The M1 Ronberd Hyper Solid is the same as the M1 Ronberd Hyper but with the main gun switched to a 120 mm short cannon to provide increased AP and long-range capabilities. It was also made to counter RSMF's chemical protection armored vehicles, since wide use of the mortar-based HEATFS main gun was common, as it was able to provide massive penetration capabilities.

History
Introduction dateMarch, 27, 2023
In serviceRetired

The M1 Ronberd was a Daktank cruise tank, built by D-BOI-9341 in the friendly competition between GPK and RSMF in a custom point capture Daktank game mode. The tank was inspired by the AEF combined with wacky angled shapes. The doctrine of designing the tank composed mobile and tough doctrine, where the goal is to create a cruiser tank that is both fast and hard-hitting, with average armor against other tanks.

The green M1 Ronberd was the mainstream dupe distributed to the grade-2 clearance GPK members. During the friendly competition between GPK and RSMF, D-BOI-9341 used M1 Ronberd Hyper, an upgraded version of the tank, with added armor protection, especially ERA in the front and rear.

Combat Record

The M1 Ronberd was inferior in penetrating RSMF heavy tanks from the front but proved very excellent in flanking tanks and suppressing infantry assaults. Later on, as the arms race continued, the M1 Ronberd's penetration and armor tradeoff would become increasingly inferior to other Daktank MBTs, and it would slowly fade out of combat. However, its mobility and the main gun mortar were still useful in infantry suppression, bunker busting, and rapid point capturing, especially in maps when visibility was low.

(Note: The M1 Ronberd was used in a custom Daktank sandbox gamemode created by Jonahsoldier. Few factions participated in the gamemode. Capturing points, gaining resources, and exhausting enemy resources was the goal of the mode, alongside a secondary Victory Point mode).

Variations

M1 Ronberd Hyper

Canonically modified in 1995, 15 years after the M1 Ronberd was introduced. The M1 Ronberd Hyper has added armor protection; a noticeable feature is the ERAs on the front and side of the tank.





M1 Ronberd Hyper Solid

The M1 Ronberd Hyper Solid is the same as the M1 Ronberd Hyper but with the main gun switched to a 120 mm short cannon to provide increased AP and long-range capabilities. It was also made to counter RSMF's chemical protection armored vehicles, since wide use of the mortar-based HEATFS main gun was common, as it was able to provide massive penetration capabilities.
