This is a vehicle that looks Awesome But Impractical. The armor looks too thin, the front apparently has a unarmored viewport... Still, great idea. With a few modifications, it could be a epic AFV.

Indeed with a few modifictiantions and a lttle bit of tweeking. This would be a superb armored fighting vehicle.

Really great desigh, would like to see one in action.
One question, or comment, really - the crew compartment side doors looks a bit too thin, would be a weak spot. From what I can see of the of the interior there, its not used space so this doors can easily by much thicker and not hinder the crew or take free interior space in any way.

Hmm... It wouldn't really transport many infantry.

Would be nice if the underside of the hull resembled a V, to deflect explosive force from mines and improvised explosives.

This was modeled in Sketchup?
Nice.
Really dig the design.

Looks a lot like the Grizzly amphibian the Canadian Forces use. VERY stylish too

This one looks like it could be produced right now.
And it looks great. Want one!

I'll order one.
Do they come in metallic dark purple, or black with flame decals?
Also how much for a CD player, and a personalised number plate, and fuzzy dice hanging above the windscreen?

Этот лист в феврале 2015 года был сделан.
Мне тут кстати материалы и не нравятся. Думаю на выходных ещё лист сделать, с другой цветовой схемой\более адекватными ракурсами.

Ого, времени много прошло.
Сделай, будет интересно глянуть.
Ты на ЖЖ забил уже? будешь туда дублировать?

Да почему ж забыл. Я там в последние лет 5 всегда редко писал(после того как там фидбек нулевой стал, желания част описать приуменьшилось). У меня есть своеобразные традиционные даты для постов. Допустим скоро будет ДР, там и пост созреет.

Понимаю тебя.
У меня схожая тема)
Но пост с приключением компьютера мне понравился.

One of your best. The days of tracks are coming to an end as they are far more complex to built and maintain as well as a nightmare to repair in the field. Recent advances in Kevlar reinforced tires and auto-inflation systems plus the ability to lose an entire wheel or multiples depending on the arrangement means that they can continue to be mobile where a tracked vehicle would become a bunker.
My only criticism would be in the lack of lower angle sloping forward and lateral armor profile which would add great defensive power.
Still a good practical design.

What we are seeing right now in terms of tracked versus wheeled is that wheeled technology finally is catching up to standard, resulting in a balancing of tracked and wheeled vehicles. however tracked vehicles have a lot of advantages over wheels especially when it concerns weight distribution, and terrain mobillity and traversing angles (with higher weight load), but since a lot of military dont have the budget for large and heavy equipment, low weight wheeled equipment are favourable right now. Most vehicles above 20 tonnes will keep us ing tracks, advancement s in tracks might not be that far off either.

All good points but I would direct your attentions to the M1128 MGS, M1129 MC & M1134 ATGM Stryker variants which provide faster, more mobile and more cost effective artillery, artillery support and anti-tanks capabilities. I was in Kuwait when the first M1128's arrived and though it was clear that in a direct engagement they would likely suffer a severe disadvantage due to a lack of equal defensive armor they could continue to maneuver long after incapacitating the Abrams.
I disagree with you position on future track advances since other than strengthening their composition and increasing their footprint to allow larger vehicles they have nearly reached their limits and suffer from an insurmountable mechanical weakness, tread segment connectors. Snap one and the words no tank commander ever wants to hear are said, 'sire we're off the track'. One must utterly destroy THREE wheel on a single side to disable a Stryker or turn it over. Yes tracks do have advantages but other than building behemoths I, and many in the defense community, see their role as fading save for such special applications though I admit they will likely be around for a long time.
Thanks for the nice response.

For the moment every design goes really, while "tanks" have had their best days in ww2/cold war, we're pretty much in an interim period between major wars where true advancements are made, a period where none of the major powers are duking it out in an advanced style war testing every design and piece of equipment to their absolute limit. current conflicts between major and lesser and often ill equipped powers allow for designs that will not hold up when put against equal or better opponents.
Wheels are great, and tracks have a lot of isseus, there are however plenty of reasons to choose tracks over wheels, theres a lot pf factors that decide what type will be used, the biggest one is the opponent however, and i hope we wont witness a ww3 (or 4 if you count the war on terror as 3) in our lifetimes but the only 'good' designs are pure warbred designs (or just after), made for the moment and breaking limits. What we have now is good, but nothing really pushes limits like actual war designs, you may argue but... We havent seen true gruesome warfare abd its rapid technological advancements like a ww can only make happen and i hope it stays that way, untill then its up to what you/militaries favor in their lineups, not really what they 'need'.
Ah well, just my 2 cents...
Agree or disagree, i dont really care ☺
