Military Ground Vehicles of Your Nation [NO MECHS] Mark 8

[New Visegrad]

Refined the medium tank design since people seem to like it. Also had a go at one of its modern descendants.

Squee~

The bottom one, OMG, it's so cyuuuute!!! <3

I have no idea what to do with the turret.

I was thinking basing it on the turret of a Leo 2A4, but that ended up lolfat and fugly.

Any ideas?

Reto'st 'cause the page bottomed me out.

[Purpelia]

Where is the engine? There is not enough room for it in the back or the front. Not unless you are willing to make cooling a nightmare by covering up your radiators with the turret.

Get rid of Porches petrol-electric transmission and there would be plenty of room at the back for the engine

I am not saying you can't fit the engine. I am saying that you need an open surface above it for the radiators.

It has the same sized engine deck as the front engined model, which is the same size as the Ferdinands.

How about something like a Cockerill XC-8 turret?

I really like the top one. The lines you have given it suggest speed. Very nice.

The baby tank below is pretty cute but I think it would look better if it had the turret of its big brother.

I think it might be fun to make a 3D model of the top tank. Would you mind?

[Paragania]

I know this thread isn't really for scenes, so I hope this counts:

A Paraganian M500A5 Lance SPG stops to scout the path ahead on a beach before eventually moving on.


I assume whoever was on that beach before ran away and left their picnic there before the area was secured.

[Novorden]

Added to my heavy APC, now with more dakka.

[Imperializt Russia]

Your shading and greebles are just too good, these days.

The baby tank is a much more modern scout vehicle rather than a direct relative of the medium tank, so it'd look kinda odd with a WW2 turret. It's supposed to be deployed alongside the Sera.
This is just a first draft of it though so there's still plenty of room for changes.

You're welcome to try a 3D model. I haven't done a topdown or anything for it, but it's essentially a T-34 hull with a Pz III or IV turret.

Seems dangerously front heavy.

Yeah centre seems better

Jagdtiger? (Fordjagdtiger)

[The balkens]

Jagdtiger? (Fordjagdtiger)

I think the Jagdtiger had a longer "Casemate" (I have no idea what they called where they put the gun, because most German TD's tended to be turretless). Not to mention, it was based upon a Tiger II chassis, as the Ferdinand was based on the Porsche Tiger.

Casemate is the correct term.

And I'm not sure which has the longer casemate as I can't find any measurements for either. I assume the Jagdtigers would be longer though since the Ferdinand couldn't fit the Pak 44

[Tule]

Is it just me, or is smoke a highly underestimated tool for modern warfare on this site?

I don't think underestimated. There just isn't all that much to discuss.

Quite. The Ferdinand (also known as the Elefant) had the Pak 43. It wasnt exactly well liked by its crews, so i have heard.

The Ferdinand was the first model. The Elefant was the second, which had the MG 34, Commander's cuppola, thicker frontal armour, wider tracks and neato burrito Zimmerit. I guess the names can be interchangable but it's good to know the differences between the two.

I hope you didn't just say the Pak 43 wasn't well liked. If you mean the vehicle, you're pretty much right. Porche's petrol-electric transmission was probably one of the most unreliable vehicle parts of the war. That shit was so bad. They would have been happy with the protection it offered though. They just couldn't maneuver to face the enemy all that well.

I meant the tank itself, the Pak-43 was absolutely gorgeous .

And as this photo demonstrates
http://www.fprado.com/armorsite/Tiger-2 ... /PaK43.jpg

IT IS A VERY BIG GUN.

Isn't it really limited to the targeting of individual vehicles and the concealment of individual infantry units?
Not to mention, WP smoke is apparently not only toxic but penetrating to typical gas masks.

Looking at the crew they don't like it either.

It's likely true.

Thats probably because they are pushing it up the road rather then having a vehicle tow it.

"Hey herr Sergeant, why cant we have that vehicle tow this huge thing up the road to the defensive position?"

"Quit applying logic to this, we still use horses for heavy lifting!"

[The Pacifican Islands]

I wanted to post something about a SPAAG, so here. Again, I made a model.

Flakpanzer AA 7-2 "Autoflak"

http://imgur.com/xKUyMHS

Manufacturer: Jetfox Industries
Main Armament: 48 Stryker AA- Anti Tank Missles
Secondary Armament: 76mm Oto Melara Super Rapid gun, 3 M2 Brownings

It has a missile system similar to the MIM-46 Mauler, and has a gun to attack long range targets such as a approaching attack helicopter from 10km out.

Tell me what you think!
