Your Nation's Main Battle Tank (No Mechs) [Part 1]

[Ramsetia]

I give to you my ladies and gentlemen the newest technological marvel in Imerian armoured warfare

how does I HESH

With a rifled gun... o wait, you all got rid of them

I didn't! 149mm ETC-fired HESH! Gogo-...Okay, I'll wait for you to get in position *sighs, checks her watch* Stupid slow heavy tanks

Honestly, with your new WW1 bent, I expected something more matilda-like, at least in bodywork, if not turret and weapons...but this is pretty sweet, too.

Heavy? that is a medium tank my good madam!
But the Matilda is a tank from the second war if my memory do not serve my correctly and I am not particular found of that design.

The Matilda II was actually a good tank for the time (1940), just slow.

[Ramsetia]

Actually, the 'heavy' tank I was referring to was the Stalker, with it's 149mm rifled ETC cannon.

And I never said the design you ended up with was bad, just not what I expected. It's actually pretty coo.

I have no problem with Matilda II I just think that Matilda I looks ugly like sin.

Ahh your tanks... well that is another story, would probably need to finish my own heavy tanks for that.

And I never said the design you ended up with was bad, just not what I expected. It's actually pretty cool.

Aww thank you.

[North_Chernarus]

The T-72BM "Rogatka" is our primary tank



A number of T-80UD have been upgraded under the same program, and feature the same systems along with a new welded turret.

[Bajireyn]

That's not that powerful at all.

its more powerful than you think it also has said little bit of nuke in there

. . . Right ... I'll give you the benefit of the doubt because you're new and whatnot but please please please please let go of the great-big-explosions idea...Please?

it could be a fuel-air/theremobaric projectile...

[Satirius]

^still needs to be p. large, like out-of-the-domain-of-tank-guns large.

Also Imeriata, while the tank in of itself is a good lineart, I'd still introduce some sloping here and there to vary it up a little.

Sloping is for communists and cowards who are afraid to stand up to the enemy.

As long has he has more than 220mm RHAe in armour than he is safe.

Question: I've heard the M60 Patton had 155mm of RHA as it's base armour. Would the Panzerfaust 150 be a credible threat to an M60?

Slow, but effective.

WANT ONE. NOW!

EDIT: It'd probably be really terrible. Certainly it's too big for urban warfare.

Waits for ground to give way underneath it. Calls in a corps of artillery. Advances through wreckage.

tbqh in MT it would've been blasted before it left the factory by some twat in a fighter's Paveways.

So I assume you have what, like 2 of them? Those things ARE powerful(I think), but extremely expensive and unwieldy. I mean, a few anti-tank mines could take it out. Or even a more manueverable tank that DOESN'T have a stationary cannon.

[Imeriata]

Also Imeriata, while the tank in of itself is a good lineart, I'd still introduce some sloping here and there to vary it up a little.

Well I can't really do that as I am not good enough with paint to have slopping angles while the tank still looks good and/or metallic.

not really but that problem would be solved easily by the waves of infantry it backs up.

That is a super heavy tank not a main battle tank

Right, so were are my F-35Cs...dealing with more important problems? No, let them do that, I think I have something that can remedy this situation, hold on...now where did I put those A-10s...oh, they are attacking a tank column? Alright, that is a tad more important...Aha, I still have some Tomahawks!

*Launches Tomahawk at P.1500*
and...
*It 'sploded*
...problem solved.

Not this again.
1)Not a tank
2)Sitting duck for any aircraft
3)Slow
4)An infantry squad could easily take it down
5)If I see this again I'm not even going to acknowledge it.

[Solar Estainia]

Could be used as a tank, an infantry squad cannot 'take it out' because it's manned by a ****ing brigade; any tracked vehicle period is vulnerable to aircraft and the mere size of the thing it could mount entire SAM batteries. Slow is irrelevant, intimidation facture is enough; personally I could be in a damn castle constructed out of super-alloys and I'd abandon the battlements at the mere sight of the thing.

As to FT-Estainia's tank, I haven't decided whether I'm using Anti-Grav or tracks yet.

1) Yes, an infantry squad could take it out.

2) If it requires a full brigade to function, then losing one must be catastrophic.

3) This is more vulnerable to aircraft, and it's no good at mounting a SAM battery if it can't move.

4) Ground pressure > This piece of shit.

5) Then your military is not disciplined enough and your nation should be a pushover if mere intimidation causes you to run.
