Concept: NF Tank Destroyer

That shit is too big, scale down the width by 15~20%ish.
Height's okay.

 

I kind of like the big look, gives it a big hit box and if you see one from a distance there is NO mistaking it for what it is with that big gun. If I was in a heavy, I'd turn the other way and run or try to find an alternate route to try and flank.

 

That is SO not the way tank destroyers are supposed to work IRL, but alright, carry on.

 

Well, considering TD"s arent used in modern day combat, at least often, of course that isn't how they work. TD's towards the end of WW2 were HUGE as fuck, had a big gun, and tank drivers going up against them expected to die because their fronts were almost impenetrable so they would have to flank...

The Jagdtiger, Elephant, and Jagdpanther were all end of WW2 tank destroyers that were huge and absolutely deadly.

 

That statement is actually not true for the Jagdpanther and Jagdpanther 2. You had to lay ambushes with those and stay hidden. And even for the other two there are numerous reports of crews that used Jagdpanthers before being switched to Ferdinands (Elephant) or Jagdtigers and still using the same tactics being far more useful in combat and actually not loosing their vehicle in contrast to crews that came from other models like the Marder 2. Look up what the Marder 2 looked like. It's pretty understandable, that your crew suddenly feels invincible if they are allowed to drive around in a Jagdtiger.

And you are not entirely correct. Tank Destroyers are still used in modern combat. You just don't see any casemate tank destroyers anymore. The B1 Centauro for example can be classified as a tank destroyer.

 

It really really looks pointlessly huge.

 

Make it as fat as the BE heavy. BTW look how tiny its cannons are, so kewt.

 

Yes but it is very close to today's tanks. I mean just look at the Leopard 2 or the Abrams. Most of the length of their guns are internal to the turret.

 

They are not thick enough for it to be a 105mm let alone 120mm of modern main tanks, and the barrel is just a tube. NF is even worse. BE heavy looks like a german style AA. They could be two chainguns.

Leaving these here because I randomly found them a while back and they are awesome.

To me, the BE Heavy looks like a modernized Tiger H1. Looking at it in game from behind and from the front it just gives off that vibe.

 

BE heavy is probably half its height

 

Looks good, looks armored and ready for warfare. Perhaps maybe elongating it a tad or would that be a no no?
