However, due to its high cost and complexity to build them never allowed them to be mass-produced and widely used in the field. Its cannon can demolish both friendly and foe alike, and its armor is thick enough to make the both 12.6mm Vulcan rounds and 127mm cannon munitions from SV-001 bounce off without doing much damage. This vehicle was mainly designed for defensive purposes. The AI has left more to be desired, however, as it is prone to making IFF mistakes and frequently run over friendly soldiers. The result was that the tank was able to operate even under a very harsh environment where no manned vehicle could ever dare to attempt. Its compactness enables it to travel at high speed, while its rifled main gun offers enough firepower to deal with almost any threat.ĭuring the design phase, the designers decided to utilize AI instead of making it manned. They already knew that the Regular Army was working on such a vehicle, the SV-001, and the Girida-O came out to be its closest counterpart. The Rebellion required a main battle tank that had a good range of mission profile, with balance between firepower, mobility and survivability.
This did not offer much invisibility to the enemy ground troops nearby, but it made it nearly impossible to be detected on regular spy satellites and reconnaissance aircraft. However, they did not have much protection from aircraft, so the designers reinforced its top armor and partially camouflaged the vehicle as a big boulder. The Bull Chan was specifically designed to cross rugged terrain and climb hills, with very high ground clearance and wide tracks, and attack the enemy from high hilltops and mountains, making them perfect for ambushing enemies in mountainous terrains. The Rebel tacticians thought that the Regular Army could attack them from more rugged terrains and decided to make a vehicle specially designed to counter it. Even when the Rebels had to create the tank's main gun in very limited conditions, it still retained its high quality, which made it highly capable of being mass-produced. With its production cost reduced, the Rebel army was able to produce many of these, and they remain the most produced tank by the Rebels till now. But it is suspected that the turret had to remain stationary since the new cannon was too heavy. The engineers made their variant more compact, and replaced the two guns from the original variant with a single 155mm smoothbore gun which fired its ammunition at a high velocity.
