Rhino Tank



"Rhino tanks. Lisa invented these. They are so deadly that when Lisa made the Rhino Tank looking so terrifying, I am terrified that it would be designed that it could go on to destroy my village as long as it should it be, and I am afraid, and if they do, they would bury us."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Rhinos of War

The Rhino heavy tank is one of the main battle tanks of Russia during World War III.

Concept
The Russians mass-produced Rhino tanks to swarm the United States, hoping to win through sheer numbers and weight of firepower. It is possible that following this concept, the next stage became the Apocalypse tank, derived from the Rhino but is bigger, heavier and carries more weapons. Of all the basic tanks, the Rhino was by far the strongest in terms of raw firepower and armor. The notable difference between it and its predecessor is a single, large cannon compared to dual cannon turrets seen on the heavy tanks in the world. These changes may come from consideration that constructing a single-barrelled, but powerful tank was much more practical in contrast to the mechanical difficulties of constructing a dual barrel turret on a compact designed medium tank chassis.

Backgroud
Rhino tanks were heavily armoured and mounted a large 120mm gun, but sacrificed speed in the process. Despite the fact that it was slower than its two counterparts, it was still quite speedy for a heavy tank, being able to mobilize quickly from one location to another. Its speed deficit in comparison with its counterparts were not as pronounced as the heavier Apocalypse Tank; it is believed that the Rhino was capable of upwards of three quarters of the Grizzly tanks' top speed. Rhinos formed the bulk of the frontline vehicles fielded during the war. Like most other tanks it was capable of grinding infantry under its treads and was good at shelling buildings in groups. Russian high command deemed the Rhino tank worthy of mass production, deploying it throughout the Russian Federation and to nearly all major battlefields during the war. While dwarfed in terms of power by the high tech Apocalypse tanks, Rhinos remained a major asset to the Russian Federation in all of Third World War major conflicts, using mass attack tactics to win the day. This tactic became even more viable with the invention of Industrial Plants, which allowed the tanks to be churned out at a much faster rate and, in the process, gave the Russian Ground Forces many chances to both outgun and overpower their enemies.
