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

[Korva]

That tank has like no ground clearance

The construction I've used as a base (Vickers-E, T-26 and Polish 7-TP) had approximately 360 mm of clearance, now I see that it's completely invisible on the pic, probably will have to make it visible. Thanks!

No problemo, I'm pretty bad with keeping things to scale so I often have to continuously revise things I've drawn :/

Reworked, although on the "vanilla" version, will swap appropriate superstructures and will be dandy. Well, first attempt at linearting a tank couldn't have been flawless, I guess

[Purpelia]

You might want to include some sort of bump stop to prevent those arms from bending too far out and breaking everything.

There was this Panzer IV...

Hydrostatic drives are rather inefficient. At the pressures needed for use in AFV transmissions (very high) they are also extremely loud. Compared to conventional transmissions they are bulky and expensive.

[Rich and Corporations]

Now, that GCV is dead and gone, what's a suitable Bradley replacement?

Now that the GCV program is dead, where do you plan on getting a Bradley replacement?

Diesels are pretty loud and smokey as well.

AMPV is not a replacement for the Bradley :/

[Rich and Corporations]

AMPV is not a replacement for the Bradley :/

Just because it isn't meant to be a replacement won't mean that it will be.

[Gallia-]

That's a logical fallacy.

The assumption should be: Just because it exists as an Army program, doesn't mean it will ever exist in any meaningful tangible form, much less ever be adopted.

M2 Bradley, M113, and M1 Abrams will be used until 2060 by US Army no doubt then we will have NWO and no more need for national armies.

We already have no need for national air forces, everyone just borrows the US's now.

What's the cheapest tank to build on earth?

Gimme a few million of those and I'll dominate the earth with Rush tactics.

The USAF still exists?

USAF couldn't bomb its way out of a paper bag.

Wat is dis. U drunk. Go home.
Anyway, I've been trying to draw an upgrade to one of my tanks, and a thought came to me, would sloped armor even matter much anymore?

For ERA, yes. For conventional passive armor, no.

[Rich and Corporations]

Sloped armor also reduces usable internal volume considerably. Which is why the Tiger and the Abrams do not use sloped armor.

[Gallia-]

Abrams makes extensive use of sloping, obviously.

[Bohemia Minor]

Abrams makes extensive use of sloping, obviously.

Making it sooooo easy to penetrate.

Therefore, the more sloped your armour, the flatter the projectile actually hits a tank.

Most modern Western tanks are pretty close to immune to HEAT missiles on the frontal turret arc, regardless of sloping.
