British 'Defiance' type Battle-Tank (late TL5)

The first armoured human land vehicle to be constructed, tanks gave humans a fighting chance against the Martians. Although outclassed by Martian Fighting Machines they are still formidable vehicles. A wall of advancing tanks can make even Fighting Machines pause.
Although the use of armoured ground vehicles before World War I is not historical, Defiance type tanks could have been built using late TL5 technology
