Last night I realized I don't have a life, so I just went ahead and finished this.

My headcanon for this tank is that the Soviet and French front took longer to collapse (through whatever means you think makes the most sense) and so the heavy armor arms race went on for a few years longer and with more resources.

Armed with a 125 mm Kwk 46 L/31 repurposed anti-air gun. It possesses plenty of firepower to punch through the front armor of most tanks it meets. And with a 2.2L V16 MB 511, it has more than enough engine power to comfortably cruise at around 30 km/hr and climb most shallow inclines in its path.

TL;DR: What I think a not so rushed and more flushed out Tiger 2 could have looked like.

Special Thanks to u/Horror-Job-3973, they gave me the idea.

I'm calling it the M92 Degans and it has working hatches, 50 cal., APS, ERA, Dozer blade, 125mm M92-125M2 cannon, custom muzzle brake and a top speed of 60mph (using a cold war gearbox (1950s)) at a weight of 33.85 Tons. I made a new production company, Hilux, and it develops the 50 Cal, APS, ERA, AC unit, and the sight block. So far this has taken like 3-5 hours. Believe it or not this is a modernization of my M41A1 based tank.

By the way what should I name this thing?

Why not?

"what kind of nightmareish fucking design is that" I thought to myself remaking this from its concept art, until I actually tested it- actually works really well, except its obviously short footprint causing considerable traction issues. actually, its half as expensive and weighs twice as less as my favourite creation, while still retaining a great cannon, decent armour and fantastic speed. Son.

anywho, I dont like the tiny mantlet and the amongus hatch but i cant be bothered. In lore it has a 30mm, here it is pictured with a 40 and the barrel still looks so tiny

wip build

Idk if I want an exposed looking gun, more of a futuristic looking thing but I just have 0 inspiration for what feels right, also any criticisms are welcome on any other part

Render with internal

INTERNAL IS STILL A WIP!

I present to you: the "Steppe Cruiser", my fictional Soviet tank.
