-Following its early years in service, tank crews serving in the [[faction:nepleslia:vehicles:maximus_hmbt]] progressively reported faults with the design, which included things like a very limited operational range (due to the diesel engine with the fusion counterpart), slow responding APS((Active Protection System)), and a lack of a dedicated place to store crew essential items such as spare parts, cigarettes, porno magazines and alcohol. Upon the receiving these complaints, the NSMC sent a request to NAM for an overhaul of the platform to extend its service life instead of designing a whole new vehicle. +Following its early years in service, tank crews serving in the original Maximus HMBT progressively reported faults with the design, which included things like a very limited operational range (due to the diesel engine with the fusion counterpart), slow responding APS((Active Protection System)), and a lack of a dedicated place to store crew essential items such as spare parts, cigarettes, porno magazines and alcohol.

 The enhancement of the Mk II Maximus faced a lot of challenges to meet the demands of the NMSC; for example, to increase the operational range of the vehicle, as well as to power the new weapon systems. To achieve that, the powerpack had to be enlarged and updated, which translated to a longer rear hull to accommodate it. The enhancement of the Mk II Maximus faced a lot of challenges to meet the demands of the NMSC; for example, to increase the operational range of the vehicle, as well as to power the new weapon systems.
