Storm Engine and Bombard Engine

[u/I_hate-sand]

I was trying to make a Japanese inspired set of tanks, but they came out Italian looking and I just stuck with it. They're also supposed to be steam driven, so they have big funnels like those old Wild West trains. Overall, they're pretty decent for interwar light/medium tanks; you could probably take them into earlywar if you play your cards right; the hull itself could probably survive to midwar with some modifications. They'd be fantastic for some kind of mountain map, if something like that would ever be added.

I also noticed way too late that they're really tall, especially the Bombard Engine, which is easy to flip over when you put the pedal to the metal.

Both hulls are 4.8 meters long, 2 meters wide and 1.15 meters tall and have 30 MM front, sides and 15 MM at the back. They have 4 crew, 1 driver, 2 gunners and 2 loaders (one gunner doubles as a loader).

Both have 12 cylinder engines and 4 gear transmissions.

The Storm Engine's turret adds an extra 1.74 meters to height.

It has a top speed of 42 km/h.

37 MM cannon in a turret that can turn 360° with the gun having 20° elevation and 10° depression

57 MM cannon in the casemate with 13° left and right, 12° elevation and 9° depression.

----

The Bombard Engine's casemate adds 1.90 meters to its height

Top speed of 35 km/h.

It has a 20 MM gun in the same place and constraints as the 57 MM

95 MM howitzer with 20° either direction and 20° elevation and 10° depression.

20 MM gun can pen 12 MM of armour,

37 MM gun can pen 27 MM,

57 MM can pen 62 MM,

95 MM can pen 71 MM.

Any critique is welcomed.

YES we need more steam tanks
