A quick Google search suggests that T-72M4 CZ seems to be powered by a de-rated version (1000 hp from 1200 hp) of the engine used by Challenger 2......

No idea on why a de-rated version.

This blog claims that the British were at one point actually in discussion on producing an improved T-34 and KV-1 in their factories.

Whether the story is true or not, it certainly could make for some interesting whiffs!

Hello there~ (speech tone of a car salesman)

So~ what can I do to put you (FV 4004 Conway turret) on this ride (British-produced KV-5)?

(I couldn't find any good line drawing for the Stage 1 turret even though I think that the 120mm gun is good enough; the 183mm-gun Stage 2 turret seems even bigger than the stock KV-5 turret......)

Or should I maybe just be content with a gun swap in the original turret?

Quick mod for BMD-1 : on wheels and Gatling :)

IT-130 is a less known and curious project.

The T72 converted to a movie Pz III or IV is an awesome idea! I'm filing that away as inspiration for my alt-WW II not-Germany setting.

Love the wheeled BMD too!

Soviet armour '46: the IS tank family

Some proposals:

Tank proposals are all shooting bullseyes.

Below The Turret Ring: New T-64 version with unmanned turret in the making?

Is it just me or does that look like a 21st century Conqueror turret?

Cheers,

Logan

Meanwhile in North Korea, Songun-ho MBT (see attachment).

Believed to still be based on Ch'ŏnma-ho (and by extension T-62) but moving ever closer to a T-72-like configuration. This one is apparently armed with a 125mm gun that is actually a variant of the 2A46 (previous 125mm gun used by late-model Ch'ŏnma-ho and P'okp'ung-ho tanks are apparently a 2A20 clone bored out and modified to accept two-piece 125mm ammunitions).

The specimen shown in the second picture is armed with a twin missile launcher for North Korean copy of 9M133 ATGM.

An idea in light of this.

The Conway turret looks kind of "self-contained"...... is it, though?

dy031101 · « **Reply #162 on:** August 23, 2016, 01:41:55 AM »

The so-called "T-72 Khorramshahr", which is said to be an Iranian development combining an Ukrainian-designed T-80UD/T-84 turret with a T-72 hull.

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #163 on:** August 27, 2016, 04:02:23 AM »

New one (I think):

Tiran (T-55) with DF30 122mm howitzer:

More photos here.

I have previously heard of (and indeed, have a kit of) the T-34 with DF30 (see below) but this is the first time I have seen a T-55 derivative that is similar.

Just when I was desperately trying to put a 120mm gun on an Anglocized KV-5, I found these KV-4 proposals (yes, I see even less possibility of the KV-4 getting Anglocized than the KV-5, but hey, 45mm gun compared to 7.62/7.92mm MG- Rule of Cute according to me

......):

Something you don't see too often: South Korean T-80U:

Would be interesting to hear how the South Korean's rate the T-80U!

The tank they shot with the missile near the middle of that clip looks, to me, to be an early-to-mid-production Pzkfw.III/IV but, although I love armour, I'm no expert.

Anyone able to provide better identification?

Logan Hartke · « **Reply #171 on:** October 07, 2016, 10:33:47 AM »

It sure looks like a PzKpfw III Ausf. J to me. Long barrel 5cm KwK 42, but I don't see the spaced armor on the mantlet that you'd see on the Ausf. L & M. I wish the footage was a little higher resolution, but I feel pretty good about the ID, nonetheless.

Cheers,

Logan

Thanks, Logan! :)

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #173 on:** October 08, 2016, 02:54:35 AM »

Agree re id of target tank. I guess they would have had access to a few. Would be interesting to know if they used any Panthers or Tigers as targets too.
