P.01a-50m Light Tank

41.4k MrVaultech  4.6 years ago

[I've discovered an issue with the suspension and gun elevation/depression slider! I made a mistake with the Trim controls on the track and didn't set them to 0, meaning that moving the slider up and down to elevate/depress the gun also will move the suspension up, and only up]

Ostpreußen Heer P.001a-50m
One of the first fully tracked armored combat vehicles of the Ostpreußen Reich designed and built 1936-37. Designs are borrowed from a number of existing tanks, such as the British Vickers 6 Ton, the Russian derivative T-26, and German Panzer III.

Turret
The turret is capable of supporting a two man crew, surrounded entirely by 45mm of Rolled Homogeneous Armor. The main armorment of the turret is the Rh-50 (M.1929) 50mm cannon, as well as the German export MG34 7.62 caliber machine gun for the coaxial weapon.
The two crewmen, the gunner and Commander/loader have access to their respective hatches on the roof, with the commander having optics as part of his cupola. The gunner has access to a cannon optic with a 5x zoom and relatively basic rangefinding markings inked into the optic.
Lastly, the turret itself is driven by an electric drive, allowing faster speeds and greater gunlaying time compared to handcranked turret traverse.

Hull
The P.01a-50m has a relatively protected frontal hull for it's time; 45mm of RHA protecting the driver and radio operator as well as 30mm of RHA with a 50° slope up to the crew compartment. The armor is expected to protect against anti-tank rifles and small caliber anti-tank cannons at range, while also keeping the tank relatively light and mobile.
The side armor doesn't have near as much armor, roughly 20mm of RHA with no sloping, while rear is just 10mm of unsloped RHA.
Due to it's [Likely going to stay undefined/unnamed] 200 hp engine, the P.01a-50m is capapble of a 58kmh (36mph) on roads, and 40kmh (25mph) on dirt and softer surfaces like light mud and sand.
Additionally, the driver has an escape hatch above him if the tank was disabled or to catch fire, while the radio operator has a hatch in the floor to escape with.

Versatility
The P.01a-50m, thanks to it's modified Rh-50 (M.1929) is capable of engaging lightly armored tanks with it's APHE shell while also still being able to support infantry with HE. Alongside it's high speeds and relatively good frontal armor, it's able to flank slower and more armored tanks and attack from unexpected angles, while also being able to move ahead of infantry and attack hardened positions.
Not to mention every P.01a-50m is putfitted with a 2 Way radio, meaning every tank is capapble of communicating with it's commanding tank, the HQ for new commands, or with each other to notify allies of hostile AT positions or of other tanks.

    You can download it, and when it tells you that it has mod parts, click the undo button.
    It won't have tracks, but the rest of the tank will be there.
