[p]The prototype was intended for a crew of three men (driver, commander and gunner) and was made of welded steel plates (ironically, these plates were forged in the Czech Republic, not Poland). It was assembled at AMZ Kutno and then transported to OBRUM Gliwice where it was finished. The exact thickness of the plates was unknown but it was stated that the basic protection level of the Anders Light Tank was STANAG 4569 Level 3 (protection against 7.62mm AP rounds at 30 meters only).[/p][p]It could, however, reach STANAG 4569 Level 5 or even Level 6 according to some reports by installing additional armor plates (the armor system was made to be modular), which would make it resistant to 25mm APDS shells at 500 meters from the front (in case of Level 5) or 30mm APFSDS shells at 500 meters from the front (Level 6).[/p][p]The vehicle weighed approximately 33 tons and did therefore fit the military requirements (although the increase to Level 5 or Level 6 protection increased its weight up to 44 tons). It was powered by the German MTU 8V199 TE20 engine producing some 710hp, giving it an excellent power-to-weight ratio of 21.5 hp/t. If needed, the engine could up-tuned to some 800hp to handle the increased armor weight, but this change was not performed on the prototype, which was fast enough even with the standard variant – it had the maximum speed of 72 km/h. The suspension was a newly developed hydromechanical system with six roadwheels on each side and drive sprocket in the front.[/p][p]The vehicle was equipped with a low-profile manned turret – the crew is sitting in the turret basked, but inside the hull. This solution generally increases the crew protection at the expense of internal volume and crew situational awareness since it has to rely on various periscopes and optics to see outside. The turret is armed with a Swiss 120mm RUAG smoothbore gun along with a coaxial 7.62mm UKM-2000C machinegun (the same type used in the Rosomak turret). The cannon was automatically loaded and takes ammunition from a 12-round magazine. The Fire Control System was of Polish origin, developed by Przemysłowe Centrum Optyki. The gun was not stabilized on the prototype, but the stabilization mechanism was developed for it.[/p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/32896386/34a241b7b8aaa20e22f555d35021dc9c4b67c1b7.jpg"][/img]

Anders in World War 3
[p]Anders in World War 3 is a progressive tank destroyer that players receive upon reaching level 6. It is the first representative of this class of Strike available to players.[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/32896386/87968edad6294ecb8bb43f62e2e218c7355e25f7.png"][/img][/p][p]As its class name suggests, it is best suited for destroying other vehicles. It can be equipped with one of two turrets, the first with a 105mm gun and the second with 120mm armament. The first one deals less Alfa damage than the second one, but fires faster.[/p][p]Anders can be described as a gun on a tracked chassis, ideal for hit-and-run tactics. Powerful armament, good mobility, and poor durability mean that, apart from this tactic, it is best used to support allies from a distance. As for armor, the front is decent, while the sides and rear only protect against machine guns in the basic version.[/p][p]Due to these characteristics, combat with infantry in urban areas will end very quickly and spectacularly for Commander of Anders. It is possible to equip the vehicle with additional protection systems such as APS, jammers, or reactive/net armor, but none of these upgrades will change the core gameplay of this vehicle. [/p][p][/p]
Anders Snake
[p]The Snake version of Anders is currently available in our in-game store for 3000 SP / 120 UNC.[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/32896386/53057126bf86edc7e8f14d75b281859c3f1e3beb.jpg"][/img][/p][p]The Snake is characterized by camouflage of the same name and a configuration focused on maximum and overwhelming firepower. The turret with a 105 mm cannon and a 25 mm RCWS will allow you to destroy almost everything that isn't a main battle tank almost instantly. Reactive armor, on the other hand, will allow you to survive a little longer in urban terrain.[/p]
Anders Mout
[p]The Mout version of Anders is currently available in our in-game store for 3000 SP / 120 UNC.[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/32896386/ff7d1b4478f3426626035b6a32a2a683b1d8b522.jpg"][/img][/p][p]The Mout features Sea camouflage and a configuration designed for heavy combat in urban areas. Its powerful 120 mm gun allows it to inflict heavy damage on any opponent with a single shot. It'is protected against infantry weapons and ATGMs by a tandem of heavy APS and net armor on the sides and rear of the vehicle. This is an almost ideal configuration for tactics involving a quick devastating attack and then jumping between buildings or behind an obstacle. [/p][p]Both blueprints will be available in the store for over 20 days.[/p][p]Meanwhile, that's all for now. Fall out, operators![/p]
