Extra info

Main Battle Tanks

Main battle tanks are multi-purpose tanks that emerged at the beginning of the cold war.

Further reading:

Wikipedia

Tank destroyers

Tank destroyers are tanks that are designed for the sole purpose of annihilating other tanks. They don't have much armour and thus can move fairly quickly. They usually do not have a turret.

Further reading:

Wikipedia

Heavy

Heavy tanks have the most armour of all tanks. They are intended to fight on the frontline and take all the damage. That makes them very slow.

Further reading:

Wikipedia

Medium/Light

Medium and light tanks have less armour than heavies which makes them suitable for reconnaissance. They are quite fast and have small cannons which usually cannot penetrate a heavy tank's armour.

Wiki light

Wiki medium

Have Fun! If the deadline stresses you out, take a break, do some other stuff, play world of tanks to get inspiration.

    @Tankistrus37 Yes, you can build as many as you want, but only the one with the most points can get a prize

    @necroganz Well you download this thing, you'll only see a cockpit. Then you build your tank around that thing.

    The problem is, you've built the tank before downloading the cockpit, so you'll need to save your tank (without the current cockpit) as a subassembly. Then you download the challenge cockpit, and put the new subassembly tank under it.

    To answer your question about the vodka, I don't know either. But I think you'd get those 69 bonus points if you put a vodka bottle on your tank.

    @AircraftExperimental that was just an example; ideally, one would visit a tank museum and see the tanks for themselves

    @MrGreen is playing War Thunder prohibited for inspiration, because it says that only world of tanks is playable for inspiration

    I'm working on a new project, I just need to apply the damage system to the turret, but I don't think I'll be able to complete it in time, I'll post in the next challenge.

    I can't do the screenshot thing because I'm on android.

    @MrGreen I want to ask one more thing, does Super MBT counted? for example like having weight about 90 Tons, and almost big as maus (probably bigger) with cannon larger than 120mm but the max speed are 61km/h, or should it counted as Heavy Tank?
