Pamerian Main Battle Tank: 'Eithelfeld' Rev.A

Description

For more details on this tank before the revision, go here [link].

I decided, thanks to helpful criticism, to remodel the Eithelfeld and fix some of the problems suggested. Firstly, this design is slightly smaller with less rounds but a larger engine. I also completely redesigned the turret to have more sloped armor and to accommodate a 45cm gap between the cannons, which I have reduced to 160mm. This decrease in cannon size shouldn't change its supremacy on the battlefield, however, and it should still destroy most targets in a single blow. The doubling of the rotary gun caliber was actually a correction of my earlier design as I mistakenly measured radius instead of diameter. This also caused my weight measurement to be off... *sigh*.

Aside from that, I also included the typical urban deployment payload, 20000 14.5mm rounds, and 51 160mm tank rounds (18 LRP, 18 HE, 9 HESH and 3 Cannister). The rounds each weigh between 26-30 kg(57-66 lbs) (I feel sorry for the loader).

I found the 2d soldier here [link] but re-did the textures. The rest is my own design.

Let me know what you think, but hopefully nothing requiring another redesign :P (just kidding, that's the reason why I upload here :)).

The main problem with 2-barreled tank is that you are putting two VERY expensive eggs into one basket.
Does a two barrel tank really have a rate of fire difference advantage over a 1 barrel?
Additionally, you have twice as much maintenance, loading time and double the dust kick up for a small percentage of increase of firepower and accuracy going to the same place anyways.
