This week, we again had a dispute with one of those ingenious mini-wind-power-plant-inventors and his partners in the tunnel (see explanation to previous post). Horrible, awful! So, here's something for the Militaerrorists: Personally to me, the only hot-looking German WW-II-tank is the the Jagdpanther ("Hunting Panther", SdKfz-173), followed by the standard Panther and King Tiger. I decided to combine the Jagdpanther with the extremely sloped turtle-like shape of the hull of the BT-SV (which was the last version of the BT-series and lead to the legendary T-34). Further, it is completed with some modern equipment such as radar and telecom antennas as well as cameras. Main weapon is to be a twin 105 mm long barrel canon "Destructomatic 2L105". To increase velocity of the shell and at the same time reduce size of cartridges, the barrels are too be evacuated after the round is inserted. The shell will easily break through the cover. A remotely controlled 7.65-mm twin machine gun is mounted on top for close combat. For defense of the rear hemisphere (when retreating) a small ball turret with 37 mm machine canon and another 7.62 mm machine gun, alternatively a 23 mm five barrel chain gun, in the rear wall of the fighting compartment. Two fists full of guided missiles on either side of the hull, named after the fingers, can be equipped with various warheads. Six observation slits equipped with optical squares, but a dozen of external cameras (plus one for infrared) are pairwise installed in housings that are bulletproof to a certain extend. It will take some time to shoot them all away because of their sheer number. Additionally, a tricopter UAV is placed on the main hatch that can autonomously fly around in order to deliver an outside view, maybe to inspect damages. For close-up: As power plant, Junkers opposing piston two stroke Diesel with 8 Pistons (like that one utilized by the T-64); 750 good old DIN-horse-powers may be enough, enhanced by an electrical booster unit, that is also starter and generator, connected by two clutches to the engine and the transmission, which means, the tank can also move silently without starting the main engine. The drum in the rear is a 320 liter external tank, space should be found for at least the same amount of internal fuel. A crew of three, driver, commander, gunner. If gunner and commander are busy in close combat, the driver may operate the main gun, coarsely aiming with the whole vehicle anyway. Military technology keeps being quite fascinating, even the ballistics of cannon balls, but what happens, when they hit their targets. BT-SV stands for fast tank - Stalin Voroshilov (what else), at last, both got their own tank type named KV and IS. The Wheelchairgeneral AutoCAD 2011 Corel Photopaint 7 Notepad
