Another interesting piece. Whoever designed that tank needs to be fired, however. That spike on the front would get it stuck in a tranch - even without damage to the tracks.

Never will be) BTW if you see the other drawing - you can see same rostrum on tank too

Yes. Looks like a built-in plow. But then, such mistakes have been made in our real history as well. Just think of Little Willie. It had a similar problem.

Hah) But is not the human history) This is not even the Earth. And principles of war and using these machines are totally different to WW1 tanks.

I figured as much. Yet I would guess that physics still work the same way. I mean, if gravity is significantly lower, they could get away with such things, but the usefulness I just can't see.

"...To begin with, Elvatriss has no such thing as a "tank". In their language, this concept sounds like "Rottoxlinter Socal'tartum". Difficult, yes. Let's start, they don’t have the concept of a “caterpillar,” they say - the butterfly larva. Therefore, the caterpillar in their tongue is a plate chain. And the tank in their language, respectively - chain-driven armored vehicle.

Elvatriss has a specific attitude towards these machines. Due to the fact that the fleet did not have strong positions, most of these traditions were tied to the "tanks". Each tank is essentially a unique building and often bears its own name. We will also talk here about how important the fortresses are for Elvatriss in their chivalrous worldview, but the tank for them is a small fortress that can move. A true stronghold on the battlefield, not just a unit.

You see the ram. Ramming a tank would seem like a stupid idea, but not for Elvatriss. Their tanks are truly huge. Their weight reaches 400 tons and they are driven by the most powerful steam engines. Why do I want to compare ships? Because ramming battleships in the era of steam engines was a perfectly normal solution.

But how? Just suddenly ... But the tanks are made of wood. Yes, like the battleships of the American Civil War. Iron is just a thin shell, under which there are thick oak beams. Therefore, when one tank rams another - its purpose is to push the armor plates by ram and damage the steam engine, without which the tank is stationary.

This tank is a transitional model of the middle of the Great War of the Wheels. He still has a ram, but his cannons do not fire round cores. It was the Northern Kingdom that was the first to decide that it was much more effective to pierce armor from afar with a quick shell from a rifled gun than to crushing the flanks with hundreds of salvos with heavy cores. But this tank damaged its caterpillar and the Confederate soldiers are ready to bring down the second..."

I see. First of all, thank you for giving me a bit of insight into your worldbuilding. Secondly, that's an interesting idea, to basically have ships on land.

Yes it is more landships than "tanks"

Wait until they see the Bob Semple.
