I have the over the top and the rear view finished. The back one doesn't really show the whole vehicle, just the back of the tank/turret.

What really irks me is the fact that my style is very sketchy and focuses more on shape/form than small mechanical detail, so it's very vague and loose in parts.

That's fine, as long as you have the general shape and function there I'll improvise whatever needs to be improvised to make it work, I tend to do that quite often.

This is great! As soon as you have everything posted I'll get to work

There's a good reason why tanks don't have a grill like a car, the frontal armour tends to be the part most likely to get shot at, and grills are not that great for stopping tanks shells and RPG's

damn straight. Grills are terrible at stopping shots, doesn't mean that we don't lurv them anyway

btw grobut brings up a good point, what kind of role is intended for this tank?

1R0NH4R\/35T · Jun 18, 2008

I have the 3/4 front one finished, and I have the rear view done. I'm almost done with the over the top view.

I hope the rear section is enough to help you out; it's missing the right track segment.

Mr.CrackPot · Jun 18, 2008

oh yeah thats fantastic, just waiting on the side and top now. So I've been doing some research and basically these light tanks are infantry support it seems; is that how this tank functions?

1R0NH4R\/35T · Jun 18, 2008

Yeah, that's the idea. I kinda like Grobut's idea of having both anti-vehicular and anti-infantry weaponry.

Mr.CrackPot · Jun 18, 2008

yeah, something more aimed towards "light" vehicles; something more like a *dum* *dum* *dum* *dum* type of firing. For the infantry, the cannon can shoot a large bore flak projectile, also decent against flying vehicles! very nice

Like a flack canon but a tank version
how more anti anything can you get?
great for surface to air aswell

*thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* .... BOOM! ... Mayday mayday we are going down!

just imagine how it could shred through players on foot ... nasty

1R0NH4R\/35T · Jun 18, 2008

So, a monster flak cannon on a super-mobile tank platform.
Sounds good to me... but how about a name?

Vitamin-Carrot · Jun 18, 2008

Captain Caveman! I think thats an awesome name!

or

how about This Is Not A Chrysler! or T.I.N.A.C for short or Taticle Infantry & Node Assault Carrier .... i was stuck on the 'C'

Mr.CrackPot · Jun 19, 2008

to be fair I was thinking of something like a machine cannon primary (as suggested by grobut) designed to attack low armour vehicles while the secondary was a slow-firing monster flak intended to take out people and flying vehicles unforunate enough to fly close enough to get hit

it's really upto ironharvest, this is his baby; the fire mode's whatever you like buddy

as for a name... something along the lines of shredder light tank?

Leonardo · Jun 19, 2008

Gunhed Series Mark IV or the GSM IV ? Becuase after closer examination and watching the live action movie I have to say it looks more like a Gunhed to me.

I kinda like the idea of the name ending in 'er' or 'or' or whatever. I'm trying to think of a way to make P.W.N.Z.O.R. into an acronym.

Mr.CrackPot · Jun 19, 2008

lol pwnzor, I say you go for the 2 weeks tank

Vitamin-Carrot · Jun 20, 2008

Trogdor?

LtClifff · Jun 20, 2008

David!

(david and goliath)

Leonardo · Jun 20, 2008

Oh if you're gonna do up a partner for the tank? I request a APC......

1R0NH4R\/35T · Jun 20, 2008

I'm kinda liking Amarok.
According to wikipedia, it's a gigantic wolf in Inuit mythology that hunts down anyone foolish enough to hunt alone at night. That seems like a good name for an anti-infantry vehicle in my opinion.

Mr.CrackPot · Jun 20, 2008

or Am-a-rock

har dee har har get it? Ok I'll stop.
Yeah It's pretty good, I like it. And again as soon as you're ready I'm good to go.

AH HA!!!! .... it is also the name of a fairly ok KDE based media player

but it sounds nice
maybe it could have its own cloaking device ... Axon took note from their enemies tech and tried to replicate it? o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Possibly; they were going to include a vehicle like that in the first place.
