Good point. If we have need of a massive gun for bunker-busting, we can figure out a way of making our 320mm mobile instead of designing a new gun

[Funk]

The 320mm gun is 70 tons, not to far from the Battle Bus's total weight, so say 6
 Advanced Diesel Engines to move it.

if we push the Battle Bus chassis and transmission to the max, they should just about take the load, mount the gun on a trailer so only single torque bus is need, and in a pinch we can tow it between a few badgers or k-1's.     

[tryrar]

More likely we'd have to invent an even more powerful engine to move something THAT heavy(or rail mount it)

[Brood]

You could take the easier option and design a special shell with a smaller size so you don't need such a big gun.

[Taricus]

I think it'll be near impossible to mount the 320mm cannon onto the Battlebus hull and still have it as a mobile gun. We may have an adequate hull for it, but that's still in development...

[tryrar]

...Taricus, just give up already. Nobody wants to pursue that tank chassis that's better than a panther at this time. It just isn't feasible

[Brood]

Actually I like the tank chasis the same way I like Mesors idea to get synthetic materials, if we start early we get it earlier then anybody else.

[tryrar]

..Problem is Nadaka basically rejected syth materials when he assigned an engineer to the task and said "not possible at this time". Same with this tank chassis

That approach has one "little" problem...

We have
tank chassis lvl1
tank chassis Lvl2
We develop tank chassis Lvl5

While enemy:
Tank chassis lvl1
Tank chassis lvl2
Develops tank chassis LVL 3 and fields them while we have nothing to counter them
Develops tank chassis LVL 4 and fields them while we only start to build first runs of our LVL 5 tanks
And then developls LVL5 tank chassis later than we do but his LVL5 is better, because experience from LVL 4 and LVL 3 counts

[Brood]

He said not possible without a metal expert because that engineer was already in use.

If one had been spare it would of gone through, and that all depends on luck our engineers could have a stroke of genius and build a mega tank chasis right off the bat, I like that kind of risk-reward thing.

The metal expert was for the part or the proposal related to alloys.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

BTW, what the hell Mesor meant by synthetic metals?

[Taricus]

I don't intend to make an improvement tank design UR, I intend to make our nown version of the T-34. That is, a complete game-changer for armoured warfare.

[Brood]

I think he meant it as a general term for any form of non natural metal so things like steel or bronze that are a mix of more then 1 metal or any other form of metal that requires something thats not natural to be done to it to create it.

[tryrar]

dude. You're throwing good money after bad. This is the same mega argument we had in the LAST thread. BIGGER ISN'T ALWAYS BETTER. It's better to start smaller, THEN work your way up.

As a matter of fact, next time this thing is proposed, I'm gonna counter it with this:

K-1 Modernization. Upgrade all current K-1s to the K-1B standard, which include replacing all current engines with two 400kw diesels, and an upgraded turret mounting an HVG-80 modified for tank warfare, as well as bolting on extra armor plates on the front and sides

If Capia has anything that will bounce an HVG-80 we're utterly fucked, which is why I'm confused as to why you insist on a 78mm that'll take 5 years to field(and a tank chassis that will take 10)
