How to give your tank gun depression: literally lift the entire thing

This is my favorite cold war tank. It was so innovative for what it was. It was really more of a tank destroyer than an MBT, as it was meant to fight Soviet tanks from ambush positions. After it fired its 105mm gun, it had a driver facing backwards to drive it out of position. Then, the forward facing driver would fire up the gas turbine and scoot to its next ambush position.

To think that this tank is several decades old yet several decades ahead of our time. It was built to minimize crew, with a capacity for three, the commander doubling as the main gunner, and the radioman/loader as its reverse driver, it could go backwards just as fast forwards. Absolutely ingenious design. The upper hull angle was so great it could defeat incoming shells with sheer angle instead of thickness. This thing is mindblowing.

If one more person calls it a "tank destroyer" I swear to god

-Sweden, probably

[newtube]

Wether you like it or not that is one hell of a piece of engineering and thinking outside of the box.

Ole: Hey, Sven?
Sven: Ya, Ole?
Ole: What if instead of aiming a gun in the turret, we just aim the tank?
Sven: ...Ya.

Imagine driving down the highway and seeing a tank rolling around

It’s amazing of how much intelligence is consumed by humans to create amazing machines so that they can kill each other.

*hits blunt*
- _"yoo what if we just make the tank itself depressss.."_
_"whoa"_

Countries around the world: *use a piece of wood to keep a door open.*


Sweden: *designs a tank for keeping a door open.*

[endoanimations]

It’s a very compact, manoeuvrable and adaptive design. I love it.
