Your Nation's Main Battle Tank (No Mechs) [Part 1]

Why does EVERYONE use this image now??? Its more popular than the Abrams

[Malshan]

The Malshan MBT is the Umbrage Tank. It uses a powerful version of our energy shield technology (shield pops into place when incoming ordanance gets near). This saves on energy requirements. The armaments of this tank are: a Bohemoth-class 20inch IBCM launcher, 4 interchangeable turrets (Metal Storm packs, EMP units, HARUs (High Altitude Rifle Units), LRCBLUs (Long Range Carpet Bomb Launching Units), or LKS/TDUs (Living Kinetic Strikes/Troop Delivery Units (High impact Power armor)). Those latter units are railgun delivery systems). Defenses: 8ft of tungsten+titanium alloy, PHALANX anti-missile systems (30mm Chaingun), and SAMs (8inch high explosive with energy drill head). The specifications of this tank:
1. 170ft. from ground to top of tank.
2. Four 27ft. treads.
3. 300ft. smoothbore main cannon.
4. Loaded weight (16-20in. rounds, full compliment of staff, 4 LKS/TDUs, and proton generator for the energy shield).
5. Power=4 proton generators=about 12000HP.

So basically what you have is a rolling base, yes?

[L3 Communications]

NS Tanks are also rediculous, unrealistic and outright wank in 99.98% of all cases. So dinosaurs > tanks? Sure. Godzilla can ****ing step on them, enough said.

True, true, in fact, remembering Battletanx (a video game I managed to rent when I was a kid for the N64) and the Goliath Tanks smushing the tiny Moto tanks makes me want to make a special tank class for squashing the tiny MT tanks Humans use. Not much of battlefield value, but enough to scare the living hell outta the enemy!

Flippy tank > All.

I still have that, and Global Assault.

Flamethrower tank <3

I had both GA and the original, but I sold my N64 a while back. ):

[Satirius]

I can not, in good conscience, answer this without details on the kind of guidance system and range for those ATGMs.

Corona V with an 8 km range or LAHATs.

Now that I think about it, a backwards M4A4 Sherman(with a boxer engine to free up room and for moar power) weighs only 31.6 tonnes. That's air-portable, and I could probably make that 76 gun with an evacuator and an auto and then I've pretty much turned into the IDF.

Panzer IV is only 25 though

Your theories and views interest me, and I wish to subscribe to your magazine.

Will post on NSD come Friday or Saturday afternoon.

Brand new nations with massive military capabilities, insane tanks, and FT lolwank make me sad in my pants.

Cause it's what all the kool kidz on NS do

[Old Vester]

Well right now I'm too poor to build tanks but if I could have a tank it would either be the german King Panther or the Sherman firefly because they seem cheaper to make then more modern day ones.

[L3 Communications]

My FT tank uses a fucking diesel engine, and the really old version has an 120mm smoothbore ETC gun (The slightly less old version has a 125mm rifled ETC gun.) and a .50 BMG coaxial. I don't call it ".50 BMG" but it's almost the same round with an extra milimeter of casing because I hate how it's 12.7x99mm and not 12.7x100mm.

Funny, I came in with ultralight tanks with tiny barrels and integrated missile launchers...*headtilt*...does that mean I'm not cool?\

I still say that's more of a HQ on treads than a vehicle

The T-55 isn't too much more expensive, and can outgun and outrun both.

Our small but glorious Empire is still using the greatest battle tank ever created for the purpose of battling! Behold, the mighty Mark V!

Nay, AT! let's slap some NERA on there and colour it up in digicam!

Or give it UberCeramics with rail-guns and particle cannons.

That is if Nicksylvannia approves

I see many impossible things here.
ICBM launcher?
4 turrets?
And weapons that are more stupid?
8 Feet of very expensive armor?
CIWS system?
SAMs with energy drills? What?
170 feet tall?
4 treads?
300ft cannon?
12000HP motor?
Um, this wasn't a joke, right?....

It probably was. Who hasn't gotten the urge to troll these threads, it is funny angering the serious people that fight over how feasible a Ratte tank is when none of them would use it. I think this guy is just a crappy troll, or trying to joke like the guys with the death stars on the 'main military weapon' thread.

Cottonera`s Army Main Battle Tank:
Landkreuzer P. 1000 Ratte

Me wonder how big Das Landkreuzer would look compared to this, the largest Dinosaur in existence:

Then again, who hasn't had the mild urge to weaponise and militarise one of NASA's launch platform crawlers and use it as a (exceedingly, punishingly slow) mobile platform for artillery or HQ

Maybe, unless the Dino had a big motherfucking version of THIS:

Maybe, unless the Dino had a big motherfucking version of THIS:

A pity it would be so fucking big and cumbersone that the thing's effectiveness would quickly plummit to 0%. Meanwhile, the dino would still have several large holes blasted in it.
