this design is actualy based off the original M551 Sheridan however the M551 was a fraction smaller and far less capable than the M8K36. the Sheridan V is 3.5 metres wide. 8 metres long and 2.5 metres high. it was adopted by the ODN ground force for its versitility and its conventionality because they were finding it incredibly hard to do battle in dencly forrested or urban areas with the Centaur II due to its sheer size. the Sheridan V is less than a 3rd of the centaur IIs total weight and size making it far more manuverable however it dosent have the 'go anywhere, amytime' spirit of the Centaur II

the sheridan V is very similar to the original in that it carries a 105mm rifled gun and weighs 35 tonnes however with the advanced technology from the Centaur II the Sheridan V carries a significantly more powerful 420 horsepower turbodiesel boxer engine and a supercool ultraprossesor computer, cutting its crew in half and still giving it the ability to hit a land ot air target pinpoint at a range that makes the 105mm gauss rifle proud

the Sheridan V carries the same armour as the Centaur II giving it superior protection for a tank of its size, and an overcompensatory engine capable of travling at speeds in excess of 160Kp/H. this tank is designed to do all the things the Centaur II cant. now they never travle appart. there are always 2 Sheridans in a convoy of any formation and size which is easy to do when the type34 is capable of stowing 2 of them in its cargohold and bringing them to bare at any location

M8K36 sheridan V's being conventional tanks must breath to opperate because of their diesel engine however there is a small atmosphere generator on the Sheridan V that makes it capable of swiming great distances as long it is fitted with a snorcle the crew will survive and the tank will follow the convoy to the ends of any planet
