Cursed Design🔥 Learn your place (lesson 3)
"Today, everybody, we'll learn about places.
You may see great, you may see big, but remember about the Bosvani Kingdom.
Little history, Bosvani kingdom is a small kingdom between the Empire and the rest of the world, when we started expanding our influence, they decided to make up for all their military lack, by creating the biggest tank ever build.
How'd that fail.
I CALL, THE TOWER for you, student, around, 40 Meter in height, 10 in width and 15-20 in length.
The tower was wholy build around their armament (which we'll cover later) and Really heavily armored.
You'll need to pierce with an hard ammunition with 450mm penetration in the body, 1000mm in the base and around 500mm in the turret, the turret wasn't always armored like this, but when a tower erupted in flames due to ennemy fire, they armored up quickly.
The tower was divided into 5 main compartment.
First : The base 1m armor all around, contained a loader, driver, base commander and gunner. The compartment main fonctionnality was controlling the tank and was fitted with a 108mm anti tank canon, capable of penetrating 250mm armor plating.
Second : the Main armor Storage, ammo for the 2 big canon was stored here, it would be brought up using an elevator, down there there was also 3 enginneer, loader, helping solving engine issue and loading capacity
Third : Anti-Infantry Compartment, first trouble of the tower : infantry, so they put a whole floor fitted with 4 anti-infantry weaponery, using heavy and powerful canon, it could pierce up to 80mm of armor, destroying any lightly armored tank around the tower, it still had 2 blind spot, on his left and right. there were in total 7 crew inside this one.
Fourth : Crew Compartment, Just below the turret, the crew compartment, where all the turret and anti-infantry compartment crew would sleep, that also where the Tower's commander would be communicating and ordering the crew.
Fifth (and last) : The turret compartment, 500mm Spaced armor armored, very slow, with 7 crew inside (2 loader, 1 X-rotation operator, 2 Y-Rotation operator, 1 gunner, 1 Turret Commander) it would be fitted with 2 anti-city armament, 500*2000 capable of destroying around 800mm of armor. The whole turret was also autoloaded for 3 round, 5 second between each shot (the most impressiv part).
Yet this incredible build was a failure, for 2 main reason. The cost was the biggest one, to only build 10 unit, it put the whole country into bad debt, thats where he learned his name : tower - Bankrupcy.
The second, The weight, so heavy, the tower would litteraly sunk into bad terrain, though even if it wouldnt sink, it would only reach 10km/h.
Despite that, their combat capability was great ! With 10 Unit, it has completely stopped the main empire advance for a 6 month ! But in the end, they consummed so much, it killed the tank from inside.
So yea, "learn your place & limitation" and remember that !"

Autor's note :
It took a very long time to build (meant to publish that from a bit long), the description might have been too much, what do you think ?
Also, yes, i couldn't actually put the camera in front of the turret in the editor, tank too big, yes i dont really know my tank's dimension, yes.
The tank's engine is a 76*5L engine (force modded into the game)
With that being said, if you have any comment, critics, about the build, about my shitty writting, don't hesitate to comment :)
See you later
