  • Really, how long has it been? It's been a long time! and here's the finished tank at last.

  • I won't go into detail as to why it took me so long (creative crisis and trying to do something as original as possible) - Let's get down to the tank.

  • This tank is the main battle tank of the Third Reich - (Neumayerland) as of 1995, and as a companion, this tank... is so heavy from birth, not from its grandmother, as the weight of this tank is 70.2 tons.

  • The main features of this tank are a separate armoured crew compartment at the rear of the hull which enables the crew to actually survive in the vast majority of cases, also a feature is the large angles of inclination of the gun (-8° and +15°) and from this comes the ability for this tank to fire its 12.8cm gun at air targets with radar blast shells, thereby enabling the tank to defend against enemy attack aircraft or helicopter gunships. And another feature common to tanks with an unmanned turret is the cameras. Lots of cameras. Cameras enough to have a full 360° view, why are they protruding and not recessed into the hull? Well, to replace them easily in case of breakage and not to complicate the design unnecessarily!

  • Why don't you see an active protection system?
    well... it's just hidden in the turret. There are mortars of the complex of active defence in two round holes, and electrodynamic protection is also a weighty defence, which besides the usual property of dynamic defence has a possibility to shoot firstly a plate, which should destroy or seriously damage the threat (for example - a shell, or an ATGM).

  • Well more details (no) will be in the main post! it will be on Saturday, at 18:00 Moscow time, or 11:00 New York time
