Tankita

[ysi_maniac]

I found this page a long time ago. While not very well organized, it is interesting to read it. In fact I would subscribe many of its points. But I see it a little biased in other points.

What do you think? Does any of you know the author?

Lots of interesting things going on there but two issues arise. One is how well such vehicles would stand up to IEDs (Phil is on the right track with the "keeled" hull but, for side blast, his Tankita would need to carry the extra weight of AMAP or similar engergy-absorbing armour).

Also, why not update the suspension concept a bit with a shortened CV90 or Puma hull? I'm dubious about the value of still using M113 components (in reality I mean, M113 bits would be ideal for modelling).
