Main Battle Tank Contest
A tank is perhaps one of the most powerful war machines to grace the planet. Coming in virtually all shapes and sizes, these machines are the core of an army's spearhead. Your task, if you choose to accept, will be to build one of these things. In the description, describe the armor, armament, weight, speed, and weaponry. I will rate it based on practicality and predicted combat effectiveness, as I am assured all of you will probably make some sort of oversized superweapon. The main gun can consist either of an oversized modded wing gun, a rocket pod, or in this case, a bomb launcher. It must be able to kill the bridge. There are plenty of tank weapons that you can graft onto your machine. All entries must be successors. No, you may not copy this tank. If you are wondering, this tank is a fully-operational M3A2 Avenger. Basically an M6A1 Ardent turret plopped onto the hull of an M3A1 Avenger tank. You can figure out the controls because I will not doubt your intelligence. Yes, you will receive one of my famous reports. Yes, it must be fictional. Yes, there will be a winner, based on said factors. Roll out! (pls no sue me Wargaming)
Deadline is August 11th. All entries will be judged against my tanks, namely the M6A5 Ardent and M5A5 Victoria.

I know you just have an attention span of a ADHD gold fish. You said that last part first, and the you was an I. @Pilotmario
@PINK Forthcoming. I haven't even finished the Revolver Reports.
Reports? @Pilotmario
Okay, I did kinda hope that you would make one...@Liquidfox
What is it, you said that is your first tank, implying that you would make a successor and enter the challenge normaly. @Liquidfox
4 hours until dead line. @Liquidfox
finished mine! uploading in a few hours
@Pilotmario forgot about those parts...
@CODENAMEBOB Okay. Just make sure it can do things like cross a bridge, not sink in the mud, and can actually be fixed in the field.
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! PREPARE TO FEEL THE WRATH OF THE ÜBER TANK PROJEKT!!!
Joining just for fun...

Roll out! (pls no sue me Wargaming)
Dont forget Toei animation, Tomy and even Hasbro
We found it in my house when we moved in, it was of surprisingly good quality. @Pilotmario
True. It is public domain as it was designed by the Paternian Army Arsenal. @PINK
Ways.......a lot of them........and no we aren't illegally producing the design. @Pilotmario
@PINK Sounds good!
Wait, how'd you get a stainless Mk 1? We never made any form stainless steel.
@AccipitrisEnterprises Sure!
@Pilotmario Permission to use the Cmdr's hatch and MG on the build?
I have a stainless MK 1, on my person.....and a RSA in my office junk drawer. @Pilotmario
@PINK If you're worried about that, a Carlton 2-632, a Rocker Service Ace, a Mk 1 (I will do a remaster), or a Rocker PX-1 are pretty nice choices.
They're not exactly the most accurate or well-built guns, but they work well, they're cheap, and they're intuitive to use and maintain. These are the kinds of guns you can leave in a ditch for a few years, let several years of soil, dust, and mud coat it, take it out, and then shoot it without issue.
Yay! I won't get murdered by a HAC executive! @Pilotmario
@PINK You (and anyone) can submit any number of entries.
