I've always loved the clan vehicles just because the artists went out of their way to make them look as ungainly and un-sphere like as possible. No regular turrets and tracks, naw, we gonna put huge ass wheels on it and make it look like a futuristic Tsar Tank! Woe be to the player on the tabletop who ignores a star of these things, they can make your life suck in the blink of an eye- or the roll of a die.

They do have a distinct visual aesthetic to them which is good. Some probably could go with a bit of updating in the art department but I wouldn't want the style to change too much because it does make them stand apart.

"H-hey, Ted?" "Bob." "Have you seen my flashdrive? I can't find it." "Oh yeah yeah! I submitted it to production for you. It was overdue." "Was hoping you weren't going to say that, Ted." "Eh?" "The *yellow* one was for production." "The one in your hand there?" "Yes." "What was on the green one I submitted?" "An .stl for a vacuum cleaner I was printing this weekend!" "Huh. Well, production loved it." "Oh?" "Yeah, they're talking about raises across the board." *"Huh.* Guess we'll call it a happy accident." "I prefer the term *inspired."*

Every time I see one of these "futuristic" tanks I have fucking nightmares. This thing must have been inspired by the Tsar tank which, is itself, a horror show of terrible design choices.

Anyone else getting Gundam vibes with that monoeye in the visor? Looks like a design rejected by the Principality of Zeon for being too silly even for them.

I love it! How better to honour Kerensky than build a multi-turreted Tsar tank? (I admire Matt Plog for being able to resist Katushkaing the LRM launcher. (I'm not sure I could've.)

I agree they're trying to make interesting designs, and for good reason. Who says in-game companies aren't trying to "reinvent the wheel" (haha) by revisiting WW1 tank designs? They probably don't even know such deep history. Someone in WW1 came up with the idea, who's to say someone in the BT universe didn't follow the same mental/design process, not knowing it'd been tried before? I like it!

The company that owns BT needs to get better artists that have at least a rudimentary knowledge of vehicle design . How the hell do the 2 rear wheels work without wearing each other out , let alone allow the vehicle to turn.?

@@CriticalRocket I hope so too, as capable as the stats are, sometimes it leaves me scratching my head a little. I don't know, something throws me off when looking through them and how its supposed to be cheap, powerful but glass but then its a weird mixture of not actually fully being those (as a whole, I dunno, I guess i have been spending too much time making my own custom things)
