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

[United States of PA]

You use a rifled cannon?

So does the civilized world

And by that I mean Zimbabwe

And England with their Challenger 2 and the L30A1.


Which is actually the gun the M8s is based off of.

[Rusikstan]

What's funny is that one of my prototype tanks the Atrox bares a quite interesting resemblance to the M8 Li Toneur Medium Tank, at least to me it does. (not saying anything is going on, only that its funny that I think they are similar)

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.

OI, just remembered. I have an article that I've taken a lot (literally like taken stuff) from about how to reduce barrel wear. Its from '04 so its not that old and should be a good starting point.

The M412 Hellhammer. It sports a 130mm cannon, a pintle mounted M2 Browning, a coaxial 7.62mm M47 LMG, as well as a hull-mounted LMG of the same model.

That is a very tall tank, really only good for desert warfare

its narrow so at longer ranges the enemy tank has a chance of missing. Good since the M60 has armor less then 200mm RHA and really needs ERA. On the plus side, it has a better thermal imaging sight then the Abrams.

Come on, why can't we get along united under the principle of logic, reason, freedom, and pwnage?

Unlike most settings, on NS, a picture is usually not worth a thousand words. What you're describing would be called "pic spam," and would succeed only in annoying everybody.

Besides which, Lyras rocks.

Balova is now using a mixed fleet of obsolete M103 heavy tanks, and M1A1 Abrams MBTs.

should someone post picture of roantank worksheet?

it makes my head asplode

If it's a fight you want, then seek it elsewhere. Good day.

No really, I was simply stating the fact that you do not understand what I was talking about, or have the background knowledge of me needed to know that I could in fact put nothing in the post except the name of the tank, thirty pictures, and a pricetag and still have it be non-picspam.

for a second the red and green fooled me to thinking i need 3d glasses to look at it

The GAAF utilizes surviving M1A2 Abrams tanks wherever possible, supplemented by the aging M60 and M551 tanks that remained in storage in National Guard depots and emergency materiel depots.

[Deltania X]

i will make my tank it will take a while but it will pay of

[Purpelia]

Same for me.
I am currently working on a tank in the draftroom that I intend to be comparable or better than L.
My primary argument is that I do not have missiles and their fuel on the outside of my armor to explode when the tank is hit.

And by that I mean Zimbabwe

And England with their Challenger 2 and the L30A1.


Which is actually the gun the M8s is based off of.

this has got me thinking about tanks for my nations, i dont no what to get i like the lethality you can get from smoothbore but the range and accuracy of rifled is certainly something i would like.

what do you think is better NS?

Rifled. But I say that cos I believe that the Chally 2 is best tank EVAR, and all others are shit.

but the new one will be smoothbore

i am thinking have best of both worlds.

meaning that my Main battle tank will use Smoothbored whilst a my medium tanks will be rifled. so that means my Armoured divisons will have MBT, Med tanks, HIVF's and IVFs.

[Esternial]

The Rangers are mainly used for heavy assault. They operate best in open terrains.

The Partisan is pretty good on every terrain, but pack less of a punch than the Ranger

Medium tanks and MBTs fulfill a very similar role doctrine wise, and using both a medium tank and MBT would likely be redundant and piss off logistics officers. You could probably go extended range full bore, which offers the advantages of rifling and smoothbore.
