What is DSIG? Shortly after the Nuran war, veteran tank commander Wang Zhiming founded Damao South Industries Group (DSIG) in the 1340s in the state of Damao. Wang had experienced both the pros and cons of Sekiyan Armour, and had learnt firsthand where improvements could be made. DSIG Originally started out making advanced optics for light armour, with a focus on improved gunner sights and periscopes. Following the success of this venture, DSIG turned to the research of compositions and began producing cast armour for the Yin Group. As DSIG accumulated experience in the defence sector, the company began planning it's first armoured weapons system: the Damao Main Battle Tank. The tank took around a decade to design and would go on to win a government contract to make Sekiya's next generation of MBT. Following this, DSIG started to expand. First, it went north into the state of Saiqi, before expanding into Cuiyu and Heping. Following the development of the new Damao 3 MBT, another plant was opened in Daxing. Current Locations: Red: Damao State DSIG continues to be the driving force in the development of tanks in Sekiya and has currently produced 3 generations of the Damao MBT. Generations of the Damao MBT: Damao 1A (1363) - The Damao 1A marked DSIG's entry into Sekiya's list of defence conglomerates. Replacing the dated 1342 Yin MT, the Damao 1A boasted enhanced firepower and advanced systems. Damao 1B (1367) - In the wake of better electronics, the Damao 1B had a better firing computer and stabiliser. Damao 1C (1373) - The Damao 1C introduced improved frontal armour and advanced communications systems. Damao 2A (1383) - The Damao 2A introduced a Hybrid Electric Drive system and a Composite Modular Armour, as well as an overall redesign to the hull and engine, keeping the same turret as the Damao 1C. Damao 2B (1392) - The Damao 2B introduced early Active Protection Systems, as well as a redesigned crew service, giving more space in the interior. Damao 3A (1414) - The Damao 3A introduced a radical overhaul of the tanks overall design. It features advancements in signature reduction and implements basic AI into the tank that assists with real-time threat analysis, predictive maintenance and decision support. Additionally, the Damao 3A marked the first upgrade in calibre, with a 120mm smoothbore cannon. What will be expected to be shown at the First DSIG Convention? It is speculated that the convention will reveal the Damao 3B, the successor to the Damao 3A, however it is currently not yet known what changes this may bring. Additionally, leaks have speculated that Damao will be unveiling a new line of Infantry Fighting Vehicle. Damao has confirmed that it will be showcasing its state-of-the-art VR Training Simulations. These VR Zones will allow participants to sit in a replica of a Damao 3A, with the viewpoints replaced with the virtual scene. The Simulator is able to simulate shock, fire and over 20 different scenarios in different biomes. A scaled down demo has currently been on the published on several VR consoles and the simulator is expected to exit testing in late 1424, where it will be used by the Sekiyan Army to train its tank crews.
