Manticore tank collection
The K wagon seeing it's the real life huge tank of WWI was armed with 4 77mm guns. So I now designed really derpy Manticores that have multiple turrets, and a dumb amount of weapons, and I love it. The Manticore Mk-4 was reliable, had a top speed of 14 mph, and had a 57mm gun that was more accurate, faster to reload, held more ammo, and was less cumbersome giving it an edge over 75mm equipped tanks, and it could pierce their armor, and kill them just as well. It also had sprung suspension, an advantage I never mentioned much. BUT THATS NOT INTERESTING ENOUGH XD, So I made land battleships because bigger guns = better to some people even though it's a terrible concept.
The Manticore Mk-2 has a top speed of 20 mph, and is armed with a 77mm long barreled howitzer. The Mk-5 is protected by 20mm of frontal armor, and 15mm of side armor, and has a crew of 4, plus artillerymen. This tank is basically a mobile howitzer, and can shell targets up to 10,700 meters away. It's lighter armor, and larger engine makes it faster, although not nimble, it is also slowed down by mud, and it's older design gave it a few mechanical problems that was sorted out in later tanks. It also is slow to turn given the fact it was based off of a trench crossing tank.
The Manticore Mk-3 has a top speed of 15 mph, and is armed with a 77mm gun, 2 40mm guns, and 6 machine guns. Its designed as an infantry support vehicle. The Mk-3 is protected by 32mm of frontal armor, and 22mm of side armor, and has a crew of 10. This reliable design is still in service for infantry support, as it's cheaper to produce, and can be classified as a mere large tank. It is also the only tank that can carry infantry (up to 5 additional soldiers)
The Manticore Mk-4 has a top speed of 9 mph, and is armed with a 77mm gun, a turret mounted 57mm gun, 2 40mm guns, and 5, to 6 machine guns. The Mk-4 is protected by 45mm, to 50mm of frontal armor depending on the situation, and 30mm of side armor, and has a crew of 14. This tank is considered by most to be statistically one of the best tanks on Terra as it possesses a more reliable gun than a clucky 77, and can cross trenches while other foreign tanks cannot.
The Manticore Mk-5 has a top speed of 8 mph, and is armed with a 77 turret mounted gun, a 77mm casemate gun, 2 40mm guns, and 9 machine guns including a coaxle mounted one in each turret. this gives it a heavy arsenal of overlapping machine gun fire. The Mk-5 is protected by 60mm of frontal armor, and 25mm of side armor, and has a crew of 20.
The weight of the armor, and additional turret slowed down the tank by a bit, it is only semi practical due to its speed.
The Manticore Mk-6, also known in development under the codename project X-b0x1 has a top speed of 6 mph, and armed with 2 turreted 77mm main guns, 2 side sponsons mounted 77mm guns, 2 40mm guns, and 8 machine guns. The Mk-6 is protected by 50mm of armor in the front, and sides, and has a crew of 25. The heaviest armor, and armament a tank could get, it's slightly slower than a K wagon, and even with its extended body tends to get bogged down in muddy conditions. It has been deemed impractical by most military officials, and is only planned for parades. I still plan on making the Mk-4 over the clunky designs for reasons of reliability, and practicality. I'm not done making dumb tanks yet though.
