INFO:

Yesterday, Me, EternalDarkness, HellFireKoder, and Squirrel were talking a bit about railguns, and how they might have the potential of being mounted on ships, and possibly mobilised in convoys specialized to carry them. I kinda went obsessed with the idea of kinetically charged railguns being mounted on many different vehicles. But, there was one ideal vehicle that would look cool, and plausible (realistically speaking) that I was thinking of. It was, of course, a tank. This is actually my second attempt at building a tank so sorry if I went overboard with the inlet outlining and detailing. The tank has a crew of four, one commander, one driver, and two gun operators. The gun is auto-loading, launching projectiles several times the speed of sound. The gun is too big to fit the gunners inside the turret, so they all had to sit inside the hull of the tank. The aiming system is controlled via camera inside the tank’s turret.

    @GermanWarMachine If I'm right, the hull should be about 5 feet tall, that's the space for sitting down, but yeah, It is quite cramped, and not completely up to scale.

    @GermanWarMachine Nah, the whole crew is in the hull, the turret is controlled remotely.

    @Mostly no problem. It's funny how my "railgun has too much recoil to be on a ship" lead to it getting on top of a tank XD
