With the start of the MAG, "Operation Coxsackie Freedom", My devlopment team and I have oficially decided to pospone any visual press releases of the new FCM 2C heavy tank currently in devlopment. We fear that the danger of combat in the New York area may spread closer, and we do not wish to incite this by revealing our devlopments to possible enemies, or possible freinds. So as of now all access to the FCM devlopment centre will be restricted to high level personell and invited freinds.
However on advice of my engineers, I will be posting written updates every now and then.
I am now pleased to announce the devlopment of a rolling chassis for the FCM 2C, including most of the working suspension. We feel the new suspension design, which is radicly diferent from any we have seen so far, will allow the FCM 2C to be as mobile as it;'s lighter counter parts, while still retaining it's weight and power. Naturally we are thrilld. And pending feild and battle testing, we may be publishing a slightly modified design for commercial use.
With the devlopment of the unpowered rolling chassis, the devlopment team of the FCM 2C has begun to argue about which power system to use. The top option so far is to use 2 or 4 motors from a golf cart for power. For now the team will test the rolling chassis with the drive system canibalized from an M1A1.
And as a final announcment, we are pleased to announce that our testing of "Agricultural chain" has led us to what we be to be a new devlopment in track technology. And, baring any problem in future tests, we are confident this will also give us an edge.
That is all for today from the FCM Devlopment centre.
