AL-1/90 "Lynx"

29.0k Supermini555  7.3 years ago

In 1957, Mokhtar designed an autoloader tank, under the codename: "Lynx". The prototype tank features a 90mm RFQD (Rapid-Fire, Quad Drum) Autoloader, capable of dishing out 4 shells per clip. The shells consists of exclusively APDS shells, capable of penetrating through 179mm of RHA, firing shells every 1.96s, then reloads at a rate of 8s to replenish the shells. This is due to the fact the tank has 4 drums containing 9 shells each. As this is an autoloader, the tank is forced to act as an ambush scout, using it's quick firing autoloader to decimate foes, while using it's immens agility to retreat from any danger it faces. Since the tank has an oscilating turret, it will make hulldown tactics extremely effective with it's -10° of gun depression. Unfortunately, it's gun elevation is only 10°, severely limiting it's ability to fire at enemies, which are on a higher ground. But due to Tanah Melayu's terrain, the tank is capable of tackling the terrain there. Other Country Conditions Not Tested

    True, however the reload's gotta be pretty long for 10 shells.
    We want to balance reload time on the tank. The tank itself holds 36 shells, 9 in each drum. Wait, I should've put the reload to 8s since it takes shells from each drum @Pilotmario

    Four rounds in an autoloader is pretty minimal.

    The AMX-13 can hold 12 shots with the 75mm gun. I think the 90mm version had 10 shots, and the 105mm had 8, but correct me if I am wrong.

    Its autoloader has two drums, with half the autoloader's capacity in each drum.

    The drum doesn't have nearly that capacity in WoT because of game balance.

    Machines with automatic loaders are more than capable of serving as frontline vehicles. The main battle tank of the Paternian Army is the M6A4 UPS AUTO Ardent. It's got a rack-and-elevator autoloader system for a 120mm gun with a 16 shot capacity, with 32 reserve shells available. The Ardent, with its combination of mobility, firepower, and armor, is unmatched.

    Could be, but it's more on the AMX-13 @AdrianFlyingAce
