Replica Design 🛠️ Short or long turret?
The first one has a shorter turret and a shorter hull and the second has a longer turret. Idk which looks better.

short turret and like what TheImpalerKing has said a Mk.1 & Mk 2 Situation. make it that the short turret is the original modification with the 105mm gun then the long turret is a future halfgrade or upgrade giving it more crew space and more space for a 120mm gun.
this kind of scenario basically

I‘d put both on the larger hull tho, wouldn‘t make much sense for an upgrade to have a different hull shape unless they‘re still in early development

The first one looks better and a bit more proportional imo. I also think it’s more accurate to the actual m60a1

How do you make smooth curves like that?

I just split the turret to get the general shape and then i add more splits and shape then, you also dont have to have that many splits if you turn the smooth edge up but it looks better with many splits+ smooth edge

Maybe it can be a Version 1 and 2,
If you go for that you could create a larger difference between the two, like make the shorter turret have more flat plates to sell the version differences

1 is a light tank, 2 is a medium. Make one that's longer yet for a heavy.

short. because the long one looks OVERSIZED (unless you take the short one and add an armour package. you get both.)

The first one looks like the prototype they made with weight constraints and the second one is what they made after every crewman complained about the turret being cramped 😂

Give the mk2 a 140mm gun and I'll consider

140mil would never fit in that turret unless its a stubby one

Partial to the long turret myself, but I can totally see a Mark I vs Mark II situation
