CVM-59 Crusader | Federal Union of Arcadia | Reese-Dixon Motors | Main battle tank | CVM-59A CVM-59B CVM-59C CVM-59D CVM-59DX 120 |
1959-1995 | From the 1960s onwards, the Crusader was the backbone of the Arcadian armored force. While eventually considered undergunned compared to its competition, the Crusader was continually improved with better fire control, night optics, armor, communications, and mobility upgrades throughout its life. The last Crusaders exited the reserves in 1995, though huge stockpiles of the tank still sit in Army warehouses. | ||
CVM-51 Paladin | Federal Union of Arcadia | Reese-Dixon Motors | Main battle tank | CVM-51A CVM-51B CVM-51C CVM-51D CVM-51E |
1951-1985 | While quickly overshadowed by the vastly superior Crusader, the Paladin was the first Arcadian tank designated as an MBT, rather than as a light, medium, or heavy tank. Serving in the reserve role until the 80s, the Paladin has also seen extensive overseas export. | ||
CVM-55 Champion | Federal Union of Arcadia | Rockwell Motor Company | Heavy tank | CVM-55A CVM-55B CVM-55C |
1955-1985 | While suffering from reliability and mobility issues, the CVM-55 Champion made up for its shortcomings with a famously powerful gun. The 120mm main armament was one of the most powerful tank guns in the world when it entered service as the last heavy tank to be adopted by the Arcadian military. |
