One thing I need to mention. Remember in our TL the name "tank" caught on because the British used that word to mis-identify the crates the vehicles were delivered in. The word "tank" won't be used here. Rather the name MAFV will be the tern used for these vehicles (Mobile Armored Fighting Vehicles).somewhat embarassingly for Germany, A-H was the only country in the CP before ww1 which had a prototype tank in design along with the British, French and Russians. The war put that project into hold, and never came into fruition otl. Without tanks being used in this war, it will be the pre-war engineers of British, Russian, French and Austro-Hungarian firms which will be leading the tank development and not Germany ittl. Germany before 1916 otl did not give the theory of a tank much credence, and only gave it thought after its effects used by the British were seen. Don't let otl 1930s cloud your views on military development. With the pre-war situation mostly intact in terms of designs, it will be Britain, France, Russia and austria-Hungary leading the tank development in this theoretical interwar era.
