I like the missile design. Though, what was your alternative?

EDIT:

And how about futurizing it? Any ideas on making it look meaner?

My alternative is a semi enclosed set of missile tubes. The missiles are enclosed in an angled cover with a pivot point at the rear of the launcher.

Right now, I think it looks awesome. But how about making it meaner-looking somehow? Or streamlining it and making it more futuristic?

I have futurized it a bit with a modular armor system, which changed the turret design,those holes are smoke dischargers and the active defense system. Additionally the turret plasmagun has a lower profile, as does the new missile launcher. What do ya think?

The turret looks really cool and your doing a great job with the sketches.

One thing you could do to make it more streamlined would be lower the base, but keep the length, and to make it look futuristic......... a hover tank!

Thanks! Hmm I could lower it... I don't know about a hover tank though...

"Железный Герцог" (if its russian)
Does that literally translate to ferrous czar?

Thats one awesome tank. Maybe the barrel on the main gun could be thicker/longer though?

As for streamlining it perhaps side skirts that go all the way down like on the Leclerc would help? Or alternatively track gurads that dont go down as far? Maybe increase the glacis slop a little more?

I just went on a free translator.

Probably literally it would translate to that, "Iron Duke" probably doesn’t have the same meaning in Russian.

When you think about it Ferrous-Iron is "close" to the same thing and Czar-Duke are "close" to the same meaning.

ferrous czar
железный царь

Iron Duke
Железный Герцог

The only difference is Duke/Czar

Just a try, lower the base of the tank so the mud flap would be touching the ground, and then proportion the "accessories" around that.

Hmm the mudflap is a bit short. The only problem I can see with lowering the ide skirts all the way, or about all the way, is that they will hit the ground, hindering cross country mobility.

More stuff on the way...

Great scotts! That's really good! Maybe, and I mean really maybe since this latest work is really good, somehow making the turret bigger (it doesn't look too imposing from the side) would make the tank look scarier. But I don't know, it's frontal profile makes the turret look huge and really intimidating. Oh, and on the turret, there are two plasma turrets, not one.

Sorry for the late reply, I was busy getting chased around by all sorts of headcrab-infected nastiness. Gah!

But I love what you did, it's great! The missile turret is wonderful and the main turret's design is just gorgeous!

Good work man. You're just amazing, and the effort you put into it, by god. You ought to get paid. I feel so ashamed, it's like I took advantage of you. I should be handing you a wad of cash or something!

That's a beautiful tank, btw. I'm saving it into my HD.

Well, you don't have to make it visible on the side profile, just at the frontal profile. Heck, that could be a HT-72K1, which might not have a second turret-turret. Hmm, maybe a 72K1 would also be a bit smaller than the 72K3, which would have a turret a wee bit bigger. Yeah!

I have added a second turret in the front view.

And yeah, the mudflap is longer.

Code: Select all

The mudflap is wha?

Its a (typically) rubber flap that keeps mud and stones from flying up from the rear of a vehicle near the tires or tracks.

I didn't really see anything get longer.

BTW, is it possible for you to lessen the height of the body? If it's not, or if you don't want to, it's okay, the drawing's magnificent as it is. But, could you?

I'm talking about making the treads reach up to either of the lines I drew on this drawing:

Image

(well, it doesn't have to follow those lines, but making the body not so tall in general)

EDIT:

Though, would shortening it make it inconsistent with the dimensions in the article I wrote (13x5.5x3.5m)?

I can do that and it shouldn't mess with the scale. I'll work on it soon.

I drew up another tank, this one's a little smaller. I decided to try my hand at an apc or ifv.
