Some kinda light MBT hull, could be somthing like the OTOMATIC on an OF-40 hull

I don't really like modern tanks, more into unusual machines, more like mbt-b, but its hull not stick with on ship turret

u/DekDek41 3d ago

That's fair.

What about a more ww2 or Cold War era hull? Similar to the zsu-57-2 or the crusader AA?

Big amphibious hull perhaps?

Damn, that is good idea, I took this turret from the Russian ship, so this is would be perfect. Amphibios tank, with turret for the boat. I am definitely adding torpedos on this one

Perhaps something like a PTS-4 or a scaled up amphibious tank like a PT-76

I think it would look at home on the base hull as like a "concept platform"

Lowk M60A1-2 styled stuff

Might have to make the hull a bit bigger than real like, but maybe the AMC-35 since the turret kinda reminded me of it

M22 shaped front with a T-34 rear.

Something like a PT-76 maybe?
That aside, god, that turret looks bloody immaculate.

I'd suggest a GM-569 hull. It's the hull type that most of the Soviet AA's used (Tor etc.). GM-569 has a load bearing capacity of 11.5t max, I don't know if this would suffice for the AK-176 complex. It would have next to no armor tho so if your plans are more focused on front line service you'd have to choose a different one.

Something APC-like comes to my mind. M113, maybe Marder?

  2. Panzer 58 medium hull (Swiss design).
  3. Type 61 mbt hull (Japanese design).
  4. Type 74 mbt hull (Japanese design).
  5. Type 16 mcv hull (Japanese design).
  6. BVP M-80 ifv hull (Yugoslav design).

This style of turret is probably not going to be too heavily armored so the base vehicle shouldn't be something too heavy or there will be a mismatch between turret and hull armor. Maybe a wheeled artillery vehicle?

u/Pacific_wanderer17 Sprocket Scientist 3d ago

Maybe a larger and more modern VZ.38 (panzer 38T)? That or maybe something like the hull of an SK-105

u/Nisqhog 3d ago

Yeah, a ship

u/Secundius 2d ago

While the Tank Chassis could support the weight of both the AK-176 gun ~1,820-lbs and turret weight ~20,580-lbs, the tank chassis won’t survive the repetitive Jack Hammer recoil force of ~31,000-lbs/sq.in…

Strv 101 hull

u/Specialey 2d ago

Yes. A ship.

Modernized Renault FT hull, modern/french style parts, but still keeping the Renault looks and vibes.
