M.A.N. VK30.03 (Panther Tank Replica)

[astecarmyman]

Faced against overwhelmingly powerful opponents the M.A.N. Doctrine needed a tank that could combat

No need for screenies or anything, the real deal is here now...

First part of the video is done...

Also Bump

What's your name in WoT ?

[astecarmyman]

Why do you ask? But yeah I do play that. It's astecsminion

But that's not the reason I like building tanks in ksp.

Blowing things up.... Kerbal wars... Explosions...

[BSR]

You like Kerbal wars? Then take a look at this Youtube Series:

World War K already in Season 2! I recommend watching from the beginning.

[astecarmyman]

Yeah, I've seen it I personally think the cinematics are pretty cool, but I don't like that the series is so mod based as it doesn't allow the community to interact freely with the project. I was actually inspired by Macey Dean's (Now extinct) Naval Carrier series. Also I have the vid up now

Bump too.

[KotDemopan]

Intresting... It actually got me to fix a problem on a (modded) tank(that ill pretend was just decided to be made right now), ill probably post a thread about it.

[ndiver]

I asked because it was obvious you are also playing to WoT in addition to KSP based on the name

[astecarmyman]

Well, true... But in WoT this thing kinda sucks.

[xoknight]

Panther can bounce some shots but it just does not take hit's good.

[ndiver]

About the video, it is hilarious and the tank is really well designed (especially the low part)

If i can make a suggestion, you can make a variant looking like the AMX 13 SS11 with 4 small AT rockets : https://www.google.com/search?q=amx+13+ss11&tbm=isch

In WoT, both VK30.02DB and Panther are clearly good tanks. I really enjoyed both, really distinct playing style, meaning different roles in battle

[astecarmyman]

I think that the AMX 13 SS11 is do-able, as currently all tanks are glorified rocket spgs.

[KotDemopan]

It would be pretty intresting to see how you do the unique AMX 13 turret.

[astecarmyman]

I don't believe I will be able to get the turret correct, but oh well.

[astecarmyman]

Alright this thing is ugly.

KotDemoPan already destroyed this sad excuse for a tank

[KotDemopan]

How did i destroy something before knowing it exists, again?

IM A TIME TRAVELER!

Edit: you might as well rename this thread to "Astecarmyman's tanks and ground forces"

[astecarmyman]

I know right... Strange.... Yeah I probably will do that when I upload some more tanks

[KotDemopan]

You probably could make the soviet T-34-76(why the 76 instead of the 57 and 85? because the 57 got good armor penetration(hard to do in KSP) and the 85's turret would be a bit too hard to recreate compared to the 76 and 57's turrets), or a T-26

Edited May 24, 2014 by KotDemopan

[astecarmyman]

It looks like a T-34 so....

[KotDemopan]

I don't know why but i think it feels a little bit more like a combination of a T-26 and a T-34

Also, i forgot that this video is what caused me to make an engineless biplane like this one down below

And yes, those are RTGs in the back

Edit: maybe you could make an M4 Sherman or a Heavy tank

Edited May 25, 2014 by KotDemopan

[astecarmyman]

Maybe....

It's probably gonna look like a Sherman Jumbo tho.

[KotDemopan]

Well, a Sherman Jumbo is still a sherman. (maybe you could try 4-5 plate-thick armor in the front even)
