Type-45 Fujibayashi - late war Japanese tank

Sexy Japanese tonk with German night vision for the commander and big ol' gun. Tried a little with weathering and decals. Should be added to 7.7 in War Thunder :3

More Spookston thumbnail shenanigans - Flakhetzer Drilling German SPAA

(in spookston's voice) Germany WW2 tanks are usually pretty good, however there's one exception, the Flakhetzer Drilling *insert drill.mp3*. It used to be pretty decent but now gaijin decided to move it down to 7.3, and it just absolutely shreds planes and things like the T25 *insert sad hamster music and T25 exploding.gif*

---

Kugelthingy on Hetzer chassis with an 88mm for the buffed up bombers and two additional 30mm cannons. Did this for a competition on discord a while ago. It's more likely that the T95 entered mass production than this thing working irl.

Guess what? I need your help with deciding what MG/autocannon layout we put on our new abomination

what's better looking?

first: 2 23mm autocannons in middle

second: 1 23mm in center 2 12.7mms on outer part

also, miniguns or normal ones?

Edit 1: it is late 90s tank

new generation scrap tank!

hello, today i wanted to show the second scrap tank that i made, the wheelbase is just a modified wheelbase of the previous scrap tank as i imagine it could be made from similar found pieces

the main reason why i wanted to make this tank tho was just to goof around with the wierd driver-behind-turret setup, i thought a scrap theme would be fitting

this time, while the majority of the plates on the tank still are 10mm, some reach 15mm and the stacked plates on the right front plate allow for 50mm of armor!

the cannon has 70mm of penetration, what suffered greately tho was the ammo amount in the tank, as its a rarer (i imagine) armament theres only 28 rounds (instead of the 150 rounds in the previous tank), but i guess i should add more ammo in the next variants...

even tho this is a very goofy design, i did think of how it could be actually constructed while i was making it

now that i think about it, this tank could really benefit from some additional lights or smt

42M Huba I

I originally wanted to build some australian tank, but kinda drifted off a lot haha. So yeah, here we go: an hungarian tank!

Its armed with an 75mm as the main gun, along with an 20mm in the secondary turret and a handful of MGs.

It has a crew of 5: Commander, Gunner, Loader, Driver and Secondary Turret Operator.

Overall designed to be a mass produceable and reliable medium tank.

Name Explanation/Translation: Model 1942 Huba (one of the Seven Chieftains of the Magyars) I

TL;DR: my australian concept turned hungarian mid-build cause im bad at designing tanks :) still nice build

A kind of rushed design, but I think it looks great!

New tank ive made for my fictional country of Löwenstaat, welcome the CTTD-1!

CTTD-1 (Composite Technology Tank Demonstration - 1) is a monstrosity developed in December 1983 by LÖ.DM, in atempt to showoff its capabilities of composite armour engineering.

Tank weighs 69.3t, and to move such a heavy unit, it was given powerful 1.7L V12 engine with 1260HP and special transmission, allowing tank to travel at speeds of 65km/h forward and 23km/h backwards. To supply engine with enough fuel, it has given a big 2405L tank.

Now the armament. CTTD-1 is armed with 120x630mm (240mm pen) smoothbore cannon and features 5s bustle autoloader. Tank is operated by 3 people (Driver, Commander and Gunner)

Armour on CTTD-1 is insane. Frontal upper and lower plates can withstand **500+**mm of penetration (frontal plate can do more than 600mm in my opinion), sides can withstand 250mm in Crew Protection Module. Turret armour is also nice, front and cheeks have combined thickness of around 600mm, while sides are around 210mm thick (At 30-45 degrees angles it easily eats 500mm darts). Turrets autoloader system was also given some protection (combined with anti-cumulative mesh) it can withstand 330mm (of course if we talk abt APFSDS and not HEAT). I played Defence Scenario on this tank and I was practically invincible to other tanks.

Overall CTTD-1 was a very interesting project, but way too heavy, complicated and expensive (92,17k Sprocket pts), so LÖ.DM cut off the financing and only 1 unit was ever produced (Something simmilar to CATTB fate)

(Tank looks kinda bald i know, most of my budget went into composites 😭)

What are your thougths?
