TD6M1 Angon

The TD6M1 Angon is a superheavy tank destroyer, assault gun, mobile coastal artillery, and self-propelled artillery of the Khertland army fulfilling a unique mixture of roles. It features a massive 183mm cannon designed to be able to penetrate armor of even battleships on a mobile platform. This performance was also expected to lend itself to defeating even the heaviest of tank armor that is being fielded. Such a massive gun would also be used for breaking through heavy fortifications should the need arise. The TD6 Angon is by far the most expensive and largest ground combat vehicle Khertland has ever procured and its widely publicized appearance during the 'Liberation Day' parade. The display of its imposing frame has been heavily used as propaganda material. That is in spite of the system's rather spotty reception within the military circle. Although the Angon had performed as expected and met all requirements, it haven't proved decisive in exercises. The results were comparable to what was achieved with the much lighter Ato tank destroyers. And when it came to anti-shipping, some had argued that existing platforms could do the job adequately enough. Nonetheless, the 183mm provided greater ranges and substantially better post-penetrating effects on target. This combined with its high penetration and a reasonably fast rate of fire proved to be a highly lethal combination. The army wanted coastal defense systems they could employ against any potential amphibious landings. It was better to fight the enemy before they got to shore. Normally this should have been in the realm of the navy but due to current political climate, the army had received most of the funding leaving the navy somewhat incapable of fulfilling this role. At 183mm, it was at least comparable to that of heavy cruisers and so could provide a mobile deterrent against any coastal incursions. This was an area the army had always wanted to be further developed. The plan is to use the Interitus missiles t
