Puz did you know that by using composite armour, I could have a bulletproof burgonet? How cool is that :V

Mx. Husseinarti, would you kindly refrain from complimenting Mx. Laritaia's work in a vulgar argot inappropriate to the formality and decorum expected in "Creating Your Own Everything VI?" The importance of our endeavor here demands a certain level of dignity.

AH-IV tankette bought by the Confederate Socialist States of America in 1938. Known by it's ČKD company designation as AH-IV-Am and by in the Confederate Army as the M1938 Light Tank. Originally intended as a light tank to support infantry formations, changing definitions of what was appropriate to the ever increasingly mechanized battlefield of the coming war, the tank was modified with a quality radio set inspired by Swedish and German designs and used as a cavalry recon vehicle. With a speed over 50 km/h, a small silhouette and other quality features allowed the vehicle to perform well at its task.

Each government armored division had at least a company of 23 vehicles, while armored regiments employed by the state guards had a platoon of 5 as dictated by a series of standardization acts imposed by the government.

In all, the CSSA Army had roughly 300 of these M1938 Light Tanks in 5 armored divisions and 20 armored regiments.

Now for the bad tankette:

In the late 1920s the Korongolese Army chose to expand its armoured capability which was, at the time, limited to a small number of FT-17s and a handful of Mark Vs. It called upon automotive industry of New Korongo to produce a new light and heavy designs. The response was ‘patriotic’. Almost every car, truck, and tractor manufacturer submitted a new design, or a design improvised from an existing vehicle. The Tirima, manufactured by UKA, is a typical example of a light design. It was cramped, noisy, and uncomfortable for the two crew members to operate. There was no radio and the armour was only capable of resisting rifle fire.It was armed with a single machine gun mounted in a turret which, due to the location of the driver and the engine, could not be rotated to the right or rear of the vehicle. The weapon’s mount made reloading an awkward proposition. Surprisingly, it was mechanically reliable. Under normal circumstances, poor designs like the Tirima would have been rejected. The Great Depression and a government effort to avert the collapse of the Korongolese automotive industry forced the Korongolese Army to purchase many of the designs offered in varying numbers. The Tirima was one of the most numerous. Many were still serving training roles when the Second World War broke out and were pressed into active service again. The results did not vindicate the design.

When you say awkward, depending on what particular machine gun it is and if it has a top cover used for loading, I don't think it would be possible to load at all. Unless there's a spring loaded hatch above the gun that is pushed open by the top cover or something, I dunno.

Otherwise it looks great.

[Husseinarti]

If its a maxim style, then it doesn't have a hatch or anything. Just feed the belt into the MG, and pull the lever to chamber a round.

[Fordorsia]

Hatch for a top cover would be cool tho

So im trying to improve the leopard turret and i think i made it worse by making it bigger but please say what i could improve. Im thinking of a fully automated turret to lessen the required crew

Making the turret unmanned is only going to reduce the crew by one, as the tank will still require a gunner and a commander.

An M1938A2 'Chambliss' Medium Tank of the Confederate Socialist States Army.

In the years before 1938, the Confederate Army's tank arsenal numbered a little over 160 vehicles, made up of 30 Renault FTs, 83 Vickers 6-Tons, and 47 LT vz. 35 tanks. By mid-1938, the CSSA had finished testing and had purchased a production example in mild-steel from ČKD for its own licensed production, as it had found the cost of production Czechoslovakia to be much more costly than domestic production. With experience from production other foreign designs, along with assistance from ČKD, the first production tanks produced by the CSSA would roll out by 1939, even with ČKD pulling out much of its support due to the war with Germany in later 1938.

The first production batch of 51 if these new M1938A1 'Chambliss' Medium Tanks were a shock to the United States, who had just begun production of their own M2 Medium Tanks the same year. The M1938A1 was armed with the Škoda A11 47mm main gun, which could penetrate the 32mm of armor found on the M2 over distances of 500 meters, while the US's own 37mm gun would have issues penetrating the 32mm of armor the M1938 had.

The M1938A2 model came around in late 1939 with the return of Czechoslovak engineers. Following the German defeat, their army found itself with a surplus of not only domestic tanks, but also of captured German tanks, of which one single Panzer III was sold to the CSSA, as a way of compensation for the removal of engineers, which stalled the CSSA contract slightly. The Panzer III was studied in depth by engineers from the new Fayetteville Army Arsenal, which was now producing tanks for the army and on contract from state governments.

The concept of the Panzer III's three man turret was seen as highly effective compared to even the four man design the M1938A1 used and a new turret was designed. The removal of ammunition for the main gun and the machine gun was seen as an acceptable draw back to the addition of another crewman into the turret. With the possibility of a new US tank, armed with a larger gun it was seen necessary to up armor the M1938A1 from the 32mm of armor to 50mm of armor, roughly two inches. The improved design was named the M1938A2.

The improved M1938A2, along with stocks of tanks from Czechoslovakia including older LT vz. 34s, and second-hand LT vz. 35s gave the CSSA a serious advantage over the US until the US adopted its later designs in the 1940s.

Yes but its better to lessen the crew to decrease the casualties.

Making the turret unmanned is only going to reduce the crew by one, as the tank will still require a gunner and a commander.

Yes but its better to lessen the crew to decrease the casualties.

The main advantage of a 3-man crew (gunner, commander, driver) is that it allows a smaller tank, allowing you to retain the same armor protection for a lower weight. You also save a bit on crew wages and field kitchens but it's a tiny fraction of the supplies a tank battalion will need.

The main advantage of an unmanned turret is that it can be built with a lower profile, or left unarmored like Armata, allowing you to maximize armor on the areas where the crew are (and thus reduce casualties more efficiently).

In your case, you appear to have built a larger and heavier unmanned turret on the same size chassis. Which solves none of this. To be honest what you've drawn looks more like a new-turret upgrade or major armor package. Which is fine, it's what a lot of Leo2 operators have done. It's just not the same as an unmanned turret.
