A reinforced Infantry/Tank platoon. I kind of like the idea of a tank in an infantry unit to serve as a form of short range artillery and fight other armored vehicles should they accidentally bump in to them. Then the tank itself is boosted by the presence of infantry, who can go around and flank tanks, particularly with anti-rockets and weapons, like javelines, or a tow missile launcher mounted on the vehicle or AGM-114. So instead of 2-3 Bradley's per tank, it's a full infantry platoon of Namer APC's per tank. You could also have cannons on the APC, like 30mm or 40mm.

So, all of my frontline infantry divisions would have tanks attached to the platoon, serving as either anti-tank divisions when needed or anti-infantry. The squad is a 10 man squad, broke in to 3 fireteams of 3, with a marksmen attached for 10 men total. Each fireteam has 2 grenadiers and a machine gunner. 3 Squads make a platoon of 30 men, without any support units, relying on the 7.62mm machine guns they use instead of a larger machine gun like an M240 bravo, and the vehicles for .50 caliber machine guns and 40mm automatic grenade launchers. Then there's one support namer APC in the platoon, which both acts as refueling an rearming for the other vehicles, particularly the tank, and also has medics in it as well as stretchers. The namer in particular is designed to serve as a medical vehicle in all forms, with one stretcher even in ordinary vehicles. This kind of integrated medical support gives nearly instantaneous medical treatment which dramatically increases survival rates, although it requires a lot of medical training for a lot of people. The one unmanned support vehicle also has anti-tank missiles on it as well, which vary depending on type. I'm partial to the javeline and AGM-114, but the AGM-114 requires an integrated radar system and isn't really a stand-alone weapon. You can also use only lightly guided missiles to have it serve as rocket artillery. Typically also it has a mortar.

The support vehicle is an unmanned vehicle controlled by a member of the 6 man namer support team. This vehicle can resupply and refuel the other vehicles as well, as well as carries around a mortar and some heavy weapons like a machine gun, but is predominately designed as a support vehicle for the other one's. Being unmanned, it's thin armor is far less of a problem when refueling other vehicles. As 50% of losses in Iraq and Afghanistan were fuel convoys, and another 20% were water convoys, having these units be unmanned and somewhat armored reduces the death toll of the entire unit dramatically and allows it to operate 24/7 at the constant beck and call of the unit. Due to the size of the namer and it's power, it can be either an IFV or an APC, so it doubles in that role allowing it to attack the enemy. Not shown in the picture is the 40mm cannon or anti-tank missiles. This particular rifle squad also has no support units, as the average machine gunner is already using a 7.62mm negev and tavor. In the LSAT variant the round is caseless, giving it half the weight, and it's a 6.5mm instead which is more accurate and has a longer range. As well the namer APC and tank serve as weapon carriers, such as for a .50 caliber machine gun or 40mm grenade launcher.

After a discusion last weekend where I realized I never made a Lol-NS hyper mega battleship I ended up making a thing. Been tinkering with it on and off all week but I'm currently at a stand still for what to do with it next.

Displacement: Absurd
Crew: 20,000

Armament
1376 x VLS Cells (172 8 cell blocks)
168 x Large VLS Cells (42 4 cell Blocks)
72x Small ICBM
62 x Large ICBM
32 x Not-SLAM
160 x AShM in 40 4 missile box launchers
80 SHRD (CIWS Missile)in 10 x 8 missile Launchers
35 x CIWS
30 x 8 inch guns in single turrets
30 x 76mmm cannons in single turrets

I cant even find out how to join the website or get started lol

Another one from the same era!

1) What do you mean "join the website"?
2) Just open MS paint (or your drawing program of choice) and start drawing. Some people start by kit bashing or tracing but you can also just pick a scale and go from scratch.

[Corindia]

they're being flown by ghost pilots with ghost propellors I guess

I miss drawing tanks ;-; been out of it for almost 2 years now. Those were the last 2 I made, I guess.

You took franscale tools for a non-franscale tank.

At least take the proper size shovels.

Haven't really done much over the past year or so, as I have been distracted by browsing YouTube and DevianArt (and doing my pencil drawings), but here's something I churned out a couple months ago. It's a group of Confederate infantry in the summer of 1914, distinguished by their grey, French-style coats and their slanted kepis.

I never really paid attention to scales that are available and used what was around, just resized it to my likings.

[Lunar Union]

I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. It'll probably turn to be one of the largest ships in my setting by a fair margin; there aren't many other types of ship that would benefit from such a massive size.

[The Corparation]

Damn now I feel the need to go and work on my FT setting stuff more. This wouldn't be a problem except for the fact I'm stuck on what the aesthetic of the filthy xeno ships should be. I've gone through a couple of different styles for them and I wasn't happy with any of them.

Have you ever seen a shovel?

[Corindia]

continuing my recent theme

[Fryske Ryk]

Surely the roundel should be on the wingtips and vertical stabilizer?



the more time passes the more i think the amx-10rc/amx-10p hybrid gun thing needs to die in a fire

the half-track is still great though because it makes people Upset

[Corindia]

it's a littttle janky looking, but as long as I don't look too close it's fine.
It's a little too small on the wing too, but I'm having trouble transforming it in such a way that doesn't just ruin it and look even worse bigger

[Omarios]

Have you ever seen a shovel?

Maybe just maybe it's a mini-weird-shovel? But then again, I said that I have been out of the game for almost 2 years now. Had anybody told me that when I actually made the tank then I might have fixed it, no use now.

Overly complex for a young platoon leader, bump up our combined arms to the company level

Ahh, well the tank itself is embedded within the platoon for support purposes, but the tanks are themselves commanded in the combined arms approach at the company level. Your average platoon has a tank in it but they're largely autonomous or used as short range artillery in infantry operations, while in an actual attack on enemy armored vehicles in a combined arms approach, they work like a tank platoon with a lot of extra infantry. So sort of instead of two bradley's per tank like in an American unit, they have an entire infantry platoon supporting the tank with 4 APC's instead. So tanks are in the support role basically as artillery for infantry operations, and then infantry are in the support role for armored operations and so on. Also there's usually one extra tank per company, that often is the company leader, with the tank doubling as a command vehicle. So a command tank to bring the total number of tanks up to four, making a full 4-tank, tank platoon.

Essentially the tanks can be commanded as a group to attack an enemy formation, which involves deploying the entire company, or the infantry can be commanded to attack a unit and they break down in to platoon level operations. It provides a degree of tactical flexibility. One way to think of it is like the tank operates like a medic or marksmen, sort of doing their own thing while the rest of the platoon operates, until there is a specific armored vehicle threat present.

Those aren't Namers and your idea is bad.
