Could I ask why one of your IFVs is armed only with an ATGM launcher? "Infantry fighting vehicle" usually means it's supposed to fight infantry.

Everyone drives a tank! *flop*

What is with NS and the obsession with semi useless slow and non amphibious, non transportable, non mobile tank-IFV's?

They do in Dragomere.

Him? He's that bad?

[Ea90]

A Yanintovian production Fergana. The main armament is a 150mm L/42 smoothbore cannon and the coaxial and RWS are Model 50s.

hes just better than u

Check the last few pages of Military Realism 3.

He trains all his infantry how to be artillery gunners and operate all positions of a tank.

"Just in case."

Random question time. How would a newer used (was put into storage immediately after production and only now unpacked) BT-5 fare as a motorcar for civilians in the 1950's? The idea being that the army wanted to get rid of them all and just dumped them for a token price on the civilian market as motor cars after disarming them.

Not well.

They may be bloody fast, but remember they weighed over ten tons (more than a double-decker bus today) and would have been relatively unwieldy to operate for cars of the 30s and 40s, let alone the designs that the fifties would come to offer and lead into the sixties with.

Well done. I thought you'd drop the autoloader system though, it's very specifically tailored to my needs - a Meggittesque system may be better.

So bad handling and presumably a sucky mileage. What if I remove the turrets to save on weight? I can do that easily enough and there are always uses for spare turrets.

I don't think you'll save much more than a couple of tonnes and it won't exact help on the handling.

A military 400hp engine will be a bitch to live with compared to a regular auto engine of the period.
Noise concerns was probably the last design consideration if at all present, especially being Russian.

What if instead of cars I sold them as agricultural tractors?

[Samozaryadnyastan]

Yes.
They might be a tad weighty, but it shouldn't be an undue problem.

Make sure you're selling them for less than tractors.

[Bhelyant]

What is with NS and the obsession with semi useless slow and non amphibious, non transportable, non mobile tank-IFV's?

Perhaps some people want to prioritize armament and protection to better optimize an infantry fighting vehicle for fighting? Or perhaps it's the general trend for IFVs IRL, and it's amplified by the tendency people on NS have to making things more *everything?*

not that I've ever thought about a T-55 with an S-60...

[Ea90]

Well done. I thought you'd drop the autoloader system though, it's very specifically tailored to my needs - a Meggittesque system may be better.

I've had some ideas of my own about auto loaders for a while. I think I'll try putting them into practise now.

[Noders]

hover tank PMT Yes no? I'm talking about with high speed fans.

In which case why not just use a helicopter gunship? You're not going to gain any advantage with this vehicle. It won't be able to hide as well as a tank due to the fact that it's flying, and it won't have the speed of a helicopter due to the weight of the armour. Not to mention, it'll burn through fuel at a ludicrous rate trying to constantly stay in the air. The rotor blades will also be extremely vulnerable to attack. If your idea is to build a helicopter with firepower and protection of a tank, you'll be better off just building a tank. If your idea is a tank with the speed and manuverability of a helicopter, just build a helicopter.

Better to just pick one and stick with it.

you totally misunderstood where I was heading to. I was looking to use the chassis for amphibious ATGM platforms and AA platforms things with almost no weight next to a tank.

tip when using RL vehicles don't just slap a new name on them and monkey around with the stats people here well swarm over you for things like that just use the real names. Your list to my eyes looks way to long but that's just me.

I don't think it's bad it's just ... eh, unremarkable. No reason why I or anyone else should comment on it.

I believe he's referring to the Garuda.
