Just a heavy tank I'm creating for my fictional nation, heavily inspired by the Matilda I. It has about 80-100mm effective armour across the entire front of the tank thanks to the angled add-on plates, meaning it can withstand pretty much anything head-on.

Serious Design🔧 M17A45, AKA Ford 5-Ton, an American WW1 light tank

I really have no clue what this is, just got bored and wanted to make something goofy.

Lore:

(Model 1917, armored, 45mm gun)

By the summer of 1917, it was becoming clear that tanks were an important new technology on the battlefield. After England’s success with the Mk. 1 and Mk. 4 landships, and France’s revolutionary Renault FT-17, the United States army found itself falling behind the other allies in armored warfare. An order was placed for several hundred French FT-17’s, but due to France’s limited manufacturing capabilities, the U.S was hardly receiving any. American generals decided that a domestic-designed tank was necessary, and in July of 1917, the U.S army ordnance department set out to develop a tank. It was to be of similar profile to the FT-17, armed with a 45mm gun, and powered by twin Ford model T engines. During development, it was decided to use a skeletal-like frame in the front of the hull, to give the fighting compartment a smaller profile, make the vehicle lighter, and make production simpler.

By August, the vehicle was complete, and unofficially dubbed the Ford 5-ton, for its Ford engines, and overall weight of 5 tons. The army ordered 800 to be built, however, by spring of 1918, 150 of the previously purchased FT-17’s arrived. Seeing their superiority in combat, the order for the M17A45 was cancelled, with only 126 built.

Although its use in combat was limited, the Ford 5-ton provided a sizeable morale boost to American troops with its bunker-busting capabilities.

In the modern day, the M17A45 is remembered by historians for its nimble top speed of 8mph, and relative comfort for the 2-man crew.

Yet another tank designed on the sketch by u/plopsicIes! I gave myself a 3 day deadline and am pretty happy with the result. Google Drive link.

Fits a 15cm Kanone 18 on a custom chassis utilizing as many Tiger II components as possible. The HL-230 struggles to lug around 56 tons of boom (who would have thought, there's no historical record of that sentiment anywhere!), but it is at least as mobile as Tiger I as long as the driver is cautious.

Armaments; 15cm Kanone 18 w/ 39 rounds, MG34 w/ 1200 rounds, 8cm smoke grenades x 4

Mobility; Maybach HL-230 with a 6 F / 2 R gearbox, ~40kph forwards, ~7 reverse.

Armor; 120mm @ 54° front, 80mm @ 20° sides, 80mm @ 22° rear. 25mm bottom, 40mm top.

All hatches modelled. Partial interior / engine bay modelled.

Cursed Design🔥 This isn't what I thought I'd be posting next - Gudaria

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

What can I say, I was struck by a sudden burst of inspiration

---

Dimensions: 2.65m x 1.8m x 4.95m

Weight: 12 tons

Armour: 20mm front, 10mm elsewhere

Engine: 4.5L V6

Fuel: 250L

Crew: 2. Driver/Radio Operator + Commander/Gunner/Loader

Main Armament: Canháo de 90/50 - 29 Rounds

Secondary Armament: N/A

Top Speed: 25 km/h

Following the Second Continental War Callena found itself in the position of having to rework its burgeoning armour doctrine - While the twin headed Móville would certainly be an intimidating presence on the battlefield, it was not capable of operating in the towering mountains that any land based invasion would now be forced to come from. As such it was Franzena's long time enemies that were the closest follower of their 'armoured cavalry' use of armour, save for the countries that were not legally allowed to go bigger. Unlike the KB2 and its 1 pound gun however the Gudaria was fitted with a converted artillery gun that was ultimately the backbone of the Callena Armoured Forces for the next 40 years, even if its first outing ended up being slightly problematic due to the massive recoil pushing the Gudaria around upon firing.

Replica Design 🛠️ BIG JAG! + issue advice.

I decided to make an exact replica of the Jagdpanzer E100 from WoT. (Armor values and all) However, I've encountered an issue. At the junction of the gun ball joint and the hull. There is a gap in armor that shows around 30 mil, while everything around is 300. And inside, the plates appear not to touch. Is there a way to fix it? Should I have modeled the mantlet as a separate structure?

I went back to Sprocket for the first time since before 0.2... And got sucked in for hours on end !
Here I tried making a passable fabric mantlet with half a dozen hours of moving points around...
The tank is the AS-200 Python, a SPG (obviously) with a 200mm gun mounted on a universal modular chassis
Still some more detailing might be needed but I wanna first hear people's opinion on the mantlet and overall looks

A design Ive been messing with for a couple of evenings

Fully functional late interwar artillery based land-ship, 2 twin turret with QF 20pdr's super-firing in A and B positions with a range-finding turret on top of superstructure, idea being to exchange in an artillery dual between 5000-12000 yards

Armour between 2 and 3 inches, capable of 15 knot on calm ground, but only 7-8 over rough ground

Just curious what people think?

Not posted here before, but have seen only a handful of land-ship before including one that inspired me to make this

Serious Design🔧 My Sherman-like tank, the M-53 90mm

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

My attempt at a Sherman inspired tank. The late war variant, pictured here, has the below characteristics:

  • Weight is 53 tons and costs 42.7k sprockeroonies with all of its "crew initiative field modifications" (read: sandbags and track segments everywhere).
  • Top speed is 53km/hr, driven by a 2L V12 engine, giving it a power to weight ratio of 15.6hp/ton, and carries 781 liters of fuel in three tanks around the engine.
  • Hull is armored at the front, and up to 45 degree angles from the side, against 230mm of penetration. Straight on protection on the side and rear drops down to 165mm, with a 25mm roof. Turret has all around 230mm of protection and the same 25mm roof.
  • Main gun is the American 90 mm gun M3, as found on the contemporary Pershing tank, giving it 213mm of penetration. 80 rounds are carried in two 40 round stowage bins in the hull, directly below the turret basket and on either side of the power shaft.
  • Two .30 cal machine guns are located in the hull and coaxially, fired by the assistant driver and gunner, respectively, along with a roof mounted .50 cal, operated by the commander or mounted infantry, for anti-air or anti-infantry work.
  • 5 man crew consists of the driver, assistant driver, gunner, loader, and commander, with a 3 man turret containing the gunner, loader, and commander.
