It's like a WW1 tank and a present day battle tank had a baby - look at those beautiful big treads! Fantastic!

Indeed I think that's what he was going for

Офигенно!!! Так сказать, как живой, только мне кажется, что всё-таки переднюю часть гусениц, если закрыть, будет, кхм "технологичнее", но я умолкаю, так как сам подобное не сделаю.
Сколько не смотрю на работы, столько получаю наслаждения, всё сделано невероятно живо и естественно.

I like the design but aren't the exposed treads risky?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True. A well placed grenade or IED will detrack it, and with tracks like those, it's going to be a fun time retracking.

That's pretty much the only thing I don't like about it. Everything else is amazing.

Actually, I noticed a Tiger weakness. The driver's viewport, smack dab in the middle, a 90 degree angle.

But the length of the tracks, compared to the main body of the tank, should give it a lot better groundresistance, which in turn should provide improved maneuverability, right? I don't really see this tank in a modern MBT-role, but more in a tankdestroyer-role, just considering it's looks...

True. But again, exposed tracks...

This is one hell of a Concept Tank, you Sir have an Amazing Gallery of Concept Designs......This Detailed presentation is top row for sure
all the best to you

This looks like tank from Warhammer 30K...
But weapon systerm are diiferent.

MBTs should be short for less of a silhouette; I thought this was an APC at first.

Which solfwares did you use for drawing or modeling this kind of military vehicles and weapons?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Looks awesome.
Not a fan of such exposed treads though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Same here. An AP round to those top treads would ruin your day.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
AP not to much, as it would have to hit a part holding it together, HE on the other hand or just a soldier with an RPG would have an easier time to immobilize it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yep. A single shot at a tread and the whole tank is now immobilized, meaning very easy kill for just about anything out there. A walker (unrealistic with "current day" technology) can at least limp off the battlefield. A hovering vehicle can float away (presumably the shot hit the flap or vertical armor). And a 6+ wheeled vehicle can still somewhat roll away.
Looks cool, though!

Yep, which is why modern tanks like the Leopard 2 has atleast some armouring to protect the treads. This one has them exposed with a larger profile.
Now if it was a self propelled Howitzer it wouldn't matter nearly as much. If your arty can be directly engaged by the enemy, then you have done something wrong.

Reminds me of C & C 3: Tiberium Wars and Kane's Wrath. Looks surprisingly similar to a scorpion tank from the GDI factions
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Scorpion tank form GDI ?? =/"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. Scorpion tank. From COMMAND AND CONQUER 3. It looks pretty similar. Well, in design i mean.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Scorpion is the NOD tank. The GDI one was called predator.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yeah, that's right...don't I appear noobish right now. Either way, you got my point right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I viewed your gallary and have to say you have made a few sweet thinks and hope you got more in storage.

Nice concept. A lot of tiny details. Modeller's nightmare ))

150mm Smoothbore Cannon? How about 150mm Railgun / Ion Cannon? Those should be suit for this furturistic tank.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just because its a conventional gun doesn't mean it can't equip a futuristic tank.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I never said "can't equip", but little bit unsuit on futuristic tank, as same as 21st century US marine using Napoleonic-era musket.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Railguns aren't as flexible and can only fire straight. More conventional guns can lob there shots. So if you get an opponent in a good hulldown position, then that railgun, particle cannon or whatever becomes useless.

Looks really cool, but I'd have left the front of the treads a hair less exposed. they're really vulnerable.

Thor is here.
Hammer of the gods!
Thunder and lightning, this is crazy!
(Lowered voice) Quiet... I'm trying to (now yelling) sneak up on them!

I think that your art is great but this concept has a serious flaw from a practical field perspective. That much exposed forward facing track simply invites assault and the very last thing a heavy armor unit commander want sto hear is , "Sir we're off the track". Plus the absence of a drive wheel cover allows for debris to ride the track over the top to get jammed under the upper chassis plate.
I realize that this is fiction, just thought I'd drop in a little field experience.
Still, I'd hate to see this big dawg in in my forward scope.
DWH, GySgt, USMC ret.

Yep, cool but the tracks would get damaged easily x)
