I have done what I wanted, I have been researching tanks, especially heavy tanks and tanks with multi turrets, I have found some projects that were done in the 1930's, by the look of it it seems like there was many problems with many things, such as the engine was not powerful enough, the tank was too heavy, poor maneuvrability... The research for the tanks seems to be a bit harder than I thought it would be, so far I have only found one book that its useful, the rest of it its small website that are blog related without references, so ones are not useful at all as anybody could write on them.
I have started doing a bluperint for the tank, I have two ideas, but I was talking with Gregory and Alison and they meantioned that its not worth it to do two different tanks as the skills requiered are the same for both...so I will do only one tank...whether is multi turret or has a bigger canon and more machines guns around I have not idea yet...but I have to start thinking about it, as far as I have read and understood, it seems that since the 1940's, tanks have evolved a lot, but not the design, all of them still quite similar to the panzer from World War II, so I do not think that I will make a massive change, it seems like this kind of technology changes slowly, I will add smaller canons ontop of the back of the turret, I was thinking that a good way to protect the back of the tank would be to use a big block of armour for the back, I think I will go ahead with this idea.
Next week I will try to finish the research for the tank, but I may add some more later on, for now I want to focus on what I want the tank to have, and I think I have a good idea of what I will design.
Week 4
