  1. The turret is pretty much Abrams-sized (a little shorter front to back, and a little shallower, but otherwise the same). The hatches are the same (guesstimated) size as an Abrams', and dimensioned so that I could fit in them comfortably.

    The hatches look small because A.) perspective isn't on, and B.) the hatches are way further apart than the Abrams's hatches, because there's a fucking 75mm autocannon between the commander and gunner.

    How does the feeding mechanism work on the autocannon?

  2. Base tower added:

    The turret was changed around to a unmanned cleft turret. Instead of a 30mm autocannon, a 40mm autocannon was added.

    For simplicity I named the gun AK-40 L82

     

    General gun info:

    Caliber: 40mm L82

    Breech design: Rotating breech

    RPM: 330

    Gun depression/elevation: -10/+90

     

    Ammuniton:

    Cartridge: 40x356mm

    Design: Caseless, telescopic

    Types: APFSDS-T (DU) and GPR.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  3. As others have noted, this is an intentional feature of the competition.

     

    I'd of course be very happy if you jumped in and had a go at solving the unsolveable :)

    That is what I am trying, lightweight above all pretty much, but still filling the requirements. 

     

    I did read the post, and I am doing a complete redesign of my vehicle.

  4. Welcome to the forum! Why does it have a German-sounding name?

    Thanks for the welcome.

     

     

    The name "Stormpanser" means something close to "Assault armor" when translated from Norwegian into English.

     

    And:

     

    Germanic languages:

    German: Panzer

    Swedish: Pansar

    Danish: Panser

    Norwegian: Panser

     

    "Panser" means armor, armored vehicle ect. "Storm" means here assault or attack.

     

    In Norway, IFVs are designated "Stormpanservogn"

  5. A prototype model of Stormpanser SP-1:

    Current model is used to figure out internal space, tracks are placeholder, but represents the actual width. The current vehicle is still in development. 

     

     

    Current idea:

    3 man IFV using several parts from the CV90, this includes tracks and engine. It shares the same turret ring diameter and the current model is supposed to be fitted with the Kongsberg MCT-30 unmanned turret modified with SPIKE ATGM launchers. 

     

     

    Estimated production model specifications:

     

    Mobility:

    Scania DSI 16, Deisel 800hp. 40hp/ton

    Weight: 20 ton

    Transmission: Hybrid electric 

    Top speed (both directions): 70km/h

    Track width: 500mm

    Suspension: Modified CV90 suspension, torsion bar.

    Ground clearance: 450mm

    Contact length divided by Center center is 1,15. 

     

     

    Armament:

    1 50mm autocannon

    1 7,62mm FN MAG co-axle mounted machine gun.

    1 Browning 12,7mm heavy machine gun in a RCWS (PROTECTOR RWS)

     

    Protection:

    Frontal arc: Resistant to >35mm AP Autocannon fire.

    Sides and back: Resistant to small arms fire and shrapnel.

    Roof: Resistant to artillery shrapnel.

    Belly: Resistant to 10kg blast mines. 

     

     

    The purpose of this vehicle is to be cheap, light, reliable and highly mobile. I may design a more advanced and radical vehicle later, but for now this design path will do.
