MCT-1

The MCT-1 or Meincaweiconiteinek-1 (English Main Battle Tank I) nicknamed by its crew as Eiagwar (English: Jaguar). It first entered service in 1978 with the Grand Valerius States, formally. It was meant to replace the outdated designs from the former dis-unified Valeric states. It would eventually be replaced by its successor the MCT-2.

History
The MCT-1 was the first tank designed by the newly reunified Grand Valerius States, and as such was designed with the progress from both the occupied regimes design ideas. It would become one of the most widely used Valeric Tanks of the Cold War. It would see many variants as well and its chassis would see many uses throughout the years. However, once it was replaced by the MCT-2 it would also continue rear duty service.

Armament
The MCT-1 was armed with a gun designed for the Communist Regime that was proven effective and as such continued service until its replacement. As such the TK-68 was equipped with most modern types of ammunition. These include APDS, HEAT-FS, HEAT, HE, and a Smoke round, these allowed it to combat many types of enemy tanks and vehicles. It also mounted a roof-mounted and coaxial .30 MOT-1 which was quite capable in an anti-infantry and ranging role.

Variants

 * MCT-1A The MCT-1A, was a simple upgraded engine and added an additional .50 Intir Caram Machine Gun mounted on the loader's cupola.
 * MCT-1B The MCT-1B added more armor to the turret front and sides, this armor was Applique composite armor, it also included the TK-68B cannon, that added the capability to fire a Canister shot. It also added an improved ranging system and an improved suspension.
 * MCT-1C With even more improved armor, the turret shape took a form more akin to what would be seen in the MCT-2, it also replaced the top-mounted MOT-1 with a 30mm MGE-1 along with four more smoke dischargers, making the total number eight.
 * MCT-1C Kerfit Thought the MCT-1C had begun to be phased about before the advent of the Kerfit ERA system the MCT-1C would receive the Kerfit system, these variants, however, had been specially modified to hold the Kerfit system, due to how it was applied, and as such was slightly different from previous MCT-1Cs prior to the changes to the Kerfit that made its application slightly less tedious.
 * MCT-1D The Final MCT-1 variant, the MCT-1D was heavily armored, had an improved engine and the final upgrade to the TK-68 cannon, the TK-68D/80, along with improved stabilizers for the turret, and improved Radio system, a computerized targeting system, and finally a blowout panel in case of ammunition explosions that drastically lowered the possibility of ammunition explosions destroying the vehicle.
 * MCT-1D Kerfit This version was simply a MCT-1D with the additional requirements to mount the early Kerfit ERA system, only a small number of these were created prior to the switch to the Kerfit B variant that required less special modifications.
