...you put four 30 mm cannons on a Stuart?

I mean it's all looking amazing as the norm, but... that poor Stuart, and anything in it.

EDIT: I edited my tag on the first page to be full of tank.

[Arkania 5]

Pfft. This is still the best tank game ever. Who doesn't remember playing it in primary school and convincing the teacher it was educational?

It's that old?

[Radictistan]

I played a similar game when I was a kid, only the player's position was fixed. That's a feature I haven't seen before that I like. Mine involved two farmers shooting cows at one another.

Please...
I guarantee thee that Supreme Ruler's series, combined with World of Tanks, Thomas Clancy's series, among others of this genre, are the best tank games of all time.

just how made tanks thread end up getting made last night ?

That's an awfully small tank. That looks like... 5-6 feet high (to the turret roof) with about a 3 inch gun. Tanks are cramped enough as it is, but I think at best you'd be able to fit two crew (human or pony) into that.

The T-84 is actually 7 ft. 3 in. tall. Soviet tanks have always gone for extremely low profiles at the expense of crew comfort and gun depression range.

Bleh. I sort of assumed that a pony nation wouldn't be using a real tank and was just using a stock photo. In the image given, the pony is about 190 pixels tall, not counting the horn, hair or ears, and the tank is about 230 pixels tall not counting all the sensors, guns and junk on top of the turret. Assuming that this: http://brainbread.deviantart.com/art/Li ... -260565429 has the accurate dimensions, the tank can therefore be estimated at 5 feet tall. Since most real-life MBTs are around 8 feet high with a 4.7" gun, assuming everything scales a five-foot tall tank would have a gun bore of about 3 inches.

If that's a real tank, then the pony needs to be about 35% smaller.

[Confederate States of California]

The M60A1 is the MBT of the Army and Marine Corps, currently phasing out the M48.

As of now Challenger II, but I plan on making a domestic design. I just have to finish doing my aircraft.

Well, in the absence of any other information, and since it is both a real image and the same model number, I assumed he was talking about the 'stock' T-84 with whatever modifications are needed to accommodate equine crew. Of course, height would be the least concern when modifying a tank designed for bipedal operators for use with quadripeds. The already-cramped interior would be even worse when trying to accommodate a crew of equines.

[Immoren]

Immoren's main battle tanks are
Leopard 2A6

Each armoured brigade has three tank battalion's worth of these
Leopard 2A4

Each mechanized infantry brigade has a tank battalion's worth of these
Leopard 1A5.

Each motorized infantry brigade has company of these in brigades hq-and-support battalion.

Edit:It is said that upgrade to 140mm is necessary to make RL!tanks competitive against NS!tanks, but I have to ask: Does it mean on all ranges or is this requirement on need based on assumption that tank combat always takes place in East-European Steppes/Fields of Germany/Deserts of Middle-East/wherever tanks can open fire on maximum distance? Or would 120mm be enough against NS!tanks in close combat situation (by tank standards) in terrain similar to what is found in Fenno-Scandia?

[Gawdzendia]

Asking the thread to see if there is anything else I can add to the insofar final edit of the Landship.

...I'm tempted to call it the sphinx based off of profile alone.

Some OC for this thread, because Senestrum Tank Thread is best tank thread:

The Dragon Main Battle Grav Tank is crewed by two marines and armed primarily with a gravitic-assisted railgun and heavy autorail as the coaxial weapon. A gravity drive keeps it off the ground, while a pair of gravitic ramjets offer surprising speed and manoeuvrability for its size.
As well as being terrifying in its own right, the Dragon is also highly versatile, with two hard points on the main turret which can be upgraded with a variety of weapons, sensors and communications suites. During an invasion, the Dragon can also be fitted with a heavy-duty grav-chute similar to those used by warriors. This allows them to be dropped out of the landing craft while it is still in flight, getting them into the battle that much quicker. Additionally, the chassis itself is also used as the basis for an Armoured Personnel Carrier and Self-Propelled Artillery variants.
I'm going to redesign it some time soon. The current version is stupidly huge (11x6x3m and 120 tonnes) with a 250mm main gun. As well as making it smaller, I'm going to give it a wider, more obviously armoured turret and widen the hull at the front front to conceal the jet intakes, since they're very vulnerable with the current shape. The gunner/commander's also going to end up in the turret instead of next to the driver in the hull.

Also, raging we never got to page 1000 so I could declare the superiority of mechs over tanks as an absolute truth (trollface.jpg)

I KNOW RIGHT

The mods just had to pull this while I was driving home, and now I've got some pretender starting tank threads D:<

Well we pure of heart know where the true tank thread is and, as you said, will not lend it credibility by....slumming within it

Of course, theres still the matter of the heretic who was presumptuous enough to attempt to usurp the authority of the proper thread. Burn him, I say!

Apparently its a puppet of The Akasha Colony. Apparently he made an MT puppet just for the sake of starting the tanks thread. As OP of NS's official mech thread, I will not be supporting these knock-off brand threads with my custom

Poor RRoan.
She will be heartbroken.

I'm gonna have to post the MMW Mk5 OP before the Mk4 gets locked, in this case.

[Lubyak]

Welp, time to post my MBT write up for you all to rip to shreds....

The primary Lubyakan MBT is the T-110 'Ogre' Main Battle Tank.

Yay, I found it!

The People's Standing Army uses the Samozniy Workshops Heavy Armoured Vehicle Type 2 (SW-HAV-2) "King David" battle tank.
The current-issue variant is the HAV-2-X Mod 2 (HAV-2 Mod 4)/ILS.
The ILS, or Improved Lethality System, package replaces the Commander's RWS (which normally holds either the CSW-1 "Shrike" 14.5x114mm machine gun, CSW-1B "Shrike Para" 12.7x99mm machine gun or an SAW-3 "Kodkod" 7.62x51mm GPMG) with a light turret mounting a CSW-10 25x145mm chain-driven autocannon with co-axial SAW-3 (alternatively a heavier CSW-9 30x165mm autocannon at reduced ammunition capacity), and placing a modified CSW-1 (CSW-1D) as a co-axial to the tank's main gun.
The main gun is a 125mm system derived from the Russian 2A46/M tank armament, and mated with a new case-based propellant, giving round dimension of 125x525mm.

The powertrain of the Mod 4 is the Forza Greentank diesel-electric hybrid drive, as opposed to the original (and export) D/E powertrain, that ran solely from an electric engine powered from a heavy diesel engine.
Whilst this adds a gearbox to the system, the different power production method, as well as the improved fuel consumption and energy use, comes with multiple benefits to performance and capability.
