Briggs Tank

The Briggs Tanks is one of the newest Amestrian technological advancements being designed and invented on the front lines of combat in the Briggs Mountain Range of northern Amestris. It is a new type of fighting vehicle with heavy firepower and defensive armour. The first mobile war machine of its kind, the Briggs Tank utilizes mechanized, armored treads for movement, is able to turn 360 degrees and move at ramming speed. It is encased in a durable armor, presumably incorporating the various steel composite alloys also being developed by Fort Briggs' Research & Development department and is armed with a positionable heavy artillery cannon. Small and durable, the Briggs Tank is operated by two soldiers, one for mobility and one for artillery fire, but can carry up to three safely. Its first successful test run was in the winter of 1914 against a powerful unknown intruder invading the base from below. It also displayed reasonable success the following spring, proving invaluable to Briggs forces in subduing any threats it came across while moving toward Central Command, only to be overpowered by the Homunculus Wrath.

Trivia

 * In real world terms, the Briggs Tank appears to be based on the German PzKpfw IV, a World War II medium tank.
