That's a self-propelled artillery gun. Not a tank.

You're right.
The wraith is armed with a plasma mortar. Not a cannon.

Scorpion is a real tank, although a strangely designed on I might add.
(Plus it uses a 90mm gun, why? 120 is way better.)

This Scorpion tank?

It's a British light tank from the cold war during the 1970s. Armed with a small 76mm gun, later upgraded to 90mm gun.

oh now that I look at your post

I believe you haven't experienced a player using a ISU against you, this thing is so ridiculous.

it's more of a who-hits-first wins

but if it hits you, 100% chance of death

if you didnt die, it ricocheted or missed.


This Scorpion tank?
No this one.

For being such an odd an beefy design, I am pretty sure it would be able to fit a 120mm gun comfortably.

Also having such a strange layout is a huge waste of space, especially considering it needs to be carried by fricken spaceships. The less space it takes up the better. It would've benefited much more by being a casemate style assault gun, or a tank with a rear mounted turret and limited traverse.

There is a wraith "tank" variant in one of the books I read. It was a frontal nose mounted plasma cannon that shot a 4 foot plasma bolt at 60mph. Obviously if you saw that thing ways away you'd probably have enough time to get away on foot or behind the wheel of a warthog.

Speaking of such. Why is the covenant so loving stupid about their military stuff like lets be honest here they're so inefficient.
They have guns, no not even guns, plasma launchers that fire slower than the weaponry of their enemy, humanity, who has just breeched planetary colonization....
They send in 4-foot aliens who rely on methane to even loving walk. There vehicles consist of wonky 1 seaters who have plasma rifles strapped to the front. The heavy armor itself consists primarily of a mortar and a walking 4 legged colonization of worms.

Aliens are weird.




Who can't forget this beautiful Beast?


I'm just curious but does anyone here do models

(not 3d but handmade)

WARGAMING FAKES: THE HAPPENING or WORLD OF FAKES THE GAME
These tanks never existed aside from being thought of. Such as the Jpz E-100. Even though the idea of putting a big gun on an E-100 frame was an idea formed by those goofy national socialist's, the war was so close to ending that it was a idea not worth putting any time into. Especially when the E-100 only had one frame in existence at the time as well (iirc)

Jagdpanzer E-100

The design of it is completely made up by Wargaming. The more "historically accepted" fake design something that looked closer to a Jagdpanzer 38t or Jagdpanzer IV, with a huge casemate where the gun was mounted on the front. (The only problem with this was that the gun would be way too heavy, and would put too much stress on the front suspension.)

E-50M

Pretty much completely made up by Wargaming, loosely based on the E-Series tanks the Germans wanted to make after the war in order to have them all similar in design and complexity in order to keep reliability high and part supply high as well. Although none of them, sans the E-100 were even started at all.

FV215b and FV215b (183)

It's was a cancelled projected that never really made it off the drawing board. The FV215b was planned, but nothing about it ever existed, except for the idea of mounting a 183mm gun to contest against soviet heavy tanks of the time, even then, the 120mm gun it mounts in game never existed at all.

T28 Casemate

It never existed. It's a T95 with slightly less armour for game reasons, and one less pair of tracks.

T28 """Prototype"""

It's fake.
The farthest the design got was this

and afaik even it's debatable whether it's even a real design.

Waffentrager E-100

Similar to the Jagdpanzer E-100, it was an idea that never made it onto paper, like at all.
While the Waffentrager Pz IV and Rheinmetall borsig designs were slightly historical as those designs were all about making high powered gun carriers. (although as it stood, they were more similar to SPGs that didn't carry any bullets, if I'm recalling correctly), but this one is completely made up. (Aside from the 128mm gun autoloader. That is the only thing that existed in real life.)

i wish i were kidding but these are actual tanks

^yes thats a jet engine
That is true. It was designed for clearing mines.
It was also horribly inefficient, both in fuel usage and in effectiveness. Plus the T-34 frame couldn't hold the weight very well.


^yes its a bridge
No, that's not a bridge. It's an early design of "tank" that was meant to cross large trenches on revolving rails.

^yes its a tank
No, that's not a tank by technical terms.
