Is that a sphere…going around the tank? O.o
It’s a power shield.
A tuttle with a gun…. OMG it’s a light tank .
Next it will be a BBQ with a scrimp on the turret :)
(PS: I am a Kiwi, so an ANZAC, and allowed to say this lol)
I hear that kiwi males have an unusual interest in their sheep.
(PS: I am a Siema, so i am not allowed to say such things but i will do it anywhay lol)
I don’t believe you’re a Kiwi because you’d write Prawn not scrimp or Shrimp as it is correctly spelt.
I really hope that circle / sphere is just to show gun arcs… please tell me that’s what it is…
Jeno : I don’t so. ‘Bubble Tank’. lol
Bubble Buttank
Nope, it’s really a bubble.
But… why xD Seriously who would ever take this seriously? One would think even the designer meant this as a joke?
dem bounces…amx 40 is jealous
The kind of tank i expected to see in Spaceballs.
Just like the soviets, we had a very eager to help population, who submitted many hairbrained ideas.
Looks like the Leonardo Da Vinci tank. :-)
If that bubble was also put into a spin that would increase the effective armour thickness by “(armour thickness x speed of rotation) – bullet speed“ I know, a wacko idea but the premise is sound.
