Military Ground Vehicles of Your Nation [NO MECHS] Tranche 7

[New Vihenia]

Movie version is better.

Yeah..slightly mature.

Maybe i should add..Improved hairstyle.

[The Soodean Imperium]

Unbelievable... the Ground Vehicles Thread gets to Page 152 and no top-page imgs?
Such a disgrace.

[Sahrani South]

Would it be reasonable to equip my army with M-4 Shermans in MT, for reserve and training? What about other leftover WW II materiel, like pershings etc. ?

If you're training your soldiers to use Leopards you should use, well, Leopards. They won't have to readjust to the new vehicle. Also, I'm pretty sure the German tanks works in a different manner then American ones

What about storing some Shermans and Pershings for last-ditch defense?

[Allanea]

There are countries that do this.

[Vancon]

There are countries that do this.

Isn't it Argentina or something that still uses Shermans?

[Imperializt Russia]

Couldn't you create a nuclear powered air ship by venting the reactor heat into a specially designed envelope?

The reactor alone weighs about 80t.

The critical issue with nuclear aircraft is that they have a poor power-to-weight ratio, because reactors are ungodly heavy.

You don't need modern equipment to fight modern armies

Having outdated T-72s sure went well for some countries out there. Yep.

A country that never intended to fight America losing to America?
Oh my stars!

K1 is the Abrams aesthetic done right.

Ewwww.


Beep Beep I'm a tank!

You used to be cool, man.

All glory to the ISU-152-2

Argentina is advanced enough to make their own tanks.

Chile uses Shermans and Chaffees, or did until a few years ago.

[Vetok]

I'm thinking of integrating LeClerc, Leopard, Challenger, and Abrahms tank components and add a few of my own designs on it like drone dipensers, javelin & stinger missiles and some metal storm mortars while adding at least 4 machine guns and maintaining a good manueverable size. Shell size is 150mm fired through a triangular barrel railgun.

I can't help but think you've been reading about Ogres, Bolos, Baneblades and SheVa's and thought 'hey why don't I make one of those in MT?'

[Allanea]

Israel used Shermans as late as the 1980s.

[Saphirasia]

What would be a really good AFV for a Central Asian country?

Well, the Type 59 has several upgrades available for it that allow it to maintain an edge against modern tanks.
They're mostly made by Ukraine, but they make an otherwise obsolete tank useful again.

ISU-152 Mod.1945 or get out.

Looks like shit.
ISU-152-2 is sexy like turnip and badass to boot.

Mod.1945 is made of 0% shit and 100% GLORIOUS SOVIET POWER.
Seriously, it's an all-around better vehicle on the IS-3 chassis. How is that shit?

[Padnak]

I should probably clarify that I don't hate the Abrams because its American, I just hate its overall appearance-

Of all the shit reasons, this one's the shittest.[/quote]

Because god forbid I don't like how something looks

Bloody tumblr feminists

[Sediczja]

Any real problems with the Saxon APC I should know about in a 1980s timeframe? Considering drawing up a version to fill the role of wheeled APC.

It's... wheeled... Seriously, tracks are better overall, since wheels have vastly higher ground pressures than tracks, and thus are more prone to getting stuck.

Just roll with the M113 or something. Modernized, of course.

[Questers]

Wheeled transports are good in some circumstances. The Saxon was made to drive light infantry from GB to Germany via the French road network. It would be faster and less logistically demanding than FV432.

Except tracked vehicles are slower and harder to maintain. Besides, I explicitly said it'd fill the role of wheeled APC, which implies I'm not looking for "a better tracked vehicle". I already have a tracked IFV.

yh, but it does look a teeny bit 'eh' tho.

Best looking tanku is Type 10.

Eh whatever, roll with it then. Not like I'm an expert on wheeled IFVs, or anything. I mean, I'm not.

Question to the thread: What do you use to transport your vehicles within your borders?

Yukonastan is known for a massive and well-developed railway network, and military planners haven't forgotten this. Materiél is mostly transported by rail, and for some excercises even is operated on rail.

Because most of Padnak lacks developed roads, armoured vehicles move under their own power, however over long distances they are usually carried by trailers pulled behind MAZ-537s or other similar heavy 8x8 vehicles
