Camouflage And Other Anomalies

Urban Camo(standard issue):
Due to the predominately urban terrain of our nation, an urban camouflage is best suited for general use among our infantry and ground units. It also is easy to distinguish between friendly and enemy units due to the fact that few nations feature camo that isn't tan or green. In the bottom left you can see the Rexzich flag denoting it's nationality. In the center you will see the Krimzon Guard Insignia which will only ever be seen on Krimzon Guard vehicles or as a patch worn by infantry. This designation is necessary to distinguish between military and civilian tanks because civilians may own and operate tanks here. On the right you will see a flag denoting the area of origin. In this instance however a Krimzon Guard flag is utilized due to the tank operating at the walls surrounding the country which are entirely administered by the Krimzon Guard.

Forest Camo:
During the Rexzich City period, forest camo was only ever seen on the uniforms of infantry units due to the inability of vehicles to travel through the Forest Zone of Rexzich City. This original forest camo featured an additional shade of green in place of the current grey. The current pattern was devised following the expansion into the Khaos Kollective which opened up new forest areas which could be traversed by vehicles, as well as the expansion and diversification of the Krimzon Guard which made combat in other possibly forested nations a greater possibility. Therefore the current form of forest camo which is used both by infantry and armour units feature grey in place of the dark green which has been found to work better in a greater array of environments. It should also be noted that this particular version is in use with the Security Council Guard and therefor features the Security Council flag on the right.

Desert Camo:
This one may come off as a bit on the bright yellow side when compared to a white background, but in the deserts of the Khaos Kollective which exhibit a yellow tint, this camouflage works fairly well. Note the Deserters(Desert Zone) Flag on the right indicating it's zone of origin.

Snow Camo:
Not much to be said about this one. What you see is what you get.

Civilian Example:
In the Khaos Kollective it is perfectly legal for citizens to own tanks(and street legal too). This leads a handful of citizens and certain nomadic convoys to employ surplus military vehicles for their own uses. One such example is this tank shown below. This tank was acquired by Martha Ambers and Lynda Clear and has been converted into a small home. They reasoned that by owning this surplus tank themselves they'd be reclaiming this war machine and turning it into something positive for humanity.

International Brigades:
Rexzich City and the following Khaos Kollective have at various points considered forming international brigades, entering defense agreements with nations with no military or inadequate defense, and participating in partisan organisations. In preparation for such eventualities the Krimzon Guard often creates alternate paint schemes and designations so that we will have them prepared for such an event. This tank is painted with a foreign form of camouflage which was being considered by a newly formed 'Socialist Defense Alliance', but was never adopted. This organisation later dispersed but if we had chosen to join them we would've utilized the SDA flag in place of the KG flag, or the local flag(right).

PMC:
This tank is owned by a large PMC which operates out of Mirror City. This tank features no national or local designations, but will feature the logo of the PMC in the center(not seen here).

Police:
The Krimzon Guard often tries to give the research and development team new challenges to keep their skills sharp with each passing generation. One such request is for an existing tank model to be converted into a 'Police Tank'. It should first be noted that there is no traditional police force in the Khaos Kollective(not withstanding Mirror City). However this task results in a few interesting changes. Firstly, the main gun has been replaced with a special water cannon to disperse protesters. Second, both the turret gun and coaxial machine gun utilize rubber bullets. And third, it features police lights on top of the turret, just in case you have trouble spotting a bright blue tank rolling down main street.

Fire:
Second verse, same as the first. This 'Fire' tank was a project undertaken by the research and development team. Unlike the police tank which sits in a warehouse once it's finished, these 'fire' vehicles are often used by local fire departments. The main gun has once again been replaced by a water cannon, and lights can still be found atop the turret. However the guns maintain live ammo, because we're such a militaristic nation that even our fireman need machine guns! That being said the tank also features fire extinguishers on either side of the rear cage, as well as a handful of fire axes.

San Silvacian MBT EXP1:
Some times a bright red paint job and water cannon just aren't enough of a challenge for our engineers, that's when we hurl this at them, the hybrid tank. This particular model marries the turret of the San Silvacian MBT with the hull of the San Silvacian T2009A1 Medium Tank. Many combinations have occurred over time, but this version happens to actually look good.

Team Skyline:
Following the establishment of the RXC Sensha-dō League, a star team quickly arrose from Sora City, Rexzich City. Following their local success, they went on to compete in the International Sensha-dō League! This tank features a striking black and red paint job which initially caused a stir in the nation due to the historical association of black and red with the KOA flag. However, during an interview with Sensha-dō Monthly, the captain of the team stated that the colours were in no way intended to represent the history of politics of the KOA, rather that they simply wanted to make their tanks look intimidating and stand out from the others.
