A couple more.  Hmm, combine driver & gunner jobs ?

Don't know why they circled the muzzle-brake, the frontal shield seems like a good idea.

Such artist's impressions generated solely from written descriptions are always better than reality  ;D

One that I just found ... a "1940s tank" from stablediffusion.com. Ignore the odd perspective on the gun barrel and that period-accurate 1940s remote weapon station. Instead, admire the originality of the suspension and track layout!

Note the front and back drive sprockets with teeth only on half of the sprockets' surface (which must be a fuel-savings mod). Those sprockets also seem to be supported from below by frame extension arms. So, no transmission or other drive system gubbins to add needless weight and complexity  :smiley:

Other tank designers seems obsessed with putting the return rollers up high. No such timidity for Stable Diffusion. Here, the rollers are low and neatly tucked in between the road wheels for ease of access.

Presumably also for ease of access, the spare track sections are pre-assembled and laid on top of the road wheels. I'm not clear how that spare track won't be catapulted off the vehicle as soon as it moves ... but, clearly, it involves some very clever engineering  8)
