J.A. ZA-2[]
The ZA-2 is a grey and very small tankette designed for killing infantry or providing some additional firepower for the soldiers. It's concidered J.A.'s first tank on the market.

Generally a very small tankette, having a grey painting on it and being half the size of a average full-grown adult. The Tankette is very uncomferable to sit in. It also features a commander/gunner cupola for keeping surrounding awareness.

- Primary Armament: 14.5MM Machinegun AP-T
- Secondary Armament: 7.62MM Machinegun AP-T
- Ammunutions total: 2469 AP-T 7.62 Shells | 660 AP-T 14.5 Shells | Total = 3129 AP-T Shells
- Overall armour: 8mm - 19mm
Advantages[]
The original ZA-2's only advantage was it's extremely light chassis which made it possible to be easily transported. The upgraded model of the ZA-2; ZA-2U made it's speed. armament and armor greatly increased.
Disadvantages[]
The original ZA-2 has poor speed, armor and armaments, this issue was so bad that serveral buyers started to discard the tanks and return them back. J.A. responded with developing a upgrade to solve these problems and came with the ZA-2U. The current issues of the ZA-2U is it's armament that is not fit for tank-to-tank combat and is still vurnable to most if not all tank guns. The ZA-2U's 20MM HMG has a heavy recoil on the turret and therefor J.A. recommends the users to fire the HMG in short bursts to avoid inaccurate fire.
