Not sure if this was the best place. But I was thinking is this the sort of thing that Maxwell's Militia would build?

Much cheaper, easier to build and maintain than a real M1 Abrahams. But if you need something frightening to keep the peasants in line then it looks close enough to it's scary big brother.

Creating a situation that teams may either be surprised they popped that tank with a LAW.

Then dismayed the enemy has half a dozen of them and they don't seem to run out of fuel.

Maxwell's Militia (3rd edition) operates M60A1 tanks and some heavy guns (unknown type). These are simpler and easier to maintain. The rangefinder is mechanical, a coincidence rangefinder. The V-12 diesel motor is found in large bulldozers and other equipment. Keeping that going is keeping a fair bit of industry going, if only at a very low rate.

Diesel fuel from coal conversion.
Electricity generation and probably producing batteries.
Smokeless gunpowder, TNT, Mercury fulminate.
Steel alloys.
Precision machined parts.

How many layers there is between the King and the Peasant in this feudal soiety isn't fleshed out yet. The Rights of the peasants or if they even have any or Law in general.
