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

[Rusikstan]

Just to get a bit of conversation going, the test tank for the US 140mm gun was recently seen on a train in ohio... Some connection with the M1A3 program, maybe?

Here's an older picture of the thing:

Saw that awhile ago around the time when we were talking about M1A3 and CATTB earlier. Thought its was old news...should have looked at the date. I got some still frames from that video at the time, but didn't think to bring it up....

I don't know what it is, but those pictures give a nice look at it instead of like pausing the video and the problems with that etc etc.

@Purpelia: Never went farther than potential upgrades to the LY4A2 and LY7. Thats all i have on it on hand.


@ASE: There is probably something out there on it, but i got the idea from Sumer and Lamoni in a IRC chat nearly a year ago.

Oh well. Also, what should I make my composite armour out of for my medium tank (p. much a 70 ton MBT)? Should I use Tungsten Disulfide, Boron Carbide, Silicon Carbide, or something else?

[Licana]

I would say either Tungsten Disulfide or Titanium Diboride, but that's coming from my limited knowledge and research on the subject.

SiC (Silicon Carbide), Titanium Diboride (TiB2) and layers of Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al or Ti-6Al-4V and DU Mesh.

I dont know wat to use i am opend for segsestions

T-95A if you can find it, if not im sure a Lynx or something from Lyran Arms would do

[Deltania X]

why lyran arms?

[New Korongo]

or any other company

[Licana]

why lyran arms?

Because they are the best tanks being currently sold (I think I remember that Sumer saying his storefront is closed)

[The Anglo-Saxon Empire]

There's some other good ones, Crook is good, USPA may have a store front, I think Rusikistan will let you use his stuff.

I wasn't sure about Rusikistan, and I'm not sure I've seen any of Crook's tanks, and I've only seen USPA's storefront for aircraft.

[Rusikstan]

Yeah but you kind of have to ask for the "good" stuff since I'm unsure if its on the front. Trying to rewrite the front in its entirety as it is (b/c I hate the old one) into something completely different and new.

Crook's tanks are pretty nice same with USPA/Penn. Lyras' overwhelming detail is what kills most. Lamoni just came out with a new tank, iirc, and his and lyras' stuff is comparable on the amount of detail and ability. I'm currently lingering around the idea of an upgrade to the Tver with new armor scheme detail (as of now it has a lot of talk but not much is actually there), new gun w/ new tech. I'm proud of one thing though...my APS IS FIGHT

[Licana]

Oh derp, how could I have forgotten about Lamoni! Going to have to hunt down his storefront to remember what he's selling.

[The Anglo-Saxon Empire]

I could never find Lamoni's store front. I search several times, but to no avail.

[New Korongo]

I think there is something wrong with the Forum search, it never seems to work properly

[Rusikstan]

Don't everybody search at once. I don't think Lamoni has a front which is why is runs Lyran Arms in Lyras' absence. I could be wrong...

Here, however, is Lamoni's latest tank the M-21A2 Valkyrie. I

I lack a ground warfare storefront, though i have plans for a eventual one under the name of Pennsylvanian Tactical Warfare Ground Sales Division. Yes, thats a mouthful, i know.

I wasn't sure about Rusikistan, and I'm not sure I've seen any of Crook's tanks, and I've only seen USPA's storefront for aircraft.

Thats because i only have storefronts for Aircraft and Ships.

This is infact the only ground warfare related equipment i have posted on GE&T lulz. My M8 Li Toneur Medium Tank.

Im flattered by the complement.

Thats because they share just about everything!!!! (Though, technically i could use any of Lyras's stuff (Guns, electronics etc.) i wanted too, but i choose not to for IC Liability reasons and Tactical and Strategic Differences in Thought Process).

Oh derp, how could I have forgotten about Lamoni! Going to have to hunt down his storefront to remember what he's selling.

Lamoni does not have a storefront on NS, instead he sells everything on the NSD International Mall. I dont think he has ever felt the need to move it to NS.

Though, to possibly get everyones mouth watering, Lamoni and i have a Light Tank in early design work.

The camo makes it look like the tank is coated in Zimmerit, i wonder if that stuff still works

[United States of PA]

Thats due to the picture i used to camo it. Wasnt exactly of the highest quality (JPEG!!!).

[Licana]

You use a rifled cannon?

[United States of PA]

Yes.

My Armed Forces strategy is to engage at as much range as possible. A Rifled gun can reliably hit targets as much as a kilometer farther down range than a smoothbore gun with the same FCS.

I use Full Bore Rifling/Extended Range Full Bore (Use whichever you like, i refer to it as ERFB), which in laymans terms, adds fins to the shell which expands when the round is firing, creating a seamless environment within the bore, much like a smoothbore. You wont be able to get as high of a MV as a contemporary sized smooth bore, but i get around this by using rather large and dense propellant charges. Albeit this leads to a incredibly reduced barrel life, and why i recently asked about which composites make the best barrel wear reducers, since Chromium Lined no longer does the job.

So does the civilized world

And by that I mean Zimbabwe
