TONKS!! - Tumbril Nova heavy tonk

[Phantomoftruth]

Track jockey thoughts

9-12 smoke canister launchers
4 sets of 6 something, possibly EM/IR baffling
twin S1? laser repeaters, Remote-driven from inside the tank
S4 Conformed Railgun Main (stated Ballistic), 10d declination?, 35d inclination?
Track skirts obscure Live or Dead Track design
appears to have two Driver viewing ports, likely one is navigator or augmented sensors
It lacks other direct view ports for crew
I anticipate crew of three, driver, gunner, commander (crew of three in Art, crew of four in Art.)
Weight distribution appears to be 40/60, front/back
Weight 80-90 ton, 80-90,000Kg
expected size based on scaling difference of Humv/Cyclone
L 12m confirmed as 16M
W 9m confirmed as 7m
H 7m confirmed as 5m

I do not expect it to mount a shield, although I'd never knock improved survival.
I dislike that it stands so tall.
Lacking an image of the back, Cannot make assumption of Merkava-like entry.
similar, no obvious crew entry.

EDITED

im going to use the new chafe system to distract air attacks

Tumbril Nova, possible proof that CIG loves TEST Squadron & its Concierge members by showing them support for us getting tanked? I think so!

This i fully support.

Track jockey thoughts. . .
I dislike that it stands so tall.

So you have manned real tanks in the past? Tell us more. . .

It could be that it looks tall because it is unusually short.

I doubt there would be viewing ports. All the old optics are gone. The T-14 Armata uses just high def cameras.

 

[Talonsbane]

Based on my personal experience with tanks, I would not want to piss off the people inside that are operating it.

Sigh i was trying not to spend any more money.... Not sure what to get now just the tank or sell all my other Warbonds and get the full package? That snowblind skin does sound pretty sexy.

 

[AntiSqueaker]

Gonna be honest, this looks pretty bland and generic.

I mean a tanks a tank and all, but this looks more like "generic scifi tank #7" concept art you find when googling "cool scifi future tank"

 

[Sirus7264]

I got the normal warbond no point in getting the other one just for the skin wish they had an option to combine everything into a pack.

I have now posted in all three threads!

But, have you *shit-posted* in all 3 threads? THAT is the question! lol

 

[AstroGimp01]

Lookin' at the high-res imagery, the gun barrel appears to be 2-parts which suggests a railgun, but it is basically as big as an Aurora - now, given what the Scourge can do, from your shoulder, imagine an Auroa size Railgun.

The possibilities are verry interesting.

'Gimp

if we are going to drink and drive .. we may be safe in a tank. hopefully...

 

[Thalstan]

what? @Stevetank has not responded?

 

[VFV]

squeeze it some more you need all the blood it can give you to buy more tanks!

I wish i was special enough to buy the tank! My wallet is ready

 

[GeneticPredator]

Ah that coloring book.... I mean Tank!

 

[Wolfy]

I'm really debating buying it when they put more info out...

 

[SeungRyul]

Not a fan of the design so I simply whipped up this crappy meme

 

[Bigcracker]

I have a strong feeling who ever designed this 'tank" is from Finland

Imo not needed, badly designed, and just why....

 

[Crymsan]

The finnish tank has no shot traps though and is at least designed to defend its nation this is just to raise funds.

 

[Talonsbane]

Perhaps the design & timing of the release of the Nova is meant to be nearly reminiscent of somebody giving the middle finger with the timing being in relation to the Cry-suit. Would be funny if CIG makes more money off of the Nova sales than they end up losing to Cry in the end. Even more funny if the sale is a success & CIG wins the case. That would be like a double middle finger to Cry imo.

 

[Sethious]

There is so much crap in these packages I don't even know what all you get. fuck it, I'll just get one and figure it out later.
