The great father of a family of tanks
« on: May 13, 2017, 01:59:32 PM »
I am planning on making a family of tanks with several variants becoming more modern as time goes by (but keeping the same overall look and philosophy after all it is for a Periphery world).

Right now, I worked on the great father, the first one and the Primitive one.

I have the choice between two different designs (one with a Tech Level of C and the other of D).
Let me know what you think.

Each chased the Ice Hellion, hunting it down.
All failed to match the predator's speed and grace.
Khan Cage smiled and said, "And that is how we shall be."

Frankly, either one is ok.  I might go for the BAR 7 one, then label the BAR 8 an upgrade (Tank, Tank-1A) before the next in the series enters production.

Even if a little more than the armour is upgraded  ;) this is a really good idea. Thanks.
