The Tzar T12 is an RFAI first generation Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) introduced in 2014. With the RFAI lacking any dedicated armor, the T12 became the RFAI's first armored vehicle during the Anarchist and Greasy Wars. Although often referred to as a tank, the T12 series was never officially classified as one.
The T12 was famous for its use in ramming and storming of heavy defenses, making up for its lack of a main cannon with mobility and strength.
Service History
The T12 was deployed to servers with the RFAI during the Anarchist War, where it was used in fire support, security, and assault of fortified positions. It was also employed by the Anarchists against the RFAI since it had been exported to them only a few weeks prior to the conflict. There is speculation that T12s were deployed on Ghostly Gaming during the Greasy War to support RFAI operations and participated in combat against GreasyBagel and ABMC forces. The T12 was also deployed on Snyde to support RFAI forces in the RFAI - ABMC wars.
Following the end of both the Anarchist War and the Greasy War, the T12 was rapidly withdrawn from combat use and superseded by the M10 Defender MBT and was relegated to surplus in 2015. A limited number of T12s are serving as targets for the testing of weapons systems. Many are on public display in museums.
