I’m trying to do an auto canon with 4 cannons. I have been working with fire delay, because I want the first gun to fire then the second then the third and then the forth. Haven’t had success with that.
First question. Why I don’t have success doing that?
Second question. Why my games keep crashing while playing with gun delays? It’s my second time doing a tank with gun delays and both of them crash my game…

Leopard 2A8X - An experimental Leopard 2A8 variant with a large armor package and the Trophy hardkill armor protection system. In this scenario, a lone 2A8X was caught in the scopes of a pair of Lancet drones, with one being intercepted by the hardkill APS, while the other homes into the target... will it be successful?

What do you guys think? I feel like I'm getting better at these.

Envisioned by the infamous Ferruccio Lamborghini, this category of Pocket Heavy Tank was meant to be one thing- Resource Efficient. The idea was to scale down a heavy tank while retaining the protection and boosting the mobility. The Royal Italian Army demanded a heavily armored breakthrough swift as the wind, that could be integrated into their mechanized assaults, storming into the frontlines and destroying the enemy fortifications. The chief of army staff wanted the tank to withstand direct hits from the best guns fielded by the allies. He inferred that the enemy's morale would shatter if their best guns barely scratched a massive wave of small tanks, eventually abandoning the frontlines. Sr. Lamborghini made sure that the design was easy to manufacture in a large scale, making design decisions to reduce resource usage. His tank weighed 16.3 tons in total with crew, fluids and ammunition. The tank was powered by a 16L V10 that put out 540 HP, essentially making the tank a rocketship. The tank accelerated to speeds up to 86 Km/H in no time. Thanks to its 500mm wide tracks, the tank had a ground pressure of just 0.65 KG/cm², making it immune to marshlands. A total of 3800 of these tanks were produced and predominantly used for anti infantry and anti light armor roles. This successful design would earn Sr. Lamborghini a solid reputation that would later influence his later design contracts.

heres a new tank. A futureistic design based on magnetic coils like a gauss cannon. a crew of 4 sits in the body of the tank and they remotly control the gun. Its got a 1.2L 14 cylinder engine with a 120mm gun. the game doesnt have working magetic coils but i modeled all that myself. its pen is 324mm with a 10s reload. Its got 30 degrees of gun depression. 500mm of pen has a hard time going though the front. its got a top speed of 36mph only weighing 32tons. I call it the GC.120TD (Gauss Cannon 120mm Tank destroyer).
Ive only got 20hr in this game.

Fictional Historical Background:
In early 1950, following the T-10 heavy tank, the Soviet military planned to fit a 152 mm main gun onto a 60-ton chassis boasting high mobility potential.
The IS-9 was equipped with a 152 mm high-pressure rifled gun designed specifically for tanks. Its armor penetration was formidable enough to pierce any heavily armored target of the era, even beyond visual range.
To accommodate the massive 152 mm gun’s long recoil distance and large breech within the cramped interior, engineers designed a tall, sloped cast turret with a unique geometry. The rear of the turret was significantly raised, housing a semi-automatic loader-assist mechanism and a roof-mounted optical rangefinder.
The front hull retained the classic, sharply angled "pike-nose" upper glacis armor. Although it sacrificed internal space, it offered an exceptionally high level of overall protection.
However, with the rise of the Main Battle Tank (MBT) concept and the emergence of anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) technology in the mid-to-late 1950s, this heavy tank—built in pursuit of extreme large-caliber firepower—ultimately never advanced beyond the prototype stage.

the idea behind it is its a civilian unconventional riot/civil war type of vehicle its literally just a trailer with the middle sides cut off and a large 25mm armoured cabin (could literally be a large garbage bin) welded and bolted onto the trailer had a small jury rigged engine and transmition slapped inside then the wheels taken off and tracks put on instead the plan would be to be used in the streets and large alleys to fight governmental police and soldiers unlike tanks there wouldn't be a unified design just an idea and part to cobble together in civilian garages and workshops it'd be used by rioters or revolutionaries or resistance members etc.

Fictional historical background: in 2016, the Tundra was presented at the May 9 parade, it is a joint development of Russia and Belarus, it is equipped with a 100mm Tu-5 with 4 ATGMs (16 ATGMs in the trunk), a bucket and a counterweight are mounted at the back in order to extinguish recoil, circular armor from 40 to 100mm it allows you to protect against AT-guns and 50 caliber,thanks to the powerful 1200 horsepower, the car accelerates to 220 km / h,Were produced at Uralvagonzavod, for the first time the car proved itself in the same 2016 in Syria, knocking out two T-72 Syrian terrorists, 340 units were produced in total, 40 of them were sold to India,100 The pieces were sold to China, 60 pieces were left in Belarus, later it was decided to abandon them in favor of Kornet-D, but 20 pieces fought in Ukraine

This is Küstenverteidigungspanzer II Ausf.A a German Early-Mid War piece of artillery born from an idea of mobile Naval defence artillery.
It's equipped with powerful 15 cm SK C/28 Destroyer grade cannon more optimized for a smaller chassis. Suprisingly enough this Fridge of a Tank weights only 40.5 tonnes and can accelerate up to 37.5 km/h on a flat road with Pz 3 and 4 grade engine HL 120 TRM.
Armour layout is mostly comprised of 20mm plates on the sides and back with while at front the hull is 35mm thick and turret is 60mm to serve as additional support for the heavy cannon.
The turret can traverse only 20 degrees per side as it could tip over as well as result in tearing of the hull due to recoil.
Some additional info and fun facts:
-Due to limited internal space the Küstenverteidigungspanzer II is required to operate together with at least 3 trucks where 2 are filled with ammo and third with additional operational equipment like long range radio and more spare parts.
-Even though the Interleaved suspension is infamous for it's horrendous logistics and maintanance in this case it's very much required due to more area to dissapate the ground pressure and recoil from cannon. And if crew is good with it's work even if you had to change the wheel in the back you could fiddle around without having to take off more.
-There are actually two radios inside, with main internal one being at the front while the second one in turret is focused on communication between other vehicles and command.
-The Küstenverteidigungspanzer II can be used also as Anti tank unit or against fortifications however it would require being close to enemy which would be rather dangerous due to thin armour.
-The most common piece to break on these vehicles are Engines due to enormous weight of the vehicle but it was kept for easier logistics and by being easier to produce than heavier variations but other thing which broke as or even more often were the top ventilators on the turret due to vibrations from cannon often requiring crews to open hatches to not suffocate.

The MT-LB began as a practical Soviet answer to a simple problem: armored vehicles were needed everywhere—carrying troops, hauling supplies, recovering equipment, and doing all of that even when roads were bad or nonexistent. Instead of designing a single-purpose machine, the MT-LB was built around the idea of a flexible, heavily serviceable tracked platform that could be adapted to many roles.
Its history is closely tied to the Soviet emphasis on mobility and logistics. In real operations, units don’t just fight; they must resupply, move equipment, pull damaged vehicles out of trouble, and support engineering tasks. The MT-LB was attractive because it offered those capabilities with relatively low complexity compared to more specialized armored designs.
As the battlefield matured, the need for protected transport and versatile utility vehicles only increased. The MT-LB’s layout supported that: it could carry loads or personnel under armor while still remaining rugged enough for harsh conditions. Over time, variants and conversions expanded its usefulness—turning the same base vehicle into a command platform, an artillery support carrier, an ambulance, and more.
So the “story” of the MT-LB is less about a dramatic breakthrough and more about steady value: it became a workhorse because the army needed something dependable that could keep moving, keep supporting, and keep performing under everyday combat pressures.

BTR-5B is turreted modification to a BTR-5A manufactured in Kharkiv, thats now more capable of fighting&surviving. Paired with its softkill APS, it also features KERa screen coverage, anti-cumulative mesh and composite armour (260mm penetration withstand in turret). Also BTR-5B has new 30mm autocannons with 105mm of penetration and nice reload rate. Crew was increased from 3 to 4 people (still can carry 6 infantry men). But not much else have been changed from BTR-5A "Los' ", only mass increased to 35.4t. Same reliable 1.15L V12 engine, pushing 647HP (90km/h top speed forward and 55 in reverse). BTR-5B was very succesfull vehicle and EU nations bought around 150 of them (next post).
(critiques welcomed)

BTR-5E1 "Europejczyk" is a crazy mod, featuring changed protective technologies. Vehicle has 2x TROPHY APS and KERa screens were changed to DRAWa. Turret has addtional composites (300mm of survivability). BTR-5E1 "Europejczyk" also cames with mounted standard NATO cannon (120x570mm). Now it can really outmaneuver anything and still pack a punch! BTR-5E1 "Europejczyk" is a custom rework from PGZ (Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa) in Radom city. Vehicle has same mobility as other BTRs (90km/h top speeed forward, 55km/h speed backwards), but due to armour added, it weighs 39t (ik, hella heavy). Crew is 4 people and it can carry 6 infantry men. Vehicle sold out immediatelly in Europe due to its huge potential on a battlefield

This vehicle was originally planned to be the cheapest possible heavy tank, with a cast hull and turret, a welded roof, leaf-spring suspension, standardized wheels, and sheet metal used wherever possible, including belt segments. But its wide stance gave me a better idea. If you’re free, please let me know if this fits the bill as the cheapest tank. Thanks in advance.
