Military Ground Vehicles of Your Nation [NO MECHS] Mk.V

[Connori Pilgrims]

Did it for the speed of light. Got less perforation.
Also did it for warp 9.9999999 converted to km/s, and only got like 1500mm perforation.
I dunno, I think I broke it for tonight.

Wait

So a rod going at only 0.05c penetrates better than a rod going at 1c...and a rod going at superrelavistic speeds only penetrates on the scale of a 14 or 15 cm ETC?

Calculator its not good to be drunk when NS is playing around, get your facts straight

I suspect he be joking.

Besides, the calculator doesn't even take relativistic physics into account. If you're hurling a round at lightspeed, don't worry about perforation, the target would most likely be vaporized because that shot will be carrying many many megatons of TNT in KE

I hope Anemos is online to make MGVOYN 6.

I hope Anemos is online to make MGVOYN 6.

I'd like to think everyone has enough respect for him to not cockblock him...and that ya'll wont die if he doesn't make it right away.

[Questers]

No dude, I am literally going to die if i don't have anywhere to post about autoloaders.

You have less than 25 posts to post about autoloaders

dat carousel

[Questers]

one of the more impressive, and early, autoloader designs.

[Questers]

Might design a tank that uses a meggitt system since those dimensions are useful for lineart

[Questers]

any moer info on RALS greatly appreciated.

[Questers]

cannot verify legitimacy of this picture but it is Leopard 2A5 with Meggitt.

T-14 rocks the Meggitt system. Was pretty much the only one that would fit, due to the design of the hull. Not enough vertical room for a carousel, that's for sure.

[Questers]

Since Chinese never captured T-72, we can only assume that Soviets sold the technology to them.

[Questers]

It's nice picture of T-72 autoloader, although I couldn't get it in higher res.

[Questers]

:galla:

[Questers]

it's interesting that Leclerc, K2 and Type 10 didn't use any meggitt type system and simply just used the type of chain and guide rammer found on the MBT 70. I wonder why. Space?

[Orussia]

Cost and complexity, perhaps?

[Questers]

I am really sceptical as to whether you could fit 3 people side by side though.

[Questers]

Cost and complexity, perhaps?

These tanks are known for their high cost and complexity, though. Also Meggitt is not necessarily that complex.

[Questers]

The S-tank had a really neat autoloader taht appears to share many features with the MBT-70s. It was known for high rate of fire (tho it was 105mm piece.) You can see some of the mechanism here.

[Anemos Major]

I hope Anemos is online to make MGVOYN 6.

Through wind and water, fire and earth, Questers.



The Type 90's autoloader, as previously noted, is a fairly average chain-type system - it doesn't utilise the Meggitt system because of space, but not in the sense that you'd expect. Rather, the Meggitt system is designed to address the Abrams' dimensional shortfalls in the realm of installing an autoloader, something these built-for-purpose tanks didn't have to contend with; as such, they don't really need a system that'll pull these rounds backwards out of the bustle and flip them around before loading them into the gun. Similar issues arose when they were considering autoloaders for the Leopard 2, and a number of KWS II proposals considered a similar rotational system coupled with a bustle autoloader.

I'm leaving soon, however, so I'll have to put this thread under wraps (if I can.)



One of the genuinely earlier autoloader designs. Not too impressive, mind.

[Vitaphone Racing]

Just quickly get to 500

I'll probably be warned for spamming though
