They already had a large amount of manned tanks and vehicles and decided it was cheaper just to crew them with droids instead of building new ones (or thats what I choose to believe).

>>30154976
Those tanks are actually originally used by humanoids, the Galactic trade federation had gotten a sizable amount of those tanks from a group, and rather than build brand new tanks, or refit, and reprogram some automated tank droids, they stuck those ones in there, since they already drove around those speeders. The speeders those droids originally used are probably the same sort of deal, though I don't have proof of that one, or reference of it off hand.

So yeah, they stole the tanks, and did not want to make new robots.

>>30156690
They manufacture the tanks, speeders, droids and everything cheap as shit for backwater planetary forces and PMCs. They make no dedicated droid tank because if you could afford droid tanks you wouldn't be shopping there anyway.
So at the start of ep.1 they have a shit-ton of cheap tanks, speeders, droids and even their battle transport doughnut things but are nearly bankrupt because turns out their droids are retarded, and no one with the kind of money to justify a tank force wants something that fucking cheap.

Just to illustrate how fucking cheap they are:
>The hatches have no locks.
>A police speeder's light turret can one shot one
>Without even hitting anything critical like the back or crew compartment.

depends all on where you fire it firstly, from the roof maybe, but not likely at all from the front or sides

Ignoring things like getting an appropriately powerful engine and enough armour to make this massive bullseye not get blown away by the first shot from anything, how practical would a baneblade actually be?

I'm guessing "not very".

What about land aircraft carriers?

>>30159090
Way easier and cheaper and more effective to just build smaller front line airfields as needed.

As for the baneblade, it's not that it wouldn't be an effective combat unit, but for the same cost and number of crew members, you could have two or three regular tanks which gives you much better tactical mobility, and in some ways better durability because if you take a serious hit that kills a tank, the other two can still work just fine. Take a decent hit on the baneblade and it could be disabled and then you have no tank. Not to mention the logistical nightmare of having that many different types of ammo

>>30159310
There is one good side to the Baneblade that I think you kind of overlook though, and that is that even if it is disabled, it can still essentially function as a small fortress, and therefore be used to anchor a frontline or force the enemy to divert troops from a main thrust.

But, yeah, generally, I would agree with you that a unit of Leman Russ tanks is better.

Always loved this one. Just for the ridiculousness of it. It kind of stands for the spirit of humanity in the setting I think.

>>30159383
Yeah, but I mean a regular size tank can still act that way to some extent. And trust me, even a baneblade is going to have its crew gtfo if something penetrates and causes shit tons of spalling and fires and whatever other alien shit that's also possible.

Obviously in the game it's perfectly fine, and even possibly better than multiple smaller tanks like a leman Russ, but I was trying to think more in terms of a country today making a sort of super heavy tank like that.

>>30159437

Tyranid Bio-Titans, Ork Stompas, Eldar Wraith Knights, Necron Monoliths and C'Tan.

Baneblades, Shadowswords, and their many variants mount super-heavy weapons for doomsday threats that Lemons cannons are not as effective against. Deploying super heavy tanks is often a strategic decision in the 40K universe when xbox HUEG threats are expected to be encountered, and Navy ships are not always on hand to provide orbital bombardments.

I don't, the devs of War Thunder do.

Why don't double barrel tanks exist? Surely it couldn't be that hard to implement?

>>30157931
That's because the cybran had nothing else. No mobile shields in supcom means you auto-lose every pitched battle, and slightly-above-average airforce can't compensate for that. Cybran either have to go all out and win in t1 or hide behind someone else and rush t3 like mad.

>>30166333
Right, but then you need two smaller guns compared to a single large one if you want it in a certain chassis, or you need a much bigger tank if you want two... let's say 90-120 mm guns. I remember reading somewhere that before the fall of the soviet union, there were speculation in western countries that to defeat the armor of future developed soviet tanks they would have to increase the caliber of their tanks to defeat it. I think it was from 120 mm guns to 140 mm guns (larger shell, more propellant, more energy or whatever the calculation was).

But then you had to create a larger turret, another loading system, increase the size of the hull, and the weight increase dramatically if you want to still have the same armor protection around the tank, and then you need a new engine to make up for the increased weight. So a 60 ton tank mounting a 120 mm would bloat to about 80 ton to mount a 140 mm gun. Just imagine how big a tank would get if you want two guns next to each other, or you have to mount smaller caliber guns that cant penetrate the target it was designed to take out.

tl;dr: there's a raisin two gun tanks doesn't exist.

>>30166011
>supreme commander requires way too much macro

I dont agree, id say that it needs less macro as you can controll all units/factorys of one type with the UI. Of course you will need more macro on larger maps, but there are maps available in the same size as those in C&C.

The eco system in SC consists of both mass and energy (unlike in C&C where its just money) and this is a bit more complex tho.

For reference of each nation's MBT:

Orange Star uses the Abrams, Blue Moon uses the IS-3, Green Earth uses the Strumtiger, Yellow Comet uses the KV-2, and Black Hole uses the AMX-50, though both Green Earth and Black Hole deviate a bit with the track layouts, with Green Earth's vehicle using the Char-B1's tracks while conversely Black Hole omits tracks entirely for high-tech hover tonk, while Orange Star/Blue Moon's tanks have less track wheels than their real counterparts.

It's also because in 40k the enemies of man aren't typically tankers. Even the Orks for all their guns and dakka dont' make good tankers.

As such the design of the tank is meant less for anti-tank warfare and more "how do we strap more guns on this thing" to fight monsters and beasts and aliens.

Hence the side cupola's for the machine guns.

Also isn't the Leman russ basically just supposed to be a Mark V tank but with a turret at the top and a medium gun at the front?
