My MBT, and the Tanks of my Puppets

Postby The State of Czecho-Slovakia » Thu Jul 05, 2012 1:57 pm

My MBT is the Mark V Medium tank. Initial units where ordered from Austrio-Slava, but subsequently produced in great numbers by Kitsune Motors, and auto manufacturer in my protectorate Kitsunetsuki. These equip our Army, and the AEF. (See the Chrysanthemum Alliance regional message board). The AEF is also equipped with FT -17 light tanks. My colony, Ume-shi, uses several variants of the Sherman tank, so that I can RP in the WW2 and postwar eras as well as the interwar period.

I made this a while ago, but I'm starting to notice if i look at it for lke a minute or so...is the turret too small?

Image


I didn't notice it before, but it seems pretty damn clear to me that (using the schoolgirl's head), the turret really doesn't look like it can fit more than 2 people. in which it puts the the entire tank to failure, because it needs 2 people in the turret for usage.

God dammit i need bigger paper.

There's no point of it being right if it doesn't actually work like the big hunk of "airstrike target" above my post lol

actually, i think almost all of the tanks i draw are pretty damn cramped, someone noted that about my DT-20 tank too.

That's awfully considerate of them!

Seriously, though. One would think they could have kept the other threads in the middle, instead of putting them off at the side.

lol it was supposed to be an osculating unmanned MG turret lol. and the thumbs which you see was an aiming sight attached (which i now realize has no purpose since it's unmanned).

As for drawing people smaller, that's difficult for me to do since drawing things smaller takes more time for me and I'm not so precise. If i had a .3mm lead i probably could do it. Also i also said that most of my tanks looked cramped regardless of whether there's people for measuring, one being the

.

I already talked about the tandem armor piercing rod + HE shells (which didn't work out) and so yeah, i have to create a new line of tanks so they look more "correct".

I was thinking about using the shape of the IS-8 hull (only the shape), size it up to a modern battle tank's hull, armor it like a modern battle tank, and then cast an original turret on top along with a short barreled 130mm. Then it could fire missiles like how an IT-1 would, except "modern" lol.

my point exactly, too cramped. it was supposed to be some industrial tractor but i made it a light tank :l

If i could guess, it'd be somewhere in the back, dangerously close to the people in the turret section of the tank...

Ah here, this is the tank that i want to create. now obviously it's just a statement, but i want to see if it could work.

The hull of an IS-8 tank (but modernized in armor, engine, chassis (tank made to fit 5 road wheels), etc. and then top it off with a modern tank turret. I think it could work, but do you? because I'm expecting some "it can't work, or it won't be good on the modern battlefield", etc from you guys.

Not unless it was a diesel electric powerplant. And those take up lots of space and weight, because it's essentially a full sized engine and a generator. But, depending on the arrangement, you can dispense with a gearbox.
