I'm having a little trouble in deciding which looks the best for the co-axial postion and would like your thoughts.

A)  



B)  


Many thanks

In position "A", the gunner is going to have a hard time aiming at anything to the left of the tank. In "B", he'll have a better field of view.

I did something similar with a Gatling gun.

What will the main armament be? The E-10 is rather small, IIRC, so the placement of the main gun should probably determine where this secondary MG will be put.
Cheers,
Moritz

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Hi
as you can see the sight is next to the MG, which will be the main armament and as the cases come out of the gun on the right then the gunner will sit on the left towards the centre of the vehicle

So no further hull-mounted ordnance? Then put it in position B. :thumbsup:

Just the MG as she'll be a ARV  ;D

I vote A, the gunner and the driver would have more space to work.
ARV? Doors on the roof, little crane? Sounds interesting.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards A as well, I'll see as the project goes on, got some more parts to add before I decide for sure.  ;D

Think B would make it easier to reload and increase the field of fire.

I'm still not set on the postion so I'll build some of the interior and see how it goes.

The belt on a MG-34 feds in from the left side so the waste case bag would be on the right next to the side bulkhead.  ;D

Here's three pics of the second E.10 I'm on with this time test fitting a 10.5cm assault gun as the main armament.
