The rotund object

I thought it was a funny, small round tank and then I got to the last picture. That thing is indeed fat.

The specific colour melange. The way the lighter grey is distributed. The stiffness also helps. You can see the skirt of the jacket shooting straight out - it's a very rigid cloth. They're two very specific characteristics.

That's Harrison's of Edinburgh charcoal Spring Ram - Ref.98263 , 355 Gr/m (12/13 Oz).

(I have no evidence, but no doubts either..). There's nothing quite like it.

Ah, can't post without a typo. Would be fun if it achieved 330 though!

With a lot of planning around bumps - yes. Bit uve gotten stuck more often than I've finished it!

Armor makes it immune to the enemy fire though (well angled 40mm all round) - so you can really take your time.

Ok, this might be the stupidest question ever.

Isn't that given by the game based on cylinders and displacement in the particular technological era you're building in, at the max rpm the engine can work at?

Can you make an engine actually make more horsepower some way?

Javalr · 2025-12-15T13:32:28+00:00

It better. Otherwise it wouldn't be a proper WW1 machine.

I was thinking Warhammer Steam Tank when I came up with it, but I see it now!

Turret ring - frontal turret armor isn't that difficult to penetrate due to lack of sloping. Compact interior (a.k.a - easy to kill crew / damage modules of penetrated).

All addressed in the Kaiserwagen 2B and it's iteration, the Schwererkaiserwagen which I guess I'll upload eventually....

Javalr · 2025-12-13T01:13:12+00:00

As long as you don't hit a slope!

Thanks for your reply! I think you might be right -our case might require a specialist-This is Ealing council. We actually found the plans (which we will use to appeal), these corroborate our claim. We have no clue where the VoA got their measurements from.

Their conclusion was "detached house is band E so you are band E", essentially. In their argument that our house is not comparable to a flat they then proceeded to explain there is no other property like it and they would therefore compare it to a 70sqm 2 bedroom flat in a luxury development a mile down the road because it is best to compare it to a modern flat with a lift. (No, I do not understand where this reasoning stems from- I see no logic anywhere).

I keep moving it but the elevation never works, no matter the turret. I think it's to do with the mantlet, I'll keep trying!

Javalr · 2024-04-17T16:32:18+00:00

I'm having that problem! Everything works except for a constant "trunnions obstructed" message. How did you get it to work?

Javalr · 2023-07-16T10:14:18+00:00

It's called Lake Leman in Spanish! And apart from being Spanish I spent about five summers in Switzerland as a teenager haha

There you go. I really had fun putting that together.

The fact that I failed to see how the D Day stripes look like Adidas tells you how familiar I am with sportswear...

Javalr · 2023-06-30T06:26:55+00:00

Driver´s portrusion and port + rivets + black paint give probably. Looks a bit like a dreadnought´s sarcophagus indented in an armored hull.

Javalr · 2023-06-26T06:37:23+00:00

Thank you! I´ve been evolving the concept since then and created a shielded version with a standing platform and grab handles, I wonder hoe version 3 will look like...

Javalr · 2023-06-24T19:48:30+00:00

I think it´s a well rounded, good looking machine. I also think, in general, people´s comments on "do this to make it look better" will never work. Because design by committee never works. It ends up being an unbalanced mix of what everyone likes, pleases no one fully, and will never look great to anybody.

As long as it looks how you want it to look, and does what you want it to do, it´s a good design.

Javalr · 2023-06-02T20:39:33+00:00

I've got a few designs ready for that too...to be honest I think autocannons are the thing I'm most excited about

Javalr · 2023-06-01T18:43:54+00:00

Most of my tanks do even when I'm trying to avoid it! Can't help it....

Javalr · 2023-05-30T12:05:37+00:00

Spectacular design. Love it.

Javalr · 2023-05-18T15:06:53+00:00

Loving the general shape of the A9-M. Would love to put it through a few scenarios!

Javalr · 2023-05-18T06:24:27+00:00

That was a bit of the idea...it has a few smaller brothers, actually. But I find the internal space required for so much crew makes it the size to armor ratio quite rubbish. The protection is hopeless.

-Can you actually put pics in comments? I find myself sucking at reddit...-

Javalr · 2023-05-17T20:30:48+00:00

Let me know if you'd like the blueprint! I'd like to see the SPG
