Plans are typically given as a series of profiles (in x and y) that get faired into an entire hull, so I think lofting is the way to go

StuG III Thread (and also other German vehicles I guess)

Only 5 degrees of protection for the welded leo 1 turret? That's very narrow, M60 and chieftain were +/- 22.5 degrees IIRC -

Huh, I figured they'd assemble the array as a unit then bolt the whole thing to the hull. Wiring up all the hydrophones must be a pain. I hadn't noticed the casing on the keel before, odd. We should be able to see torpedo tubes from that view as well, I wonder when they're fitted during construction?

2018 ZhuHai Air show thread but it's all tonks and munitions

For island's you'd be better off with an amphibious IFV, they'll both swim to shore - I'll be amazing if it gets beyond mountain troops -

The Argentine navy held a press conference, with ROV pics of the vessel: http://gacetamarinera.com.ar/informaron-acerca-de-la-identificacion-fehaciente-del-submarino-ara-san-juan/ 900 metres down, and right next to where the acoustic anomaly was detected by the CTBTO - she's been hidden right where we thought she was all this time.

Good point, I hadn't thought of mountains -

You'd have to be pretty light for that to be the best you can get - it's possible to air-drop something with actual armour, and wheeled IFVs are a thing now -

Good timing, they had just passed the original contracted search time (so probably got to ask for more money) https://news.usni.org/2018/11/15/after-a-year-search-for-missing-argentine-submarine-continues -

A ~10kg ATGM is a lot more mobile (and probably cheaper unless you're dealing with dozens of targets), and something like a small recoilless rifle will be cheaper and lighter. It is cute, but I can't see any problem it's particularly good at solving -

There's some work looking at self-assembling 3d printed structures (that start off printed as one shape, then transform into the final shape) that's been called 4d. It'd be a pretty neat gun design that made use of it

Bring back the rams! Kuznetzov managed to beat up a dock, so she'd totally be good for close combat. -

Some kind of APS-proof tank destroyer to take out IFV's & bigger tanks from the rear? I'm not sure what it provides that a butt-load of ATGM's (for equal weight as the 40mm & ammo) wouldn't -
