My first thought is that as a strength, the multi-tread system means you've the ability to crawl anywhere. However, that kind of mobility gets slowed down on uneven ground more so then other tanks. I also feel like it''d way more than 1000 kilograms, given that I've seen trucks smaller than this bad boy in that weight range, and those trucks weren't Any where near as thickly armored. Could somebody recommend a better number on the weight?

 

[Vorhi Alestrani]

The m-1 tank is approximately 60,870 kg.

It is 2.44 m tall, 3.66 m wide, 7.93 m in Hull length, and 9.77 m in gun length, according to wikipedia. Seeing as your hull is longer, wider, and taller, doing the math gave me a hell of a repeating number via wolfram alpha. Adjusting the tank to the new volume, and assuming that the materials have no significant difference in weight, I came up 117,325 Kilograms for the mass of this vehicle. That being said, if someone feels Duranium Steel has a lighter density than depleted uranium armor (which I'm assuming is part of what makes an M-1 so Fething heavy), feel free to make a different weight suggestion.

I have a couple of questions:

1. Do we really want it to be tread based? Wouldn't making it a hover tank bypass the limitation on speed.

2. Also wouldn't the crew be at least 5? A commander, driver, loader, gunner, loader and mechanic?

 

[Davion Wright]

Thanks for the suggestion guys. REally appreciate it. I'm new to the whole Factory thing so i thank you for the help!

And @[member="Daxton Bane"]: This tank is made for durability more than anytihng. I will be making vehicles for firepower and speed soon so don't you worry!

 

[Daxton Bane]

Always a pleasure to be of help. For heavy tanks I would suggest using the Sith Empire Main Battle Tank for reference. Those things can really take a beating. As an alternate, I think OP also has a good front line armor.

Once we get the alchemy rps done I want to do a dev thread for armor alloy we can use to for our arsenal so I am also eager to see how things go.

 

[Davion Wright]

Ah, alright then. Gotta link for me @[member="Daxton Bane"]?

 

[Daxton Bane]

Im on my way to church atm give me a few hours and I will try to find it as soon as I get back, ok?

 

[Davion Wright]

@[member="Daxton Bane"] Alrighty then.

Here is a link to the SI Arsenal which contains links to their other gears. You can use these as a basis for our own creations as these are considered realistic by the tech teams.

I'm just being picky here, but maybe you could add more info on the Description? Say what does it look like (go into detail that the picture doesn't show) what are its weaknesses? what can it NOT go over? and as for a tank maybe add a larger main weapon rather than just two anti-personnel weapons. Since tanks are made to take out other tanks and blow up houses and stuff. You know the BIG GUNS!

as for misc you may want to add GPS as they cant really see out from the view ports. (if there are any), medical kit (maybe) tracking device, and add anything else that my be usualy see in a WW2 tank(ust upgraded)

maybe add into detail about what CAN pass though its armor plating and how a person would enter/exit the tank. we as Rpers can really say press and hold X to enter said tank. The more info you add the more likely it will be approved.

Once again this is just me being picky.

@[member="Darth Solrune"] All good suggestions. I appreciate every last one.

 

[Garza]

No problem man.

 

[Davion Wright]

Let me know how it looks now.
