So I journeyed into le basement and dug out a well worn copy of Cyberpunks
Maximum Metal but as I browsed through its dusty pages I realized all of the information is roughly 57 years out of date. As is of course... most
Cyberpunk 2020 materials... all of them likely in fact.
Lot of different armored cars and APC type vehicles, but they also have attack helicopters that are rotor based, as well as Aerodynes (AV's) based off of vectored thrust and powered armor/minimechs. They also have a Main Battle Tank, the M-11.
The M-11 is... and I quote:
the Army's current state of the art main battle tank. Cyberlinked, fast, heavily armored and extremely expensive, it is supposed to be too costly for the corporations to match or exceed.
For special equipment it almost generically lists the following (lists are similar for many of the vehicles): Composite Armor, Amphibious Modications, damage control, environmental control, 12 man hours life support, anti-laser aerosol, chaff and IR smoke dispensers, 6 IR smoke dispensers, AEAMS (Active Explosive Anti-Missile System which uses radar/sonar to detect and destroy incoming projectiles with an explosive charge similar to a Claymore mine), military radio with scrambler, laser communicator, satellite uplink, multitarget, microwave and visual rangefinders, autopilot and navigation system, cybernetic linkage, ECM, ECCM, image enhancement, laser detector, microwave detector, military radar, military radar detector, telescopic optics, AND thermograph.
Oh and the weapons: Stabilized LATG (Light Anti-Tank Gun), Painting Laser and 2cm Rail Gun (with extra magazine apiece) in turret, AGAMS (Active Gatling Anti-Missile System with a 90% detection rate on missiles, or rockets engaged within 100 meters) and 30mm autocannon in small turret atop main turret, 6 Hellfire missiles in main turrent, 7.62mm Machine Gun in articulated mount on front hull.
It weighs 60 tons, has a crew of three, a top speed of 60mph, range of 300 miles and costs a mere 16.4 Cyberbucks.
![Stick out tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
It has an armor rating of 225 SP which each SP point translates to an equivalent of 2.5mm of steel armor protection so 563 mm of protection?
This 20mm Railgun has a penetration factor of 17. Comparatively a 120mm Tank Cannon has a penetration value of 13 and a 140mm Tank Cannon has a penetration value of 16... so... uhhh make of that what you will. The 20mm Railgun has a range of 1500m and the 120mm and 140mm Tank Cannon have a range of 1250m and 1500 meters respectively.
There is also a popular Corporate Tank, the M-75 Light Tank. 80mph, crew of two. with an SP of 60 and weighs in at 14 tons. It is only a tenth the cost of the M-11 Tank. It has a 12.7mm Machine gun and a stabilized 75mm gun in the turret and a fire control computer, reactive armor, amphibious modications, 4 IR smoke projectors, military radio with scrambler, laser and visual rangefinders, autopilot and navigation systems, image enhancement and thermograph.
Militech makes their own MBT, the MT-4 weighing in at 41 tons, with 160 SP's of armor, and a stabilized 1cm railgun, 25mm autocannon, and an HATGM fixed forward with seven optical/thermal missiles. It also has what hte M-75 has plus a laser communicator, anti-laser aerosol and IR smoke dispensers, composite armor, military tardar and military radar detector.
The US Military also has some attack helicopter types, nothing seems exceptional. An updated version of the A-10 Warthog, a jet fighter, fair number of hovercraft etc.
As for powered armor, here's a sampling. There's an earlier one called the Arasaka Standard B which has a radio, ECI WideBand HUD (potential capability in multitargeting, anti-dazzle/lowlight, image enhancement and teleoptics etc), EMP Sponge, Thermal Targeting, Monitor Auto Doc, and BSS Silicon Spray. It weights 691 kilograms and costs just over 89,000 EB. It's armed with an external carried 12.7mm Heavy Machine Gun, a Tsunami 25mm High Pressure Grenade Launcher in the right arm and an Auto-Fletchete Pistol and BSS Silicon Spray (a sticky glue for quick repairs) in the Left Arm. It has 50 SP's for armor.
Something more common might be the Militech Commando. It has Militech VRI (virtual reality interface(, a military Radio, A/V Recording, Laser Detection, Ribbon and Smoke Canisters, an EMP Sponge, a heavy BLADE for melee, a Repeater Autodoc, and can carry an external 40mm Automatic Grenade Launcher (based off the NATO standard), and a Reloadable ATGM. The right arm mounts a BCL-20 20mm cannon (not an autocannon, acts more like a rifle) and a ribbon canister (similar to ECM chaff), the left arm an M-31 PA (described as a stripped down M-31A1 AICW) and a IR blocking smoke canister. It has 65 SP's, weighs in at 1235 kilograms and costs 116,000 EB.
Then there's a bigger power suit which looks like a miniature mech called the Militech Nemesis. Weighs in at 1481 kilograms and MADE IN MEXICO. No external weapons carried. It has Militech VRI, a Long Range Radio and Scrambler, A/V Recording, Climbers, EMP Sponge, a repeateder Auto Doc, Flood/Filtration suit, a Mini Roc, and mounted in the right arm is a painting laser and a 13.9mm Rifle (based off the Boys AT Rifle caliber but lighter and semiautomatic), in the left arm is a 5.56mm minigun and mounted in the torso is a BHC-G8 30mm Rifle (a heavy rifle using shells similar to that of the A-10 Attack Planes autocannon).
