| - The NewType (also NeoType, NT, New-T and Neo-T; Russian: резервуар нового танк - tank of the new type) is a heavy tank "paradigm" and the principal battle tank used by the of the Red Army of the Leninist Dynasty in Random Kingdom III. These designs have been in use since World War III and several types have been developed. They are reverse-engineered copies of pre-war tank designs, reproduced according to Standard Construction Templates with inferior materials and improvised technology. Instead of Chobham armor, ERA or ARA, these tanks employ crude armor fashioned from steel plating, although patches of more advanced materials may be used in places. While gasoline is still commonly used as fuel for these tanks, it has been noted that many run on coal or miniature nuclear reactors. According to the original source material, even where weaponry is up to the pre-war standard, the ammunition used is commonly not - the Dynasty has improvised only with shrapnel shells. However, the design intended to be referred to by the source material might have acctually have been even more low-tech canister shot. Neo-Ts verwenden recht niedrige Technologie, um ihre Feuer- und Wiederstandskraft zu erreichen – die Panzerung besteht aus mehreren sehr dicken Stahlplatten und der Panzer hat einen einzelnen Geschützturm der ausser einem großkalibrigen Geschütz keine weiteren Waffen trägt. Das Geschütz feuert Geschosse mit niedriger Geschwindigkeit, aber großen explosiven Ladungen. Dies macht das Geschütz besonders effektiv gegen Infanterie, wenn damit Schrapnellmunition verschossen wird, aber recht nutzlos gegen Hartziele. Newtypes contrast with the Oldtype tanks, which are more or less maintained pre-war tanks. The Black Guard is the only formation to employ a sizeable number of maintained Oldtype tanks. In some cases, they are also old tanks with severe modifications, or salvaged tank hulls, providing borderline examples between Newtype and Oldtype tanks. The Newtype carries an anomaly device, which is usually used to counter ballistic threats. When activated, incoming projectiles are nullified and the tank takes a fixed amount of damage instead. The crew also takes a considerable amount of slow-regenerating mental damage, which increases if the Mind stat is already low, making repeated use in a short timespan dangerous.
