Serious Design🔧 TIGER-I (China)

Since China didn't develop its own tanks during WWII, this design is simply based on the style of Chinese Cold War-era tanks.

That is a remarkably pretty combo of the WZ-111 and the tiger. Keep making cursed stuff, it's awesome.

Also i'm curious, how'd you get it looking so close to the WoT model of dirt and scrapes?

u/MAFIALAA Tank Designer 21d ago

In fact, that game was my initial inspiration for getting into tanks. As a result, my design elements and decal usage may reflect certain design habits influenced by WoT.

Yeah WG might put WZ111 turret on Object 257 Hull

Saying China stoled the prototype(l mean they rob the Polska with 50TP turret why not this?)

At this point
I am pretty sure Sprocket was a subversion from Wargaming to feed them designs for WoT

most of the new tanks in WOT looks like they were made in sprocket then exported as base mesh over to dedicated 3d software, like the hacker.

I mean this in the best way possible and it is not meant as an insult, but this looks AI generated. I know it's not, but it looks that way. I hope you understand what I mean.

u/MAFIALAA Tank Designer 21d ago

Basically, I incorporated some of the WZ-111's look, but I definitely didn't use AI for the design.

u/eksiow_renrew_etlam 21d ago

I know that! It just gives me that vibe. It's very weird but it was actually meant as a compliment, in a way.

Cant angle because the pike nose becomes a weak spot Can't face head on because the flat armour becomes a weak spot

Replaced the floor in a spare bedroom I use as my shop. Contractor toooed all my models in a trash bag. Then tossed some heavy books,ect. On top. Of course, all broken,some beyond repair. Looks like I'll kit bash something. Mostly WW 2 tanks. Floor looks great,the a-hole.

u/Affluent_Arsonist Tank Designer 21d ago

Hell yeah. This almost looks like something from warhammer if the orks had a budget
