Design your own Ultimate WW2 Tank that the Allies could've used?
As well you can state what your WW2 tank would have looked like. For eg. I would have used Sloped armor from Russian T34 with a thickness of 100mm and 120mm Glacis plate, the hull would be cast in one piece using zirconium like AC Sentinel Tank, as would the turret, except for frontal armor and Glaces plate on turret which would be rolled flat plate with an outer layer of tungsten (my idea) welded in later. I would use a Russian style thick track/ wheels and German style Torsion bar suspension (not using inter lapping wheels, using more like Pershing Tank). I would use a developed 32 pounder or lengthened L/60 25 Pounder (87.6 mm) for my heavier tank and 17 pounder for medium tank, either size using M4 Sherman tanks Gyro Stabilization system and a coaxial Browning 7.62mm MG.. I would use a 2nd small turret (unmanned, Idea came from Hertzer Tank Destroyer) to mount a 20mm Hispano Mk.2 Auto cannon and one M1919 Browning MG, (using American Gyro stabilization system and sighting from Crusader AA Tanks) for AA defense or Ground support. My Heavy Tank would way around 45 to 50 T (My Tank would slightly resemble the Centurion Tank.) and Medium Tank would weigh between 30 and 35 T. I would use X3 Guiberson T-1020 Diesel engines running on common crank shaft or X2 Meteor engines for Heavy Tank (ideally I would use a V12 900 HP diesel engine made by Ford or G.M . I would use Merrit brown steering system and Tiller bar controls from Churchill Tank, with an 8 speed Manual Transmission. I would use Hydrological Turret traverse systems similar to Matilda Tank, no Hull gunner, Mk19 Wireless system. I would use a 5 man crew, Driver/ mechanic, Gunner, Loader, 2nd turret Commander/ Gunner and Loader/ Radio operator. I would have had good crew comforts like comfortable seats from auto industry and strips of padding for noise reduction and to stop bruses, Good Ammo storage, An American intercom system with rear phone line for infantry contact.What are your ideas for Your WW2 Allied Tank.
