AMH.36M3 Ogre
Credits to MOPCKOE_DNISHE for the tracks mod, a fantastic mod indeed.
The Ogre is a heavy tank based on the AMH.35 Golem(Imagine the chassis with side skirts and turret heavily inspired by the Chieftain).
It's main design feature is the oscillating turret housing a 152mm smoothbore gun. It was initially designed as a prototype to test the new smoothbore gun and to look into oscillating turrets for the Royal Army. It was later redesigned and put into mass production, starting off with 200 units, and later 1,300 as decommissioned Golems were upgraded with Ogre turrets.
The Ogres, though classified as heavy tanks due to their size, weight, and armor(although the oscillating turret has its weaknesses), they are assigned with tank destroyer and fire support roles. The Ogre is able to achieve 20 rounds per minute with its bustle autoloader. There is 20 rounds in the ready rack and 12 more scattered around the tank. Crews would be instructed to only carry 20 for safety, and depending on the mission, 20 rounds of APFSDS for anti tank roles, or 20 rounds of HESH or HEAT for fire support roles. Some tanks may have a mix of all three.
For secondary armament, the Ogre is fitted with a co-axial .50 machine gun which also acts as a ranging machine gun(although ofc in SP, it just fires straight). The loader/radio operator is given a 7.62mm machine gun, and the commander is given a .50 caliber. Both machine guns are manually operated.
AMH.36M3
The M3 variant is an upgrade kit given to Ogres operating in the Wildrew Desert. Slat and chain armor is given to the rear to protect the thinly armored bustle, as the frontal arc of the turret is believed to have sufficient thickness against the threats in the area. Two additional .50 caliber machine guns and a 7.62 is mounted on top of the turret, mostly used for intimidation. Ogres assigned there usually take on anti tank roles, sniping targets hundreds of meters away.
They are later retired upon the arrival of the Thunderstorm II SPG, which can provide both indirect and direct fire support.

Simple oscillating turret tank. Due to reasons, several plans have changed which forced me in a builder's block, so I just built something new to calm my mind. College is approaching for me so I'll be gone for a while. But since I'm not highly active in the site, it won't make a difference. Enjoy the tank

Looks like a t57
OGRES HAVE LAYERS
So this is more or less an AMX-50 B with a squished hull, modern optics, and the AMERICA machine gun treatment. I like it
ok
