75mm recoil operated dual feed automatic anti aircraft gun

its not meant to be completely realistic. some details might be "representative", and the guns cycling and "shell hopping" mechanism probably would fall apart irl. but, i at least have given the thought of how this would theoretically work, and to me believable enough is good enough

My first real attempt at making a German WW2 era tank

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)

This game isn't the game I originally liked playing.

Say it's skill issue, say I should have done more research when I bought the game like years ago.

This is not the same game I liked. I don't like having to manually set engine parts and transmissions and gears. I don't like that I have to set what kind of turret traverse motor I need. It's just lost the fun for me, it's slow, way too much of a time sink and not what I originally expected\wanted. I barely even play and when I do now I just lose all the excitement and fun I used to get from this. Probably gonna drop the game now unfortunately, no free time to get all this advanced stuff to just roll around and have fun with a creation of my own.

I present: Gepanzerte Sebsltfahrlafette für 7.5 centimeter KampfwagenKanone 37 mit Panzer III-turm :3

So, I thought: "The StuG's pretty cool, but what if it was turreted" and slapped a Panzer III turret on it, just seems fitting, what with it being the StuG III too, y'know?

>!Yes, I am well aware what I'm doing. It's for the sillies of it all.!<

Some composite monster ive made... Welcome M5A1 "Vindicator"! (1/2)

M5A1 "Vindicator" is a 35,6t vechicle, armed with 45x480mm autocannon (3s reload rate/135mm of pen). Its main characteristics are low silouethe, mobility and firepower. Engine in this thing is custom made by Vetta-Herstellung (VH), 1.10L V12, producing around 630HP, allowing this vehicle to achieve max speed of 68km/h forward and 27km/h in reverse.

Now lets talk about elephant in the room. Yes, this thing is solid for its weight. It can withstand straight up abuse. Upper hull plate easily stops 500mm, lower plate does 400mm, side armour CPS (crew protection system) can save from 220mm of pen, but paired with BRAT, its around 250mm. Turret can stop any projectile up to 350mm. Turret is fully unmaned, which adds up to survivability

Thanks to u/True_General_1639 for name sugestion and BRAT armour idea
