CYOE IV: Poll Now Open

IMO its better to have various different vehicles that use lots of unified parts

For example, lets say you have an 8x8 heavy truck and a 6x6 medium truck, both use lots of similar components making repair and production easier.

Or another example, you have a tracked aa vehicle, it uses the same power pack as your tracked APC-

R-85 baby! Yeah!

Modularity is king.

Oh wait I'm not supposed to be posting art, I forgot I'm terrible.

Oh wait I'm not supposed to be posting art, I forgot I'm terrible.

I don't understand the logic behind posting something and then griping about how horrible it is. If you don't want to post art, don't post art.

I figered as much, seeing as that dead horses body is riddled with welts.

Modular vehicles... Makes good sense and saves money. Mix and match for the mission at hand.

That word 'modular' - I don't not think it means what you think it means.

(Prem's comment was a reference to this memorable statement.)

See, this is the sort of thing I was getting at with my whole "modularity is bad" rant.

Designing a new-build turret for a heavily modified IFV chassis is good.
Copypasting your MBT's turret on top of an un-modified IFV chassis is bad.
Designing a vehicle so that you can swap out Turret A for Turret B while preparing for a battle is just plain ridiculous.

[Huda]

Say, this is coolio looking. Can anyone make something like the CFA-44 Nosferatu?

Snazzy.
Love the pith helmet design.

Exactly how heavy is this thing?

I would imagine it would weigh in roughly the same with current "diplomatic" cars these days.

7,500lbs with a Diesel 7L (427ci) Turbocharged Inline-6 Cylinder Engine (similar to ones used in 14-ton School Buses).

EDIT: Paddy O Fernature... always picking the best time to come around... nice comeback

EDIT #2: I'm using a more powerful engine to obtain higher speeds and get better gas mileage, I should probably quote the weight around 8,000lbs.

That SAM is quite nifty - what's the sensor suite on the telescoping mast? Is it an optronics array?

Still working on the MGS P:

Both of you're designs are really well done. Just saying.

Added the male police uniform.

Added the male police uniform.

As much as I like this.. something about the two people on the far left make me smile. Not sure if it's the Fro, or the girl who looks like Velma in a polo.

Probably, going to add more random people, like a Country Country runner with a headband, a Women's Basketball player, and just some other stuff.

Celritannia and I talked about combining American and International Football and Rugby together to create one sports spectacle. Say each play starts out like American football, then someone has to either throw the ball or kick the ball (round but small enough to be carried) to a teammate, from there the teammate can either run with it to try and score by running into the endzone, kick or pass it to another teammate or try to kick in into the goal.

Basically the Endzone would have a Goal in the middle that is guarded by a dedicated Keeper who can either leave his post to Tackle someone trying to run it into the endzone, or he can stay and prevent goals being kicked. So basically any part of your body can touch the Football (hands or feet)... and there would be 11 + 1 players for each team on the field at each time. I figured it would be best to make obviously cleats, but helmets (to protect from head, neck and spinal injury) and shin guard should be standard uniform, team can choose between shorts or tights, and gloves are optional.

The system is originally based off the Future Local Area Air Defence System (FLAADS) which is/may replace the Rapier with the VLS version of the Common Anti-Air Modular Missile (CAMM). The mast is actually a 'common data link' :
"...The Common Data Link (CDL) is the small ‘black box’ that sits on top of the mast, especially clear in pictures of FLAADS(L) although it doesn’t necessarily have to use the two way data link to the launch vehicle, so, it could take mid-course corrections from any number of suitably equipped land or air platforms and then switch to active homing when it gets close enough. The original launch platform could have even moved by the time the missile hits."
So whilst the vehicle itself doesn't have a radar the system can accommodate any 2D or 3D surveillance sensor systems for targeting.

I really like that command vehicle.

Dunno why, but it reminds me of Calvinball.

It also seems to have some elements of Gallic football, although that is mainly a combination of Football Association and Rugby Union.
Rugby League and Gridiron Football have similarities, with limited tackles, pitch layout and a few others.

Now I have a mortar carrier variant of my tracked IFV


Next up will possibly be a self propelled howitzer variant with an Archer inspired turret.

Like all franscale veterans, I'm a massive racist, but even I find those big white eyes and teeth a little offensive. Easily the second-most racist franscale.

Good thing he's literally on my logo for Avante Automotive so he and the woman are effectively representing my company. He reminds me a little of myself, except I'm a little lighter and I have my sizes and rear cut, and my fro part isn't as tall as his, otherwise he's basically me...
