Against Center-of-Mass hits?
Seems like that zone is well armored.
Well, rather, upper chest hits...

yes thats very improbable armor nothing really protecting the hardware or the turret much less the underslung launchers a good thump an they would cause all sorts of chaos on the hull an the rotating mechanics
shes wearing a jump suit to be expected inside a tank...

indeed

Also, having that big gap between the turret and the body for the beneath the turret launchers creates what is called a "shot trap". Instead of deflecting glancing shots away from the tank like you want to, any shell that gets into that gap will be deflected into the tank's weak points (namely the junction between the turret and the hull). This is considered a huge design flaw for a tank.

I think the only advantage to this beast is that it's on wheels, speed and maneuvering. I guess it forces the opponent to decide between a head shot or body.

My first thought was "look at all the shot traps and weak spots"... As long as they're throwing physical shells around the battlefield, that's a particularly poor design. For directed-energy weapons? There's enough handwave room to get around the problems, but it's still inefficient. Look at the size of the turret ring compared to the size of the figure; that's going to be a huge bottleneck feeding the cannon, because the turret isn't big enough to fit the crew entirely inside, so they'll need to fit in the turret ring, too.

The positioning of the missile pods, though, their effectiveness depends on the design of the missiles. Having them pre-programmed to do a pop-up after launch to acquire their target lets the tank stay more fully hull-down and still fire, but their position under the turret is still a concern if they're damaged and dangle by one end down where they can interfere with turret rotation; turret side would be better.

"Let's see that stupid cat torment me now! WHO'S LAUGHING NOW, MR. WHISKERS?! WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?!?! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

She's ready for a fight.

indeed

We know it.

Is it wierd that i´m looking at the tank and can point out multiple design errors ?

Seems like some Main gun componets aren´t protected against shrapnel or mg fire .

Very open turret ring provokes hits and scrapnel to disable the turret rotation .

Inconvenient placement of therocketpods , can only be fired when a huge portion of the tank is vissible .

Think i stop now

Also i´m proably wierd XD

No weirdness I tend to do the same thing.

I see that main cannon, it looks kinda like a Rail Gun. I like

This is one heck of a picture ya did, awesome tank and cool looking character. =D Love the detail.

Yay, impractical armor! It really is the best :) Cool tank too!

Nice work, Mapper

thank you sir Petipet gets credit for the tank

A badass mouse with a badass tank. A winning combo!

Wow, been a while... An awesome work as always Mapper!!

4 months. art muses seem to be on permanent vacation

more please

Yikes! I don't know which would be more fun to model. The Tank Mouse or the Railgun tank itself.

indeed

It reminds me of a model of an old M60 A2 "Starship" I built in the late 1980s, when I had just learned how to drybrush the sharp edges on the model with silver to represent wear and scuffing. Even all beat up and ragged looking, the tank still looked tough.

when dealing with 3d, texturing is a make or break. I hate lack of detail.

Meh, she's supposed to be inside a tank so we can let you get away with some artistic license there. The tank itself, after looking at it a couple of times I have to agree with the others. Easy meat for anti-tank infantry and gun crews if they can get a bead on it. Still, good to see you back.

I think the only thing that might save this on the field is its speed and the radar. As long as the incoming isn't guided

For the sake of being a dick, we're going to say they are....

Good to see you haven't changed much in all these years. Nicely done sir.

pretty much the same just older

TANK-TASTIC!!

Look at the size of that! It's almost as big as mine!
