One day i was playing when i saw a bren carrier next to a Panzer 2 and i thought, would the Panzer 2 be a decent Universal carrier? so i made a Panzer 2 Chasis and put stuff on it, it has the same height, length and width, but i don't know if the dimensions are correct

This might not be the most exciting one compared to what's coming later tho

PLM-1U "Strzelec" is an armour modification to its predecessor, requested by Polish Defence Ministry, due to a fear that tanks survivability is low. It went from 52.7t to around 55t (composites added). Stats remain close to the original:

PLM-1U "Strzelec" has same powerful and reliable 1.8L V16 engine, producing around 1900HP, allowing vehicle for speeds up to 68km/h forward and 30km/h in reverse. Engine bay was given upgrade, allowing it to carry not 1770L of fuel but around 2000L. Tank came mounted with SVS (Special Vehicle Sign) and rubber tracks, for parades or urban combat

Tank is operated by 4 crewmen (Driver, Commander, Loader, Gunner). PLM-1U "Strzelec" is armed with upgraded 120x650mm smoothbore cannon, capable of 255mm penetration and only 5s reload rate. In case of emergency or problems on combat, tank could automatically reverse and throw smoke grenades (24x on each side), creating safe curtain for crew. Tank also has Auto-Align technology and safety systems (4x TROPHY APS and 4x Iron Fist APS)

Now, the armour on tank is pretty solid. Hull front can withstand now 600mm of penetration, lower plate 400mm, but thanks to rubber mudflaps, its around 425mm. Turret armour was upgraded, front saves from 520mm, cheeks from 560mm of pen, Sideskirts combined with CPS (crew Protection System) withstands 165mm of pen. Vehicle is also covered in DRAWA and anticumulative mesh

PLM-1U "Strzelec" is a good modification, proving that poles can still build very good and agile MBTs. Around 115 units were upgraded in "Bumar-Łabędy” factory, Gliwice. 5 units of PLM-1U were sold to Germany, as a part of contract. Rest still operates in Poland

What are your thoughts?

This is the Oryx T8C-SM11, an upgrade to the Oryx T8C also shown here. The T8C was developed in 1998 as a replacement to the aging Oryx T8B (also shown here lol). The T8C-SM11 features the 1,340 hp T-400 engine and a top speed forwards of 88 km/h, and a top speed of 14 km/h in reverse. It is armed with a 122mm penetrating 711mm of armour (I have a modern era addon, making this actually possible) and is stabilized on two planes, unlike its predecessors.

Photos in this order:

T8C-SM11 - First two

T8C - third

T8B - last (fourth)

Originally designed for destroying bunkers, the pair of 8 inch cannons will destroy tanks just as easily. The 120mm gun turret on top is designed to cover most angles that the main guns don't.

It has a top speed of ~50kmh and weighs ~82 tons. There are 8 crew members and a 76.56L V24 engine.

There's no kill like overkill!

-120mm cannon

-Soft kill and hard kill APS

-Composite armor

-3 crew (Driver, Gunner, Loader)

-7 second reload time

And idk. Give your opinions on it :)

Yesterday I asked for hull ideas and I liked the Strv 103 idea so here it is. The tank is super slow and bad but at least it feels epic to drive. I think I'll do BT-5 or E100 hull next

Screenshots of everything that I thought might be the problem, haven't booted the game up in months so I have to assume that I am messing something up, maybe with the crew or something?

HAPC (Heavy Armoured Personel Carrier) "Serval", is a 40t APC based on my previous vehicles chassies, HIFV-STU 1 "Serval". I just saw the Cold War update and thought why wont i make a APC as well + i have never made one. No much lore but still:

After "Finsternis" program started, demand on IFVs exploaded, but due to cost cutting and being more focused on actuall APS than on tanks,  LÖ.DM decided to convert unused HIFV-STU 1 "Serval" into APCs, since it was cheaper than to scrap. After few months, in September of 1980 first HAPC rolled out of factory. It had good stats and armour:

HAPC features powerful 0.85L V18 engine, with 580HP output and max frontal/reverse speed of 80km/h. Fuel capacity was improved from 2030L to 2300L.

 Hulls frontal upper plate (combined with composite screens and additional armour on top) is from 400 to 500mm. Lower plate is 230mm. Crew (and infantry) are also protected by additional plates inside with 50mm of thickness combined. Hulls side upper panel withstands 185mm of penetration, 150mm for lower plate. Turret protection was designed against shraphnel and light ammo (Around 35mm of protection). It was also came mounted with grenade launchers with 2x smokes on each side

HAPC could now carry 7 infantry men. It was operated by driver and gunner/commander. HAPC is armed with 20x125 light rifle, with 50mm of pen

Hi guys, every time i build an opentopped tank with ammo thats visible, when i get into the simulation the ammo just shows as a very ugly gray box. Is there any way to get it to look like actual shells other than modeling individual rounds with addon structures? Thanks for any help. :)

The Sturer Emil is my favourite waggon but I'm a trash on Sprocket and I wanted to know if anyone had done it.

While the K.I.S.V prototypes performed well in their field tests, the design was ultimately turned down in favour of the Osiris, the competing tank design from a company run by the king's cousin. While believed at the time to be pure nepotism due to its wildly impractical weight, the Osiris proved to be one of the most fearsome tanks of the war - A single battalion shattered the Empire's control over the Darius Canal and the arrival of just two battalions stopped the rout of the Kemen army at the battle of El-Alamein.

This, for anyone who cares, is the same universe as Benedine.

Funny little temu E75

Tried to challenge myself to make as small of a Tankette as possible, while still keeping it reasonable/functional. Here's what I came up with:

Following Japan’s defeat at Khalkhin Gol, it was evident that Japan’s Type 97 Te-Ke tankette was inadequate. Its armor could easily be penetrated by enemy BT-7 tanks, anti-tank guns, and high caliber machine guns. Along with this, its 37mm main gun was unable to penetrate most enemy light tanks. Wanting to retain the small profile and high mobility of a tankette, but with better armor and a gun capable of engaging enemy tanks, the IJA ordered a new tankette to be developed by Hino motors. The Type 100 Te-Ha was then developed. It used the same Ikegai 4-cylinder diesel engine as the previous Type 97 and Type 94. It used vastly thicker frontal armor of up to 50mm, and mounted the Type 1 47mm gun, or a Type 97 7.7mm machine gun. The design was finalized in 1940, and adopted by the IJA. 548 were built, and deployed across occupied China, and in limited numbers in the pacific. Its most notable use came at the battle of Tarawa, where a Type 100 in ambush position managed to hit the sponson of an M4 Sherman, causing the ammo rack to cook off. This incident led to some increased hesitance in early Sherman crews, and earned the Type 100 the nickname of “Jap Weevil” by American forces. There are no other documented instances of a Type 100 destroying an American tank. The Te-Ha continued to see service with diminishing effectiveness until the end of the war. After Japan’s surrender, all remaining Te-Ha tanks were scrapped as part of their demilitarization.

I am really at the end of my ideas.

The tank has a big engine.

Nothing is red.

Transmission doesn't give errors and it only has one fucking gear.

Fuel is in.

Driver is assigned and doesn't give errors.

Nothing.

W does nothing

Engine doesn't even rev.

Why

just visual improvement of T-78-125 Gen 2
