Munitions Empire

Chapter 1095: 1017 is no longer in the same plane.

Over the years, the Great Tang Empire has always been updating its arms equipment, especially those that have started creating logistical headaches.

The first to be heavily phased out was the Panther Tank; generally, there were two routes for its disposal, one was to sell it to Chu Country, and the other was to sell it to the Poplar Empire.

As the Great Tang Empire phased out the majority of Panther Tanks, their production line had also been sold to the Poplar Empire over a year ago.

Now, the Poplar Empire is the country with the largest number of Panther Tank equipment, and they are quite satisfied with the combat performance of these tanks. The only drawback is the logistical maintenance issue for this type of tank, whose complex design indeed causes a lot of trouble for the Poplar Empire’s logistics troops.

It’s an unavoidable situation because, in a sense, the Panther Tank is a kind of “specialty weapon” that wants everything and strives for perfection in everything.

Its armor protection is quite high, its mobility is also very good, it has a high ammo capacity, its firepower is formidable, and its targeting system is advanced—is such a perfect weapon really reasonable?

Of course not.

The Panther Tank merely piles all its problems onto the production and maintenance segments; as perfect as it performs on the battlefield, it is as terrible in manufacturing and logistical maintenance.

As the saying goes, the Panther Tank might be a good choice for the Great Tang Empire, which has strong manufacturing capabilities in logistics, but for the Poplar Empire, it’s not as good as they had imagined.
