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

On drawing.

I'd certainly appreciate it, however, I use a program that is only available on my Chromebook, called Sumopaint.

Yes, I would have self propelled guns (SPG's) too, to make up for the shortcomings of the Rockets. Should I have regular artillery or Self Propelled guns? Because I will definitely have one battalion of Rockets, as well as either towed or self propelled guns.

You should have both, actually. SPGs can emplace and displace faster, but towed artillery can be quickly deployed by helicopter to locations that may be inaccessible (or not easily accessible) by road, as well as air-dropped to support airborne operations.

Britain's a good example - heavy degrees of mechanisation, but also using towed lighter weapons to support commando operations.

Well I was thinking of using the BMD based SPG's for airborne troops, which I'm pretty sure are air-dropable.
Edit: 2S25 Sprut-SD, and the 2S9 Nona were what I was thinking of.

This is tanksharp. It allows you to numerically design a tank.

It's very handy. Does all the calculations for you.

This is cool.

More importantly it confirms I got my weight estimate right on the nose!

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting, so I might ask some really ignorant questions. First, how effective are armor cages at stopping HEAT? Second, are there designs that are more effective you could recommend to me? Third, would it be feasible/reasonable to have an IFV/recon vehicle with two axles and eight wheels for better traction, or use wider tires? Fourth, are rounded turrets more effective for bouncing shots or are angled
turrets?

What cage armour is actually intended to do is either physically damage a HEAT warhead before it detonates, or force it to detonate outside its optimal "standoff distance" - the HEAT round generates a "jet" of material, and it needs to detonate a certain distance from the target to properly form. Too close and it won't correctly form, too far and it may lose energy and coherence.

Are there designs that are better than others?

The ASTER 30 is lot bigger than I thought, assuming i have got the dimensions right.

Also WIP truck

Can someone please answer my questions?

Many recon vehicles have 6 wheels but the middle two are unpowered and can be lowered for cross country travel.

Modern tanks don't really "bounce" projectiles but composite armor works better with flat surfaces.

What the hell is propellant length and overall length? It already lists case length and propellant length is around 3 meters for the default gun making me wonder what the hell it means since it isn't the length of the case or the entire catridge.

This is amazing art.

Couldn't you use molded ceramics, or is there something I am misunderstanding?

Cage armor is all basically the same. It works very well for stopping lightweight shoulder fired rockets. Kind of useless against everything else. For that purpose it is basically as good as it gets, alternatives are all much heavier/more expensive or both.

The question boils down to: What kind of weapons do you want to stop?

Korva impresses me

he really does

[Allanea]

Korva is awesome.

This is great lineart.

Korva is awesome.

This is great lineart.

Most of that was drawn by the guy I credited. I merely recolored and modified the chassis before drawing the Moskit tubes.

shhhhhhh

its ok



we love you

I just didn't want to give the wrong impression.

stardestroyer is a forum of trolls. I wouldn't really take their stuff too seriously.

Still more than I can do.

I have done, I think, exactly two linearts in my time in NS.

A drawing of a knife, and a drawing of a slightly-modified MPL-50 shovel.

I don't know, what kind of weapons would I face on NS?
