth powered by a nuclear engine which employs a pair of tracked chassis using the poorly-chosen leaf spring suspension, with a single turret mounted on the top. Its key advantage is firepower: The heavy tank is equipped with a pair of large-caliber 140mm cannons using conventional ammunition. All together, the tank weighed over sixty tons, making it unusable in marshlands and other soft terrains, despite the reliability that allowed for a single soldier to hotwire them and restore them to working order. It has no visible secondary armament. The vehicle bears some resemblance, in turret shape at least, to the M46 Patton which was used by the U.S. Army during the early years of the Korean War, also sporting a similar commander's cupola. Unusually, it appears that parts of the powerplant on the engine deck would interfere with the movement of the turret, preventing it from rotating a full 360 degrees.

Fallout 4

 * One can be found immediately northwest of relay tower 0BB-915, slightly east of the Fort Hagen satellite array.
 * One is located directly northwest to the rear of Fort Hagen, about 50-75 feet feet back and due north of the Red Rocket truck stop.
 * One can be found north of Nordhagen beach, in line with Libertalia.
 * Four can be found inside the Fort Hagen hangar located underneath Fort Hagen satellite array.

Fallout 76

 * One can be found outside of Vault 76.
 * Two can be found near the Red Rocket Mega Stop, in a convoy with a few other military vehicles.
 * Another can be found in the parking lot of the Converted munitions factory.

Trivia
This tank design is unfeasible for an actual combat situation from a design point of view:
 * It has no machine guns (bow or coaxial), giving it no defense against infantry or light targets.
 * Its two main cannons are not logistically sound, and offer very little real advantage over a single larger gun.
 * Four-tracked vehicles were tested, but found to offer no advantage at the price of more maintenance.
 * Technically, this vehicle should not even be able to move, as it lacks visible drive spokes.
 * It appears that the main guns have no gun depression, making it impossible to hit anything even slightly below it.

Appearances
The tank appears in Fallout 4 and Fallout 76.

Behind the scenes
The heavy tank was modeled by Tor Frick and implemented by Lucas Hardi.
