Our XK3 is based on a small scale model of the Next Generation Tank, unveiled by Hyundai during the ADEX 2023 expo in Seoul. The name "Phantom" is not official and was chosen by popular vote based on the suggestion of player Pasta_Senpai.
The model was developed without any doubt to be more eye-catching than anything else, but also to highlight the technologies that are being developed to upgrade the K2 as well as its replacement. The characteristics of the vehicle, as presented by Hyundai Rotem, are not known, but some can be discerned from taking a look at how the entire model is assembled. It's clear already that the future doesn’t lie in weight increases so the tank would very likely be very light (we're going with 55 tons). Pure passive protection is a thing of the past and the vehicle therefore features very advanced APS and jammers.
Several concepts of South Korean "next-gen MBT" were presented with a different one mentioning a 130mm smoothbore gun – so that's what we went with. The launcher is for advanced Raybolt ATGMs. And last but not least, no next-gen MBT concept would be complete without a hybrid engine (also mentioned in potential K2 upgrades).
Unlike some other games, we'd like to be clear in saying that we made most of the vehicle’s characteristics up. How much "fake" it is when an actual small-scale model exists (along with a nicely rendered video by Hyundai Rotem) – that, our dear players, we leave for you to judge.
