Military Ground Vehicles of Your Nation [NO MECHS] Mk.IV

did you say bunkers?

Primary armament: 8 inch (203mm) siege cannon
Secondary armament: 2 X BL 2.75 inch mountain guns
Tertiary armament: 3 x Hotchkiss mark 1 machine guns, Vickers machine gun

We really, really, really need to fight one another. Just for the amount of tank porn that would ensue from those threads.

I like how it looks.

Although, shouldn't the front treads be angled more? I can't think why but I just think a more angled track would give it more climbing ability, especially for such a heavy tank.

Given the armament he has I don't think this thing is supposed to be crossing trenches. More like stand back and pound away.

Even then, if the track is angled downwards more, it would allow it to ride over obstacles, rather than plow through them and have a higher risk of getting stuck.

What do you think is the optimal angle for large front tracks like those? (Am drawing some now)

I have absolutely no idea. I'm sure there are more tank-knowledgeable people here.

You can probably use mine to get an idea. I reckon it's angle would be sufficient.

Updated Mk.1. Now with sponsons.

Tanks of this era didn't really have the engine power to drive over things much more substantial than barbed wire.

I want to suggest adding a 15mm Armored Roof over the Canvas Roof, 12.5mm Sides, and a 8mm Rear Area around the Machine Gun for the Siege Cannon area. Aeroplanes with Guns and Bombs and Artillery Splinters/Bullets existed in 1917. Don't want a 203mm shell and/or Powder Bags exploding on top of the Tank.

Does anyone have any idea if the engine and electric suspension that were used on the St. Charmond could all fit within say 3.5-3.6 meters worth of space length wise? Because that's what my scalings are giving me and I want to make sure.

When I say ride over things, I really mean just get high enough over the obstacle so that you don't get stuck. Spreading the weight out works.

Sumer's internal diagrams from earlier will hopefully give you a decent confirmation.

Those are the ones I scaled from IIRC.

Alright than. Here is an alternate question. What do you think about taking a 9K22 and rechambering the guns in that 40mm Supershot round that's really just a 40mm shell in a 30mm one.

I know this post is a bit old, but I went camping this weekend so I wasn't able to ask my question before I lost internet capability (and the question is really only semi-related anyways. >.<)

How important is velocity on an anti-aircraft autocannon? Is there an established minimum? The lightly bottlenecked/necked up rounds are a nice idea for the nations that can't use telescoped ammo for whatever reason, but it seems like you lose so much velocity.

So wait, no legged vehicles...dammit, that means no Striders or Hunters...although they're not technically mechs.

Oh well, I still have one more

The APC

They're legged robots not designed to be manipulated directly by a controller's appendanges. They're mechs. Just because they have some other name for them does not make them something else.

[Empire of Combine]

Not robots, cyborgs. Get your facts straight.

... Why are you trying to shoot your own horrible armor off?

Also you could ya know? Post your info if you want anyone to actually comment on it.

The BMP-1 thanks you for being able to slaughter your APCs.

My Troop Carrier could slaughter this San

M3 Lee Grant also can for lulz. Its 37mm turret also could mess it up.

If your Main vehicle can be killed by a 37mm Your doing it wrong, I think my trucks could even survive a glancing blow from that

Not really. The modern BMP wouldn't survive a side hit with a 37mm. It might survive a frontal, but you're lucky if it does.

Glancing buddy Not a hit. That fucker looks like it would roll over if ti got hit

The best anti-Combine weapon?

Some middle-aged fucker in a orange suit with a crowbar.

You go blind from the suit and get beaten by the Crowbar?
