First lineart thing. Not sure how good it is for a first attempt, but hey

2/10 More effort next time. That is my honest review, it looks like you simply made some lines, used the paint bucket, and called it a day. If you are serious I have a few suggestions.
1. The outline should be a pixel wide, just use the line tool on whatever program you are using set to a single pixel.
2. Save as a .png for the love of God. jpegs are the shittiest format for images.
3. Use a scale, should vary depending on what you are making, eg. a pixel for every 0.5 metres for a ship or a pixel per milimetre for a rifle or pistole, or a pixel per centimetre for a tank or something. Whatever the scale is be consistent, taking some liberties for aesthetic reasons (eg. make the guns on your ship 1 or 2 pixels wide even if it would portray them as 500mm to 1 metre diameter guns so that someone looking at it can see where the guns are). Don't measure your hull in 1 centimeter per pixel and do your gun in 1.5 centimeters per pixel.

Edit: Also don''t trust Anemos, things don't get better, they slowly get worse until you give up and shoot yourself like I did.

Are futuretanks still acceptable?

only if they look plausibly futuristic

these look like they were built in the 70s

Gallan MBT-70, produced until Heat Death of the Universe.

First lineart thing. Not sure how good it is for a first attempt, but hey

The tracks want to extend almost the length of the hull. The front sloping is kind of comically severe and you might want a raised rear hull to allow a group of commanders and equipment operators to sit at stations and command in a compartment at the rear.

Also, good God, .png format.
You learn very quickly that .jpg is an atrocious file format for drawings.

Finished the production variant of the MA11 APC.




I'll be doing different applique schemes for a number of the variants (at the very least, I'll do it in 'light', 'medium' and 'heavy' - because it doesn't make sense for an APC to be carrying an IFV's ERA array, and for an IFV to be carrying the light tank's complex composites).

The APC's pretty non-descript, I suppose. It carries a 20mm autocannon RWS for pumping out smart-fuzed HEDP at things.

[Rich and Corporations]

Hmm.

45mm CTA autocannon w/ rate of fire of 250 rounds per minute, to achieve munition commonality with IFVs and AA vehicles. Eh?

Anemos: part of the reason why no one attempts chassis commonality across a wide weight range is because something like 20% of a tracked vehicle's weight is from the suspension and drivetrain.

I hate to say it but it looks very GI:joe/cobra

[NeoTarakia]

Does anyone have any info on the Jordanian AB9B1 Patton? It has a 120mm smoothbore and I'm curious about the ammunition setup.

guys holy shit

guys holy shit

I need to go get a new pair of pants

guys holy shit

Brix were shat

Thats pretty impressive. I know Nexter is the largest French defense firms, how large is KMW for the Germans relatively? It looks like its rather large by the amount of equipment they manufacture. Least the French will still keep naming their stuff AMX, that has to be the coolest designation for military vehicles.

[Imperializt Russia]

IIRC KMW is the primary contractor for building the Leopard 2.

guys holy shit

And lo, we edge closer to the European Federation.

As far as ground defence is concerned, between Krauss-Maffei and Wegmann they're pretty much in control of everything heavy ground-vehicle wise in Germany. Which is why this is so exciting - Nexter make a lot of things, but a partnership and possible merger with KMW can only mean exciting ground vehicles in the near future.

And the French haven't been calling their stuff AMX for a while - tank design competence shifted from AMX and associated 'ateliers' to GIAT quite a long time ago.

I thought wikipedia said that AMX was the designation for vehicles of the land produced by GIAT? Of course GIAT is now Nexter but the page for AMX had just said that "Armored Vehicles produced by GIAT Industries of France (from Atelier de Construction d'Issy-Les-Moulineaux)" under their non-vehicle section of what AMX meant for companies.

Thats a pity. I like that designation. It sounds really clean and efficient.

Would there be any point in an oscillating turret for something as small as a 40mm?

oscillating turrets are lame no mater what gun they mount...

AMX was subsumed into GIAT, they continued using the designation internally for a short while, but it was dropped (by the 80s, it's not as though development work was conducted solely at one workshop anyway). Hence the Leclerc being the Char Leclerc, and not the 'AMX 56' or whatever people keep calling it.

I don't know, I'm a fan of French acronyms for AFVs, so it's not that great a loss. VAB, VBCI, VBL...

AMX just happened to be my personal favorite. The rest are good, but AMX sounded the best.

You were of saying concerning the autoloaders?

Oscillating turrets are the best. It is a pity they didn't arrive in numbers before concerns over nuclear fallout meant they couldn't be used anymore. If only France had made it through long enough to put the AM 40P in the field. Armor equivalent to that of a B1 bis heavy tank on an armored car and with a 37mm gun in 1940 anyone?. Without the NBC protection concerns... Although of course having 2 crew would be a noticeable step backwards. Stupid germans messing up Europe and letting the Soviets in.

[Padnak]

I guess I just don't have any love for oscillating turrets, personal preference and all

Hemispherical turrets are where its at

[Consortium of Manchukuo]

The Yrdentsyr A46 Rev. III is also clearly not safe for work due to causing intense arousal in those who look upon it.

If only my nation had money during the era so I could try to figure out some way to buy it.

Sadly not.

guys holy shit

Europanzer 3.0 right?

[Padnak]

guys holy shit

Europanzer 3.0 right?

Why do I feel like this whole thing is going to fail horribly

you know like every other MBT collaboration project

hope it doesn't tho-

This looks incredibly nice. I recall seeing this without colours a while ago.

When I saw this, I shat bricks.

It's not an MBT collaboration project, and both companies have their own contracts to fulfill until around 2020.

At a guess, it's more an eye towards 'lighter' (read: shit with wheels) collaboration projects in the near future, and a sort of exploratory step towards a possible future merger (to compete with companies like General Dynamics, who've been on a spending spree recently, buying up big names like MOWAG, or Steyr-Daimler-Puch of Pandur fame).

[Nirvash Type TheEND]

Some updates. Tyres are still shite though.
