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.

iteration the second

a bit iffy on the hull shape honestly

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.

Unfortunately for your fan club membership, I'm not Sumer, and this is the BLV-12 Sera.

Amerfrager's main battle tank is called the AM-1, it is essentially a rebranded type-99 MBT clone created by private contractor Pritary Arms INC

Yes, but you can still shoot down a pigeon.

Signal flags are where it's at.

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.

I really cba to do tracks today
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.

It's better this way. I got to read a fun text about a cute hawk.

tanken go vroom

same spec as the original, visual update only apart from switching the 12.7 and 7.62 MGs which should really have been done on the original too:
Main gun: Achura A17-125 125mm
Coaxial: Chen-Xi Kido 7.62mm MG
Commander's gun: Chen-Xi Ikido 12.7mm MG
Powerplant: Soqung Industrial Visala IV 1650shp

How effective a APCBC type round if manufactured in modern day calibre (90mm,105mm, and 120mm )?

i dont have the book on my desk but R. Simpkin talks about a sort of "rule of thumb" for full bore AP rounds' maximum penetration into armour in Antitank

i will find it later if kyiv doesnt snipe me first

R. Simpkin says a "yardstick" of "detonation after one caliber of penetration" for Soviet APHE presumably BR-412 or something
