still need to add suspension arms, a drive wheel, skirts, hatches and all that stuff

any glaring flaws apparent with the turret/hull as they are?


Do unmanned turret need cheeks like that? I would have thought they would shape an unmanned turret according to the layout of the internals, with no extra room

It's that old MBT you had ages ago. Can't remember the name but IIRC it had white stripes.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

White stripes is the Valkyrie 12/4, which this isn't.

Looks ok but I feel like it might need more than just the one sensor thingy. Unless that's an APS and you haven't added sensor thingies yet, in which case carry on.

Clearly what is needed is some sort of bulletproof pigeon. Or maybe one that flies so fast that it can't be hit. The answer is clear. Steroids.

So far I'm already liking the sense of scale much better than the original, plus of course it looks much more like a modern tank and less like a weird WW2/80s hybrid.
