A Heavy tank armed with a 120mm smooth bore gun, a hull mounted 90mm gun, and two 100mm thermobaric turret busters (missiles). The tank is armed with composite armor plates, giving it a higher survival rate against shaped explosives, SABOTS, and directed energy weapons. Also, the top of the tank is completely covered with composite plates to give it extra protection against mortars, anti-tank missiles, and any other tank killing ordnance. The tank is outfitted with automatic loaders, and can carry up to 15 120mm shells, and 10 90mm shells.

The two missiles located in the turret has vent systems leading to the sides, saving space, and making it possible to fire them while inside the turret. The missile pods are located left to the gun. Moreover, the missiles specifically target the tops of turrets using TANDEM warheads with thermobaric cores to pacify crewmen, and ignite ammunition.

Using state of the art electro magnetic perpetual engines, this heavy tank can cruise at a steady 50 MPH and engage targets up to a mile away. Although the tank does not produce excess amount of heat through this new engine, the engine does tamper with radio communication devices within a small radius, a double edged sword.

This is a pretty solid entry; though that SPG might need some fine tuning in terms of design. Feels a little hodgepodge and misshapen compared to the rest of the gang as is.

Also dang I forgot how pretty those kashyyyk guys are.

I'm probably going to put treads on the SPG, and also give it a bigger gun. You're right that it does feel bulky, I just don't have the pieces yet. :\ The only thing I don't like about those guys are that they have such bulky helmets, you think they would look better with BRICKARMS black combat helmets?

But thank you.

That first overview pic could be of better quality. Fix that?
Second, you should design a truck to tow the artillery gun instead of using the tank for that, assuming you have the bricks for that
Third, there's a big empty space between the bottom and the top of the treads, so you could at least put some plating there to better protect the tank,
and make it look better.

Everywhere else, that tank is fantastic.
The mini-tanks also look great.
Now, you should put some work in your infantry.
The soldiers look good, the only thing that's missing is some more officers (because every brikwars faction should have at least 1 hero and a couple of advisors/assistants for said hero, according to me)
and more specialists like:
-CC Specialist
-Grenadier
-Heavy weapons specialist (with a bazooka
-Minigun
(Adding any of these would make the final result much nicer (and more :belushi:, since I assume this army is still a WIP))

When I get back home next week, I'll take a better picture with them in better poses. Not going to lie, I thought no one would notice that gap in the tank, damn... I can't find any 1x1 gray bricks for those so for the time being, you and I have to suffer. But you're right, I mean all my vehicles can tow, I just figure for the time being it would make sense for the heaviest thing to tow it (I'll work on that 2 ton truck!).

The CO's suppose to be the hero, and the medical civilians are attached to him. But I was thinking maybe a reporting crew attached to the CO.

If I added black combat helmets and combat vests (brickarms), will it make the troops look better?

I don't usually say this about Peach factions, But this is some really nice stuff, and the tank is perfection.

I like the tankettes, the idea to build them and the way you created them. The other vehicles look good too. The main vehicle I would rebuild would be the SPG. In my opinoin, it seems too boxy and tall to me.

The I would have the technical haul the 120mm Artillery Gun instead of the tank. Then, the ARTY crew would be with their artillery piece. Where did you hear about the term ARTY crew? We called them gun bunnies in the U.S. military.

I've seen ARTY used, at least on the Guard side. Though I've also heard gun bunny or handsome devil (Field Artillery Guy).

Your force is pretty cool, though I'd replace the trooper's clone helmets with something more unique. Even a head and helmet swap will really help to individualize your guys.

I think I found the perfect one:

Nice. The vehicles look boxy and solidly built. I especially like the Artillery Gun.

Is the assault tank too boxy?
