All it needs now is a hull mounted mortar peering out next to the drivers compartment.

I'd also hate to have to point this out, but some of the parts of this tank are highly impractical. Twin-gun tanks don't work well, a gatling-type weapon is just not necessary and the box launcher is vulnerable, though that one's probably nothing more than a niggle. Many modern Gun-Launched Anti-Tank Guided Missiles are capable of engaging low-flying aircraft.

Agreed. Then again I'm the guy who thought up a 175 ton tank that is the MBT of a fic because speed doesn't cut as a defense mechanism anymore. It only has a 150mm coilgun, a duo of 12.7mm machineguns, a 12.7mm plasma pulse gun for active defense, and a secondary UVB-FEL cannon.

Looks like the additions would be a bit of a problem in Urban environments, but as an MBT this looks to be a real monster.

А если не секрет, объясните, зачем нужны те цепочки с грузиками сзади башни?
Reply
:iconthexhs:
Решение слизано с израильских Меркав. Как я понимаю, цепочки защищают от кумулятивной боевой части - она сдетонирует не при контакте с броней, а раньше, при контакте с цепочкой. И брони достигнет уже изрядно рассевшаяся и ослабленная кумулятивная струя.
Да, википедия подтверждает:

В нижней части кормы башни танка «Меркава Мк.2» по ее периметру подвешены металлические цепи с шариками. Они служат своего рода противокумулятивными экранами, предназначенными для уменьшения поражающего действия кумулятивных снарядов и ПТУР, так как боевые части последних срабатывают до встречи с основной броней танка.
