Your Nation's Main Battle Tank (No Mechs) [Part 1]

[Sigurdsland]

Most families in Sigurdsland give praise to Christ if they own one old tractor, which they use to plow fields, haul things, and sometimes make trips into town, so...

[Reavani]

The Panzer Dragon tank. We only have one though.



We also have the standard issue Tigerum Destroyer.



Who here thinks they can win a fight against my army?

My army:
500,000 Members of the Imperial Army
50,000 Members of the Blackguard (Special Ops)
200,000 Members of the Teutonic Order (Elite Military Division)
150,000 Members of the Imperial Watch
3,000,000 Military-trained citizens

Well any half way reansoably trained army would simply sit back and laugh as you destroy your own nations infrastructure trying to move it to the front, its not as though you can move it by train or tank transporter.

As for protection 2000lb AP bombs would do a fair number on it as would your common or garden anti shipping missile. At that size getting enough armour to keep out even 105mm APFSDS fire will be difficult ( rule one of tank armour design, the bigger the tank, the bigger the surface area, the less armour comparatively speaking you cna have) so 120mm APFSDS would be a threat never mind the various exotic tanks guns that exist in NS.

As for the rest of your forces, its probably kindest to say you simply wouldn't have a snowballs chance in hell taking on even low level NS powers let alone any of the multi billion behmoths.

Do I qualify as a Medium or Low-level?

[The Great Lord Tiger]

Low.

If you have to ask...

[Reavani]

Low.

If you have to ask...

D_: I thought you loved me!
You know, as much as two completely different people who's first interaction just happened, could.

No, there's that dead Resource War thread, remember?

Resource war? I had no part in such a thread, I'm currently involved in a war against Falkasia, Cerberii, the Turks, and another nation who I've completely forgotten at this point, oh and that person who was going to help me, before deciding I had "The Advantage" and joining up with the other side.

[The Great Lord Tiger]

Ah, I must be thinking of someone else.

My bad.

[Reavani]

Ah, I must be thinking of someone else.

My bad.

Indeed you are.
Now, continuing on with the armored mayhemical whismical nonsense!

I would like you to know, that top tank design is official property of Altergo and that you cancel any further designs on the tank or else.

Nazi Germany implores you to stop stealing their ideas.

That is an artist's impression, my countries tank has more cannons and is slightly larger than the painting, plus the fact that diffrent camo would be put on the Armored assault tank.

I honestly can't tell if you are doing one long satire, or you are serious.

[Lizardiar]

As well, this is not a weapon of convenience. It is a weapon of terror. Your soldiers would wet themselves and run back to they're homes the second they saw this behemoth.

Or they could just drop bombs and move out of it's way as it burns hundreds of gallons of fuel going maybe 6 or 7 mph.

I'm SURE your Democratic Socialist army would be willing to fight something of that size.

Of course!

Our government is socialist. That doesn't mean all the people are. I would just move them to the side, give them grappling lines, the board, kill everyone, then take the 'Ratte' tank for myself.

So about...six inches or so?

[DiscountSatania]

The Tarkinist Star Wars Empire of FreeSatania has many high-tech weapons but our armed forces rely primarily on this AT-AT Imperial Walker:



It's heavy armour means it's invulnerable to most high powered energy weapons, it's armed with two powerful laser cannons and blasters. It's primary function is as an armoured troop transport.

However because it's heavy, slow, difficult to deploy and not suited to close quarters combat the empire also uses a significant number of these. AT-ST All Terrain Scout Transport.



The AT-ST is built for speed and is easily deployed. It's offensive capabilities match the powerful AT-AT with twin "chin" mounted laser cannons and side mounted missile launchers. The AT-ST's transport capabilities a limited primarily by the lack of a lower hatch and therefore it is usually not used in that role, however it is capable of carrying 6 commandos + 1 pilot and 1 co pilot.

The empire also has a significant number of AT-TE. While obsolete and being slowly phased out of service the AT-TE is a proven vehicle. The empire is currently tendering bids for a vehicle to replace the AT-TE and as well as tendering bids for a Mark II refit of the AT-TE. The AT-TE is a six-legged heavy armoured attach vehicle with the unique ability to penetrate ground based energy shields. It's armed with laser cannons and a powerful projectile cannon.



In addition the the above weaponry the empire also retains all the obsolete weaponry which was designed for use by the old republic. Included is the AT-PT a simple armoured one man vehicle armed with twin blasters. In addition to the AT-PT there are a number of other vehicles based on the AT-PT chassis. The empire is currently investigating re-purposing these vehicles and is tendering bids for a refit kit for the AT-PT chassis.

[Altergo]

About 5 feet wider and 8 feet taller

[Allied Governments]

About 5 feet wider and 8 feet taller

Sounds like you are under the delusion that bigger=better.

[L3 Communications]

About 5 feet wider and 8 feet taller

So a little bit bigger than M1 Abrams?

[Allied Governments]

About 5 feet wider and 8 feet taller

He's saying the Ratte he owns is bigger then the picture, with more guns.

Also, I believe that Abrams are wider then 5 feet.

<.< Maybe I should have said "taller", since thats what I meant.

[Allied Governments]

<.< Maybe I should have said "taller", since thats what I meant.

M1A2 Abrams are actually exactly 8 feet tall, so it's "As tall as."

Dammit, now I feel like an asshole.

[Kusatsu]

Isn't height bad for tanks? I remember reading that the Sherman tank used by the Allied forces in WWII was so tall that you could see it coming over a hill or dune before it could see you or even shoot you.

Yes, while having a tank too short is bad as well.

[The Imperian Court]

While the Imperian Court doesn't employ tanks due to the terrain of the homeland (a healthy blend of mountains, hills, pine forests, and snowy plains) our extensive road infrastructure does allow us to field mobile artillary pieces. Imagine a tank with an artillary piece for a turret and... Oh, just paint this gunmetal gray:

FLUFFY! WE'RE ON A BLAZE OF GLORY RUN! READY THE FRONTLINE BASSILISKS!
