Military Ground Vehicles of Your Nation [NO MECHS] Type 6

[Anemos Major]

The picture from which I’ve used for the following example is the Tiger P. This was in competition with the Tiger One. Also with the engine output that was a mistake accidently made, not intended to be intentional by any means. Also the Tiger P’s engine was electric also was regarded as one of the most advanced German tanks. Sadly the tank never saw combat because of the over-the-top complexity.

As for the barrel that was another mistake and shall be changed.

It did see combat, albeit in a very limited capacity (sorry, didn't notice you were using the Porsche Tiger's stats - in a bit of a rush this morning).



Complexity's one way of putting it - it was also hellishly unreliable (though not entirely through faults in its design). What it lacked in the needless complexity of the Tiger I's front-drive, it more than made up for with its faulty alternate drivetrain.

The engine wasn't electric. It was a Porsche petrol engine powering two generators which drove two electric motors. Not exactly advanced either, this sort of drivetrain is very old and one which Porsche was comfortable with.

The electrical engine was very unreliable. The thing was prone to fires which would cause havoc however, only one served as a command tank during the war.

The bodies of later production models where used for the Elephant tank destroyer. Which shared many mechanical problems.

For it's time it was.

It was also very complex beyond all other details.

Ferdinand Porsche made his first hybrid car in 1901. At first it was the better option because it was more reliable than mechanical couplings and multi-ratio gearboxes. This changed very quickly, but Porsche liked it and stuck with it.

It was also very complex beyond all other details.

According to whom? The complexity involved here is no greater than the drivetrain of the Tiger I.

Not really sad.

Kevyt Taistelupanssarivaunu 2000 (Light battle tank 2000) is part of Immorean Armed Forces to create family of battle tanks for its own need as part of modernization of armed forces and for possible exports (other vehicles of "family" are 60 tonne Keskiraskas Taistelupanssarivaunu 2000 and 90 tonne Raskas Taistelupanssarivaunu 2000). KvTSTPsV 2000 in context of Immorean armed forces is meant to be part of motorized brigades equipment and act as light weight MBT. Lighter weight was chosen to reduce logistics foot print and to allow greater cross country manouvrebility at expense of protection, due to combination of light-weight large tracks and large power-to-weight ratio...

I don't quite recall how relativistic effects work and it's too early in the morning to bother, but I would figure that despite near-speed-of-light, the impact mass is very low (since the nearer to speed of light you come objects gain mass).

As I understand it, Meggitt is primarily conceptualised to allow autoloader capability within the existing turret volume of the Abrams.
There's not much reason for an RL tank to go with it.

They just look too British.
But what's the patch on the left guy's shoulder?

Tracking in to new thread. and hi Anemos good to see you.

what's being used as material for tank gun ?.. is it the same as rifle barrel ?

Why i'm asking ? Because i need the name and density of the material as input in my barrel making excel. So far i'm using 8250 kg/cubic meter, similar density as steel.

Isn't steel somewhere around 7850 kg/cubic meter?

High density steels probably top 8t/m³

What else are we going to use our Boiling Vessels for?
Cooking?

You disgust me sir.

T-64BV. My favorite tank ever, by a pretty wide margin. All that ERA...

Its not a tank though I think.

[Riysa]

Just going to repost whether or not a 1200mm L/D 40 (Diameter is 30 mm), with frustrum length 40 mm and upper frustrum base diameter 10 mm, fired from a 157mm, sound in terms of the dimensions being good or off?

[Ea90]

The best T-72?

Hmm.
What's its designation?

[Purpelia]

Microwave oven in each tank?

Microwave, and beer cooler knowing NS is standard in all tanks

Microwave, and beer cooler knowing NS is standard in all tanks

That's what I was thinking basically. I'd give the troops something to keep a drink cool and something to warm their rations in. I figure I can squeeze it into where the old hull storage for extra rounds was before safety standards changed for extra RP hilarity.

[Riysa]

Since it seems like people are posting T-72s, here's my contribution:



Syrian T-72M1V with TURMS-T; a similar vehicle or this exact same one was also captured by rebel forces.



Rebel M1 TURMS-T, this same tank has appeared in other videos, and it seems to be active with one of the largest Damascus-based battalions in the area.

From what I've understood a ton of their T-72s were upgraded or in the process of being upgraded to M1M standard, with some primarily attached to the Republican Guard being given TURMS-T, but I can't seem to find any photos of it, unless the ones labled as M1 are actually M1Ms.

Rebel M1V, without TURMS, but a nice look at the coaxial MG firing.
