This is one version of 3-4 versions of this basic tank design which mount different features based on the time period I set for them. So far there is a prototype version, an initial production version, and two versions with various upgrades. This is the latest version, which includes features which first appeared in the 90s (combat identification panels, commander’s independant thermal viewer, etc…). I anticipate making another version which features upgrades typical of 2000s main battle tanks, but I’ve not thought through exactly what I’d add.
This tank would feature a three-man crew with a belt autoloader like those in Type-90 and Leclerc. The main gun is a 55 caliber 120mm.
In the future, I plan on making the suspension system and a few other components look more realistic and less like placeholders. I will also move a few components around relating to correct crew positions in the tank.
Hopefully I will eventually get all versions side-by-side in one model once I’m satisfied with how they look.
