So I was just sitting around being a moron like usual and thought up this abomination.

How practical is this design for a heavy tank between 1939 and 1941? Why wasn't there a tank with a turret like this back then? They seemed to try all sorts of wacky shit at the time.

Okay i'll admit this is some pretty high grade autism.

I'm aware, but could you please give me some feedback

That picture is autism incarnate.

But otherwise I think you would have shit internal space
>>
>>33938602
I considered the space issue, but I looked at soviet tank design and didn't think it would be too huge a problem if they could make their tanks work.

>Armor too heavy
Didn't the Tiger II have heavier armor?
>would slow down the tank extremely
I intended it to be theoretically paired with a heavy tank chassis and power plant so this didn't seem like a problem.
>>
>>33938622
It is less than ideal. They dumped the tiny T34 turret as soon as possible IIRC. Look at T34-85 for a more reasonable internal dimensions.
>>
>>33938814
I was referring more to things like the T-55, T-72 and such.

Someone already thought about that.

Since the whole point of it is making slopes for the sake of sloping armor, you have to give it a low profile, but to do that you would have to decrease the heigh of the whole structure, resulting in a fixed gun, and now that everything is at the same level, why don't you simply add a very smooth slope in the front and be done with it?

Then you have this next french amphious tank...

So as you can see, "sloped autism" has been a thing since WWI and seems to be still going on. Maybe we will stop when we just put tracks on pyramids or something.
>>
>>33938943
I never have seen anyone say the name of that tank and image search doesn't come up with anything useful, would you be so kind as to tell me?
>>
>>33938877
Which are dome shaped, not triangular. Very different internal volume considerations
>>
A circle is the most efficient shape for having as much volume as possible for a given perimeter.
