Tanks for the memories, guys!
(I'll get my coat..)
>>13747589
This is a nice thread you got here. Would be a shame if something... terrifying happened to it.
>>13747599
/m/ (occasionally) admires the aesthetics. /k/ just wanks factory numbers on the back of the packaging.
>>13747599
Tanks and planes are welcome for being proto-/m/ like trains, as long as those who stir up shit come and ruin fun for everyone.
Considering /m/'s current condition,the latter happens the most.
YAY!

Macross, Orguss, Mospeada, Gundam, are you all even trying?
>>13747980
But Orguss does that too.
So does Macross, if you count the Monster as a walking tank.
>>13747980
Why does he even need a tank mode when he has fighter mode?
He couldn't TRANSHOME his superheavy cannon into a simple arm-mounted affair in bipedal form?

Those are Magrider hovertanks from Planetside 2, they are the largest and most powerful land-based buttplugs developed by the Vanu Sovereignty.
>>13747599
This thread is for pretty tanks.
>>13747984
I thought Monster was meant more for indirect shelling?
That would make it artillery, if so.
It's not the most /m/ series in the world, but Battalion Wars has really neat tank designs.

Make way please. Cutest Tank coming thru...
Superior fucking tank incoming. (1/2)

Is it really a tank when it's on wheels instead of treads?

A tank that runs up to people, bends over them, and stabs them. Why? Because Japan.

Picture fucking related.
They also fucked up the pelican to make it a lazy space HinD. That shit was iconic. 343 a shit.
>>13752963
god i know its mainly the fact that i am training for mechanical design, but holy fuck i hate how much cluttered shit the 4/5 suits are. Like how do you take something so relatively well balanced and just over complicate it soooo much.
>>13752980
To be fair in vidya there's a graphics pushing agenda, and what better way to show off rendering power than to greeble your geometry up?
Not enough detail and people might accuse it of being low poly garbage.
>>13752981
>Not enough detail and people might accuse it of being low poly garbage.
I hate that sort of mentality. Developers ought to use the extra polys to round out what details that are already there, like butts.
>>13752981
That's not entirely true. Though that presently exists for fps's, there is such a thing as elegance. The idea being that a simple refined concept with well executed detail provides a straightforward and aesthetically pleasing design. MGS does this in spades every re-incarnation is a little more complex but Yoji Shinkawa knows how to wonderfully balance the aspects of his designs. 343 is just Lazy/clumsy/stupid enough to put the time in.

>>13752997
But will they be able to tank even harder with them?
>>13752996
That's because Kojima is autismal about verisimilitude and period accurateness.
this tank was as invincible as gorg was

I'm tellin you, man, just be like me and pretend Halo died at Reach, and is now memorialized in sometimes good merch
>>13753545
Have another.
>>13753215
I love it but it's still the most retarded idea in 0079. Close behind is the infantry carrier thing that doesn't actually protect you and G-Armor/G-Bull/G-Sky.

Battalion Wars does have a lot of awesome vehicle desings. My dream is new one coming out on the WiiU.
>>13753613
motorcycle battleships is a pretty novel combination
>>13751838
Ok real quick, I know Thunderbolt is its own timeline branch of the OYW. Also that fighting between both sides continue well into UC 0080.
So do events that happened in "Proper" OYW still go down and if not how big of differences are we talking about here?
>>13751007

Don't forget how they were fucking invincible.

You Tank skanks are pathetic.
>>13754787
The war still ends at A Bao A Qu. Everything after that is mopping up remnants who don't want to stop fighting as well as a group that wants to secede from the Earth Federation
>>13755521
Wheels and treads are infinitely more efficient than legs
>>13758474
you can't use the phrase 'infinitely' and be taken seriously unless you're talking about mathematics, physics, or photography.
>>13748739
That's a wrong ananlogy on a board where anime like macross and votoms are staple.

that episode of igloo 2 might be one of the best things to come out of gundam
>>13752963
I like how, after the original trilogy, they kept the Pelican, not being able to decide whether it should be a fuckoff gunship or an unarmed carrier, while changing flavors of support fighters in every game.
And I'm still waiting for them to cough out a Covie MBT. Were it not for that armor thicker than even Halsey's skin, the Wraith would be a mere support mortar vehicle.

I don't know much about tanks anon. Was the crew not in danger here?

Holy shit, another BW fan.

>Nintendo giving a fuck about the Wars series
Face it, it's best to leave the Wars series dead unless you really really enjoy FE-levels of waifu pandering and shit. Wouldn't put it pass them to just even just copy-paste the gameplay.
How would a mecha fare against this?
>>13760007
Well as Codename STEAM ostensibly proved, no waifu no buy.
Arguably the best game of 2015 no one played, and it dies due to not being anime.
>>13753536
Nah mate, it looks like only the TC made it out of there. That and staying in a fucking tank with its ammorack blown? I don't give a fuck about blast doors or blowout panels, the fucking SOP is to god damn get the fuck out of the vehicle if it's been hit like that. Never mind you'll eventually suffocate if you stay in there when the fire-extinguishing system kicks in.
>>13759985
Yes, they were very much in danger, regardless of blast doors and blowout panels. Granted, they won't be insta-gibbed like with a Soviet tank getting hit in the ammorack.
>>13760008
Like any other AFV, it either has the defenses to survive/defeat the HEAT round or it doesn't.
'Sup pussies
>>13760140
How does one change their direction with such a vehicle?
>>13760150
you see the face of the guy sitting on it? He´s asking himself the exact same question the moment this picture was taken. He probably worked at least a year on this prototype, just to realize how much he fucked up. Now he doesn´t know if the other guys watching him already realized what he realized and is wondering how to get out of this situation without losing his face in the engineering community for all times. That is the face of true despair.
>>13760150
lean??
>>13760150
That's a vehicle for men with set prospects, not for pussies who need to skid around things.
>>13760150
I still could not imagine how it turns.
>>13760313
Well there's the Hyanide concept from about a decade ago that as far as I can tell has the ability to rotate its principle "wheels" thanks to designing the links of its caterpillar track so that they can flex laterally.
But for the Tractorcycle it apparently just slides the track around laterally. Someone who studies bike mechanics could probably explain it in proper physics terms.
>>13760472
Also come to think of it it's probably similar to the physics of a unicycle.
But with wide turns.
Anyway combination of changing the angle of the track and leaning towards whatever direction it points should yield the turn or whatever.
>>13760313
Badly.
So basically sell it to the Russians and to Patton and any other WW2 faction that's heading straight for Berlin anyway.
>>13760150
>How does one change their direction with such a vehicle?
WHAT A COWARDLY QUESTION
ONE DOES NOT NEED TURN
THE FACTORY DOORS OPEN OUT SUCH THAT THE TANK IS ALREADY DIRECTED STRAIGHT TOWARD BERLIN
ON TO BERLIN!
URAAAAAA
This thread man. RIP ps2 art direction. What could've been
>Because the best thing the allied nations could come up with was a metal box with one shot each for its cannons and powered by the engine of a RC car
It will literally never see combat unless you build it on a frontline factory three squares away from the nearest enemy.
In comparison, Neotank is fucking based.
>>13761777
This reminds me of the kind of bullshit I tend to pull with my tank in VC2.
Can HappyAPC join? He would love to. They call him a personnel carrier, but in truth, he carries happiness and comfort to the battlefield.

Oh god, that quote. I can scarcely believe he survived the war.

If they'd focused on that rather than a MC who's priorities go like t would have been 1000x better.
Instead we got.

>OH FUCK STOP THE FUN BUS!
>If i cut the strap i may brush against her sideboob ever so slightly.
>I MUST STOP AND RECONSIDER MY PLAN OF ACTION!
I really wish the MC's of Heavy Object wernt that bad but then again it's from the same guy who did Raildex so what can you do.
I see land ships have arrived, so land carriers can't far behind.
