Tanks
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 III		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 III 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-49 Paladin II		Federal Union of Arcadia	Reese-Dixon Motors		Main battle tank	CVM-49A CVM-49B	1950-1960	Beginning as an improved variant of the Paladin I, the Paladin II came to be its own tank when large redesigns were ordered by the Army. After radically upgrading the tank, the Paladin II came to be, though it lived a short life. Production was cut short in 1952 in favor of the Paladin III.
CVM-48 Paladin I		Federal Union of Arcadia	Reese-Dixon Motors		Main battle tank	CVM-49A CVM-49B	1948-1960	Developed from the lessons that Arcadian observers had learned from the Second Great War, the CVM-48 Paladin I was more of a first iteration on the new idea of combining the features of heavy and medium tanks with the mobility of lighter ones. The Paladin I served a very short time, but its development informed virtuall all future tank doctrine in the Arcadian Army.
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.
CVM-50 Mustang		Federal Union of Arcadia	Devereux Automobiles		Light tank	CVM-50A CVM-50B CVM-50C CVM-50D CVM-50E CVM-50F CVM-50G	1950-1975	A maneuverable and reliable light tank primarily used for reconnaissance and infantry fire support, the Mustang was popular with troops and earned a very positive reputation. Large numbers were exported to foreign customers and allies around the world during the 1960s and 70s.
CVM-68 Bronco		Federal Union of Arcadia	Reese-Dixon Motors		Light tank	CVM-68A CVM-68B CVM-68C CVM-68D CVM-68D OTVR	1968-2016	Although light, innovative, and carrying unique barrel-launched ATGMs, the Bronco was not a particularly well-protected vehicle. Serving as a reconnaissance tank until the 80s when the CVM-1 Gaitor took over the role, the Bronco eventually became fire support platform and training vehicle for OPFOR units in large-scale exercises.
