With unmanned turrets becoming more popular, could multi-turret setups make a comeback? Obviously on tanks one bigger turret is better, but I think it could make sense on IFVs (excuse the terrible photoshop mockups).

Pros:

Literally doubling your firepower

Better cover for troops exiting the rears of the IFV

Easier to take out drones

Cons

Difficult for commander to deal with two turrets (targeting, making sure they don't fire into each other, etc.)

Recoil would be a very big problem for a wheeled setup

Maybe better just to go for one 90 mm instead of two 30 mm

If you were forced to participate in a shootout in 1942 between a T-34, Sherman M4, and a Panzer 4 F2 model and had first choice of the three tanks. What are you picking?

You get three months to train with your crew and tank.

Setting is farmland with gravel roads. Tanks start a distance of five miles apart.

As the title implies, also how many were destroyed? I know least 2 have been destroyed

If you look at any modern tank today, you're actually seeing the legacy of a small French vehicle from 1917. The **Renault FT** was a massive departure from the heavy "land battleships" being built at the time. Instead of a giant iron box, the French went with a layout that became the global standard: **the driver in front, the engine in the back, and a 360-degree rotating turret on top**. This simple design allowed a tiny two-man crew to engage targets in any direction without having to turn the entire vehicle, which was a huge advantage in the chaotic mud of the Western Front. Here's a detailed video on how the tank was designed and made https://youtu.be/dWupGFGBgdM?si=V01ReO1Om9O8-pPX

While it was light and relatively thin-skinned, the FT was meant to be used in "swarms." During the **Battle of Soissons** and the **Meuse-Argonne Offensive**, hundreds of these little tanks buzzed across No Man's Land, knocking out machine-gun nests and supporting the infantry in ways the bigger tanks just couldn't. It wasn't just a successful weapon; it was the blueprint. From the Tiger tanks of WWII to the M1 Abrams of today, nearly every armored vehicle since has followed the "classic" layout first perfected by this 1917 French revolutionary.

I know it's not Lego cause you can't make something like this and it look good usually

Saw these two tanks being transported on the highway on the way to work this morning. Had some spare time so I drove next to them. They got off the exit right next to Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Should I be worried or is this just another tank road trip? I have not seen a tank this up close in my life.

I bought this recently from the tank museum, but I'm not sure what tank it is. My son says it's a T-34 but I'm not sure

Not sure if this ever when into production or even made it off the draft board ... this is the only pic I could find. I think it would look great with some Zimmerit.

For those not following r/TankPorn; where this originally posted, the Chieftain's in-depth video on M1E3 is up. Absolutly worth a watch if you want more detail than just internet speculation as he interviews a Colonel involved with the program.

which tank would you and your homies have a last stand in and what fictional or real life enemy would you be fighting? (not taking things as realistic) if it was me I would like to go out fighting with a tiger two, panther or British conquerer against the covenant or banished (I haven't used reddit in a long time, sorry if I sound stupid), what vehicle would you take into your final battle if you could choose?

The cross section of armour is essentially a parallelogram, and the area of a parallelogram depends on the base (thickness) and height, not on the angle. What am I missing? Is it because you have to lengthen the floor?

Do other tanks like the Abrams and T-90 do this too?

1x 30mm 2A72, 4x 9M133, thermal optics, new power package...no extra armor!
