X3!!!

AMBT?
Man it is overweight!

well, that's my design
it carries a GAU-8

Wow, very cool. A fast moving tank destroyer?

maybe.

DO A CHALLENGER 2 NEXT!

Tank of epic!

Your concept of the rocket-gun tank (or tank destroyer) looks good

Nice. Wouldn't the GAU-8 make it a gutsier relative of the VADS, though, and make a radome a good idea?

Radome is actually exposed, like on a ship. And it works like a land-based A-10

In which case a large-caliber autoloading cannon might be better if this is supposed to spend most of its life engaging ground targets...read up on the use of gatling guns by ground vehicles. While an A-10 can just fly away when it runs out of ammo, stuff on the ground isn't quite as lucky.

being almost as large as an M1, it carries way more rounds than a standard A10, almost twice that. Thanks to it's new armor that is even more resistant than laminant armor at 1/3 the thickness, most of the hull space contains the other necessities, leaving plenty of ammunition space in the core of the tank

Um, the A-10's ammunition drum is pretty big, and you can't forget the size of the linkless feed system. Even if you're dialing down the ROF when engaging ground targets with the autocannon, it poses a problem. Ammunition's only going to go in the turret bustle, since that keeps the crew from getting killed when a round cooks off.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T249_Vigilante Note the amount of ammunition and the amount of time it can fire at its maximum ROF. I guess that's the only comparable example...

well, i am thinking of a newer ammunition feed in order to utilize the forward sections of the tank as storage. it's supposed to have an omnidirectional feed.

Nice one.
