    @MadBomber I meant making the side skirts looking like that of the newer Olifants.

    @PINK I could I guess but kind've going for economy of force. I've got alot I'd like to get too. SPA, IFV, etc... so not sure I'll be diving back into this atm as getting it old school would pretty much require a new hull.

    @MadBomber Alright, I didn't mean throw out the hull, just make it look more old school.

    @PINK I wanted to use this hull going forward so didn't totally redo it as I did the other. Having said that I think it works OK especially as the tank gets updates.

    @MadBomber Turret is nice, but hull looks too modern.

    @Pilotmario Cool. I'm gonna try come up with specs for this at some point. Good gun, cumbersome but effective range finder, Active IR and 2-axis Stab, good 1st hit probability at about 50% which is excllent for time. Decent armor. roughly what I'm thinking.

    @Pilotmario Thanks. I wanted to build a western style tank and had this in the stable half done so figured time to finish it. I would like to see how it fares against the M6A4 as well.
