== Description ==
The '''Gürteltier Main Battle Tank''' was a frontline combat vehicle produced for [[House Steiner]] in the early 3080s.  The tank was designed as a multipurpose combat vehicle to fill in the roles that lighter [[Patton]] and [[Rommel]] tanks serve in their own respective weight class.  

The tank was later sold to the [[Federated Suns]] and the [[Republic of the Sphere]] for their armed forces' C3-networked units.<ref name="TRO:3085p50+"/>

== Weapons and Equipment ==
The tank's main weaponry is composed of its [[Poland Main Model A]] Gauss Cannon and [[Defiance 1001]] Extended Range PPC which are mounted in the turret.  Also mounted there is a [[TharHes]] 7-tubed Multi-Missile Launcher, which has 3 ammunition bins from which to draw different ordnance.<ref name="TRO:3085p50+"/>

The tank has three [[Coventry Light Autogun]]s mounted right, left and rear to offer some protection against infantry forces.  In addition to the impressive weaponry, the tank's hull is protected by 19 tons of Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor with CASE integrated into it. The bulk of the tank's armor is placed on its front side with modest protection to is other areas.<ref name="TRO:3085p50+"/>

The Gürteltier's electronics include a [[C3 slave|C3 slave computer]] and a [[Guardian ECM Suite]]. This gives the tank the ability to coordinate its actions while disrupting enemy C3 Networks and other advance electronics.<ref name="TRO:3085p50+"/>

== Variants ==
*;C3 Master : Being produced at [[Introduction Year::3086]]<ref name="MUL2"/>, the Gürteltier's command variant that was created to coordinate a full lance of C3-equipped units.  This version removes the Gauss Rifle to make room for the larger [[C3 Computer (Master)|C3 Master Computer]]. In its place, a [[LB 10-X Autocannon|Class 10 LB-X Autocannon]] was installed in the turret.  A [[Targeting Computer]] has been added to the turret as well to help guide the tank's weaponry. Additional weaponry includes a forward firing Light Machine Gun and an[[Artemis IV FCS|Artemis IV Fire Control]] slaved to the MML-launcher<ref name="TRO:3085p50+"/>.
