Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Overlord Tank

"Are you ready?"

-Overlord Tank

The ZTZ200 Overlord Tank is a twin-barreled super-heavy tank employed by the Empire that can be upgraded to fill a myriad of different roles. This monstrous tank of the Empire is planned to be voiced by *TBA*

Tactical analysis

 * I am... READY: The Overlord Tank dwarfs absolutely everything else in the Empire military. A pair of crude but destructive 200mm cannons brutalize anything unfortunate to be in the path of the Overlord, and thick frontal armor is all but impervious to damage.
 * They will come to us...: Despite its horrendously slow speed, the Overlord has a weapon which can be used to level the playing field. A harpoon gun, which can be used to spear, damage and slowly drag enemy units into the range of its guns. The extreme range of the harpoon gun comes in handy for dealing with artillery, though the main guns must be fired in a powered-down mode, reducing their range somewhat.
 * Top mount: The Overlord can also be given an add-on when near a factory, that can also be changed when near a factory, to handle almost any situation.
 * I will not be interrupted: A plodding top speed, insanely high cost, and vulnerability to aircraft all plague the Overlord Tank. Despite its lack of anti infantry weapons, it can simply run infantry, and in fact most lesser vehicles, over; if it can catch up to them, that is.

History
"Well, I guess Elsword has the faith to counter the Apocalypse."

-Aquilan citizens observing an Overlord tank, being pulled to a battle by bovines.

When the first ZTZ200 Overlord Heavy Siege Tank rolled onto the battlefield, tank commanders outside of Voshkod around Gaiaterra didn't know what to make of it. Now, after years of experience, they know very well what they face, but this fact has only made the Overlord more terrifying. A gigantic battle tank large enough to simply crush lesser opponents beneath its treads, the Overlord is armed with two 140mm guns and a turret large enough to fit a small building on top.

Its origin lies in the Elsword Civil War, where the National Revolutionary Army adopted defensive fighting positions as their military doctrine, building long and well-positioned fortifications which were able to stop hordes of Battlemasters and Red Guards. The resulting casualties from combat proved too great for even the Imperial Army.

Many solutions were suggested and proposed; while those from the lower rankers were rejected and the people who proposed them were beaten for doubting the power of the Red Elsword army. Suggestions from high-ranking generals, however, were another thing entirely, as these generals had the clout to stave off execution and see their pet projects through.

Among these pet projects was the ZTZ-200 Overlord Heavy Siege Tank, General Kwai's personal pet project. In a similar vein to the Voshkod superheavy tanks, the Overlords were huge. They were nothing short of excessive, with obscenely thick armor and oversized 140mm guns. While they were ridiculously powerful in nearly all combat scenarios, more than a few people have questioned their efficiency, and many more level-headed minds would likely have probably pointed out the Overlords were a pointless waste of resources and money, and better spent the resources on other things, were it not for the influence of Kwai looming over them.

They were ponderously slow, even with the many engines installed in them to power them. Although their 'Emperor' cannons were crude and of low muzzle velocity, their sheer caliber was of a magnitude more commonly associated with those of a heavy cruiser than of a tank (indeed, some of the earlier Overlords were equipped with naval guns scavenged from decommissioned warships). The 39-layer steel armor plating alone consumed a ridiculous amount of steel, which many believe could have better gone into the production of more Battlemaster tanks.

The most ridiculous of all was the various (and, at first, useless) additions built on the Overlord tanks -- from Gattling cannon mounts that lacked Gattling cannons to speaker towers that did nothing but blast reams of bland propaganda, to bunkers that constantly filled with the huge amount of exhaust pouring from the Overlord's engines. The engines were prone to constant breakdown, the tracks wore down quickly, and the fuel they consumed was huge -- it is estimated by analysts that most Overlord tanks broke down every ten miles, requiring the crew to perform intensive maintenance before they could get it going again.

But by present times the modern Overlords have changed significantly in their years of service. The first major ones after the war were by fixing the additions. Making Gattling cannons that could be mounted on the Overlord with an ammo feed, changing the tower so that it now blares an ECM wave instead of propaganda, and reconfiguring the engines so that the exhaust doesn't go into the bunker, making its once mocked addons practical. Though some external changes have resulted in their deployment in a slightly different manner to previously. In particular, the re-equipping of Tank Hunters with their new flak cannons and deployment of Pyro Technicians have made bunkers a far more popular choice than before among commanders, the combination delivering highly efficient anti-aircraft support. The currently mothballed ZTZ200G Emperor Overlord's advanced sub-systems were implemented into the entire Overlord fleet after the War Against The MLA.

Official designation of Overlord after Nuclear Tanks upgrade is ZTZ-200H.

Nevertheless, the fear they inspired and their prowess in combat was monstrous; a single Overlord tank could singlehandedly break a Blue Lurensia defensive line by itself, as proved many times over the course of the civil war, and the psychological impact of their presence rallied faltering Elsword Party infantry to victory on more than one occasion.
