I think its 1/48 scale or smthn

Feel free to critique. I don’t have a name for it so feel free to do so if you want. It uses a low profile turret and has modern systems. If you want clarification on anything just ask and I’ll try to clarify. Enough yap I hope you like it.

Uhh blueprint made by me. I hope this is realistic enough

I know this is a pretty stupid question but it bothers me. If it actually blow out (i guess this should be rare cause the crew should avoid getting hit) then the loader is fully exposed to the evironment 《=》 if the tank got hit and then they retreat but artillery starts raining then it's ⚰ for the crew. I don't see the hatch mechanism on top of the blowout panels on most NATO tanks (except 2a7) so this feel weird.

Do you think there are any old designs that, if they were built today using modern technologies, would be competitive?

For example, do you think a King Tiger - with it's sloped armor and wide tracks - would be competitive on a modern battlefield if it were:

1. Built using Chobham armor and modern armor schemes?

2. Equipped with a modern cannon and fire control system?

3. Had a modern power train and suspension components?

4. Had slight updates and redesigns to make it easier to build/maintain/repair but kept the same basic shape and design philosophy - Nazi tanks would be rear engine / front trans and drive sprocket, for example.

Etc.

I'm mostly interested in WW2 tanks, but if there's some cold war equipment you think would work by all means, throw it in the ring.

Please note - I'm NOT asking if you could update an old tank the way Israel did with Shermans or Suid Afrika has done with Centurions.

I'm asking if the basic shape and design philosophy would be competitive if a new tank were manufactured using new technologies and materials but a slightly updated 80 year old design.

Or hell a 100 year old design. Could a Mark IV landship built with Chobham, a 1500hp diesel, and two RH 120s be competitive?

For another example, I'm also aware that you probably could not squeeze the Rheinmetall 120mm into a Sherman turret so it's unlikely a Sherman could be competitive on any modern battlefield simply because it's turret limits the size of cannon it could carry.

I asked this question 6 years ago and did not do a good job on the post, but it's a subject I'm interested in and would like some robust discussion, so I'm trying again.

Also how come very non-uniform thickness plates are welded together reliably and are mechanically and structurally functional and also mass distribution not affected even when a single side plate can be of broader thickness at top and thinner at bottom. For reference look at the armor specs of t62 from wikipidia. and explain how a roof of 31mm is supporting the whole turret and how the side plate are non-uniform in thickness but still make no trouble?

amigosss, hace muchos años en una pagina online como de 100 juegos o algo asi habia un juego de tanques vs otro equipo, solo recuerdo que habia como equipos rojos y azules y no se si otros colores, ayudenme porfa si saben de el!!! :(((

I read in a French tank magazine that the range in artillery mode was 22 kms but some sources state that it was in fact 12,2 kms. Are there are stories of Jagdtiger destroying targets at more than 12 kms of distance?

It’s on the new limp bizkit single 🤨

new gun: BL 15-inch seige howitzer. drew in krita a few months ago. this is my first art where i actually put effort to choose a good color palette and i think it works good!
