PANZER MK Vand a keg of beer.

Image

The Mk V, also colloquially known as a Gustav is the latest Bavarian tank. Each flank is protected by a steel dress and a size four gun.

Image

Here is the Gustav with guns folded in and her dress taken off.

Image

As you can see beer, the front of the Mk V has three grenade launchers and a flamethrower. Enough to take care of the most dedicated infrantry.

Image

Her main gun has a built in druid system, which not only adds accuracy but shows all the friendly, neutral and hostile units on a battlefield.

Image

She can fit four men inside her, but with effort more can squeeze in. The most common arrangement is 3 pilots and one gunner, but 3 gunners and 1 pilot is also popular.

Actually one of my favorite tanks. I don't like the iron skirt though. It has obvious purpose in battle but it detracts from the look of the tank. It also looks really fragile IRL

Hell yes. New turret makes the tank look awesome.

I'm not 100% sure, but it looks to me like those treads could be brought in a tad.

For the first time, I kind of wish I hadn't deleted all of silva's early posts, so I could link to the early Silvarian vehicles for comparison. But I still remember them. Pretty amazing difference.

What I meant was that the treads are sticking out a little too much for my taste. I feel that bringing them in would make the tank look sleeker.

That looks like it would require ripping the entire thing apart. I would suggest just extending the joint for the side skirts outward so that they drape straight down the side instead of at an angle. Unless that's what you were going for, in which case I approve.

Still, this is impressive. I'm surprised you were able to pull off the shape with only basic slopes. And that dual machine gun is cool as hell.

New Guns!

Image

These are the new BK-3 handheld railguns. They have a secondary fire mode, which fires a small tracker at the target. The tracker gives bonuses to hit.

Image

This is a gun I have no name or stats for.

Image

The heavy heavy bolter. For when your opponents are especially deadly.

Panzer Drone Schnittrenne

Image

The Schnittrenne is a computerized tankette meant for anti-armour support, named for it's gun. Schnitt and trenne are the German words for cut and sever, and the main gun is a size five blastgun.

Image

In addition, it's armed with two size one guns and two Mk I missiles, in case the main gun breaks.

Image

Image

Here is Bavaria's minister of war, Direktor Boermann standing next to the trustworthy drone.

Image

And here is big Brother Gustav. Together with the Dreadnut, they are an unstoppable team.
