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

[Satirius]

only works in mortar carriers even then(actually it would work quite well in a SPM of reasonable caliber), howitzers are just too damn space intensive unless you had no intention of storing ammo in the SPA

A main battle tank? What the Devil is a main battle tank?

It's that thing on the horizon...'sploding your troops

It's the thing using your troops for tread grease.

What is this? It would look great if you took of one of the guns.

It's Russian.

That's all that needs to be said.

You both are obviously suffering from some kind of affliction of the senses where you hallucinate about fantasmagorical military machines.

A "tank" is a land vehicle that is self-propelled, usually by some sort of internal combustion engine, or possibly even steam power. It has a track running around the wheels, which allow it to spread ground pressure out over a large area. It has multiple weapons, including one or more cannon, machine guns, grenade projectors, and the like. The crew, usually consisting of a minimum of three or four, or in extreme cases as much as eleven or twelve members, is protected from enemy fire by thick armor, and use periscopes and telescopes to observe the battlefield and aim at targets.

It generally utilizes its armor to engage in relatively close combat with impunity, slaying infantry with automatic weaponry and enemy tanks, vehicles, and fortifications with cannon.

Rhydin currently employs the LY4A1 Wolfhound MBT as it's main battle tank of it's military forces. There are others but no where as numerous as this vehicle type.

To be fair, the intent of that gun is for the Russian military. Which, in terms of doctrine, still keeps with massive artillery fire before attacks. That gun is intended for rapid fire-on-target, without much serious aim, and always supported by a huge logistics chain. Vimy Ridge type stuff really. It And it's only intended to be a small fraction of Russian Army guns. More the idea of bringing all guns into one caliber, rather then having 3-4 different calibers at the division level.

<_< Maybe he knows what a tank is, maybe he's just going off the whole 18th/19th Century thing that his nation is and the tank doesn't exist yet? O'and, they really aren't all that great at fortification bashing, bring artillery for that. ;D

[Inutoland]

After scaling the picture, I agree. For it to plausibly be a 180mm gun, I would add two or three pixels to the diameter of the gun barrel and thermal sleeve. Also, with such a large gun you are unlikely to fit much ammo, especially since you have no turret bustle capable of storing said rounds. What role do you envision this vehicle having?

Personally I'd use it for a tank destroyer.

That's about what I'd envisioned as far as role goes. Does having an ETC gun negate the capacity to use GLATGMs, at all? I don't actually know.

As far as the gun goes, I'll correct the picture and upload a new version. It looked about right to me, but I didn't actually scale it.

Maybe I was attempting to explain it to an 18th,19th level person, hence the use of "telescope" in a context other than astronomy.

Edit: and the reference to them possibly being able to use steam power, olol.

No, it does not.

If you're going to use GLATGMs, 180mm is really excessive, though.

Fixed the barrel.


Yeah, I know it's kinda overkill for GLATGMs, but I don't envision it being exclusively GLATGM-based. And besides, the ability to lob a 180mm shell at ETC energies ought to take care of most NS wanktanks.

if your going to do that do it right at least PLEASE!

A top-attack also works. A single LAHAT missile can easily penetrate an MCA-7E.

He could also probably use HE to shake the tank around and F-up the electronics, with a decent chance of killing the crew members.
