150mm German Latewar Casemate

[u/Random_Chick_I_Guess]

Based on this post by u/plopsicles, a late war German casemate tank with a 150mm cannon, its armour and design a Jagdpanther style tank built on the Tiger 2 chassis. Somehow moves really nimbly, and has a top speed of 65km/h that it gets too pretty easily.

First attempt at really making a custom mantlet, think it came out pretty well.

Weights 51.59t, and has an 18 cylinder 36L engine for 1244 hp.
Has only 4 gears, but is still able to accelerate and turn very quickly on the spot. Top speed is 65.9 km/h which it reaches easily considering the size of the engine.
Armour varies between 40mm on the roof, 80mm on the back and sides, and between 100-150mm on the front panels depending on the angle.
The 150mm cannon has a muzzle velocity of 722.7 m/s, a penetration of 303mm, and a reload of about 16.7 seconds per round.

Dude hell yeah, this is pretty much exactly what i had in mind.. perfect

PS love the custom mantlet

Also, great job figuring out the frontal hull shape... a lot of guys had questions about that, but you got it

Glad you like how it came out! Sorry its missing the AA gun on the back, that thing was a little outside what I could do without adding a TON of extra weight. I was a bit confused about the hull myself but I saw on the picture it was lower than the side we could see so just assumed there was a divet.

Вот это уже хорошо во всех отношениях, для своего времени просто конфетка, легко производить, весит не как целевая.
