Still working on my first real attempt at making a German WW2 era tank.
This one is called the Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung K (8,8 cm KwK L/56) (Sd.Kfz. 181/1) and has an earlier, slightly modified version of the famous 8,8 cm Kampfwagenkanone 36 L/56
(STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS)
Its a new Fanfic I thought up. I then told a friend of mine, who helped with the first chapter. I think it came out amazingly and its a new type of fanfiction I am doing.
I made this cursed Leopard as a What if the Germans decided to stick with their 12.8 cm Kanone, and made the Rheinmetall 128 mm Glattrohrkanone L/44
(I know it doesn't look anything like a Leopard 2, and that's why I gave it the name of KPz 128/44, since it's meant to be a special test variant of the tank.
(ITS STILL HEAVILY WIP)
Here is my first Romanian (Fictional) Heavy tank, the R-44 Balaur, armed with the Tun Antitanc de 88 mm Model 1944 L/59 cannon.
What do you guys think? I personally really like how it came out!
Turret front is 245mm
Turret sides and rear at 55mm
has 10 degrees of gun depression
Hull lower upper plate is 145mm raw thick
Hull Upper upper plate is 65mm thick
Hull lower plate ranges from 155mm to 115mm since its shaped similar to the T110E5 hull.
Hull sides are 45mm thick
Hull rear is 45mm thick
Main guns are 120mm L10A2 with (In Sprocket) 204mm of pen. But depending on what tier you guys suggest, pen will change.
Loading time for each gun is 10.7 seconds, and they can ONLY be fired together, they can't be fired one at a time.
The engine is only 812hp, giving the tank 15 hp/t and its max speed is 41kph with a 12kph reverse speed.
If you guys are wondering. Yes, I took inspiration from the AMX 65T turret slightly. Especially the turret front lol.
Also, just to make balancing this thing a bit harder. This thing will have standard AP, Prem AP and HESH.
I can't wait to see what you guys do with this thing if it were to be added to WOT XD
The Obiekt 952A Sprut-115U is an experimental medium-weight combat vehicle developed to bridge the growing capability gap between modern light tanks and increasingly heavy main battle tanks. Weighing just under 36 tonnes, the platform prioritises mobility, frontal survivability, and high-tempo firepower, offering a flexible alternative to traditional MBTs in fast-paced and resource-constrained combat environments.
At the core of the Sprut-115U is the 115mm 2A92-ltwt smoothbore cannon, a lightweight, high-pressure gun system designed specifically for the vehicle. Firing advanced 3BM71-1BV APFSDS-DU rounds at extremely high velocity, the weapon delivers exceptional penetration performance while maintaining a reduced overall system mass. The gun is supported by a hybrid autoloading system, featuring a three-round ready rack capable of rapid burst fire with a 2.39-second intraclip reload, followed by a sustained 3.89-second reload cycle. This allows the Sprut-115U to deliver overwhelming initial firepower before repositioning or disengaging.
The vehicle’s protection philosophy centres on extreme frontal survivability paired with aggressive weight management. The hull and turret incorporate experimental third-generation NERA (Non-Explosive Reactive Armour) arrays, layered within sharply angled structures to maximise effective thickness. This results in exceptionally high resistance across the frontal arc, with both the lower glacis and turret face designed to function as deceptive “armour traps” rather than conventional weak points. In contrast, side and rear protection is deliberately minimised—down to 40 mm on the hull and 65 mm on the turret—to preserve mobility and enforce tactical positioning discipline.
Internally, the Sprut-115U adopts a crew-survivability-focused layout, with separated ammunition storage and blowout panel integration to mitigate catastrophic damage in the event of penetration. The compact turret and integrated autoloader reduce crew exposure while enabling a low overall silhouette, improving survivability in hull-down engagements.
Powered by a 1023-horsepower engine, the vehicle achieves an impressive power-to-weight ratio of approximately 28.6 hp/ton, granting it excellent acceleration, manoeuvrability, and tactical responsiveness. This mobility allows the Sprut-115U to operate effectively as a flanking asset, rapid-response unit, or mobile defensive platform.
Rather than replacing main battle tanks, the Obiekt 952A is intended to operate alongside them, fulfilling roles traditionally associated with medium tanks—providing mobile fire support, exploiting breakthroughs, and engaging enemy armour from advantageous positions. Its design reflects a modern interpretation of battlefield requirements, where adaptability, speed, and selective survivability are favoured over uniform protection.
