XMH.104 'Amber'
The XMH.104 was a cancelled heavy tank that was tested by the Royal Army. It has design features which does not match previous Royal Army tanks such as the low profile turret which vastly limited its gun depression and the pikenose hull.
Intended to serve as the RA's primary heavy/breakthrough tank, it lost to the XMH.103, which was superior to the .104 in almost every aspect.
It is armed with the GR.127/65A0 which was an excellent gun and was loaded with two piece ammunition. The frontal hull armor was 250mm thick, with the sides being 150mm. The turret armor ranged froom 127-350mm thick. It has a 12.7mm HMG which can be fired from the inside and a co-axial 7.62mm. It weighed 70 tons.

Ag.8=Gun Lock

Wanted to build a tank in this configuration. I think it came out pretty good though some parts are definitely lacking detail. Do enjoy.

@Sakorsky goodluck with your pike hull! Glad I could help :)
@UnguidedCylinder i see, thank you so much. I owe you one and I'll credit you when I successfully pull this off.
@Sakorsky ah it's been a while since I worked on pike hulls, but if I recall this is the first time I did it and it was a bit difficult to get it to work. My other tries is much more simpler, starting with the main hull and leaving the front last. I then use Fine Tuner to angle the Z or vertical axis of a plate of fuselage, then just using run and rise to slope it down and back to get that pike hull shape. You can see it much more clearly in with this one:

I forgot how to hyperlink, I haven't been in touch with SP for a while now.
@UnguidedCylinder I see, where do you start from usually?
@Sakorsky thank you! For the most part it takes a lot of careful nudging and angling using Fine Tuner. I've done it with some other vehicles as well so its easy to get the hang of it
How did you make the pike hull? It looks incredible.
This tank is a BLAST
@Blin1 Baron Bunny welcomes you
HOW DID I MISSED THIS POST?
Aaaaaaaaaaa lmao
Don’t worry, mole tank isn’t real, mole tank can’t hurt you.
@TheLurkingVexedVortex it do be weird at first, but I got used to it
Very nice, but this weird turret control is on the weird side :\ but the tank is still great :)
Giving me some serious T-10M vibes
