poesel Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 "On my way to a tank in DT" I was wondering how much vehicles weigh in game (assuming that density is tons/m^3): Thor 5356m^3 - 107t Apollo 5356m^3 - 53t (thats a bit strange - the Apollos all have the same size as the Thors) Paladin 4278m^3 - 42t Shrike 1315m^3 - 13t I don't know how that compares to real world vehicles but to me it feels fine. My question to Clay is if the dimensions have any effect in game except to calculate the weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those weights look quite reasonable to me although that makes the Thor heavier than most (all?) modern day tanks. Modern day tanks are 40-80 metric tons (the Abrahms M1A2 is 63 metric tons, which sports a 120mm turret). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby Haynes Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Some speedy research has found some monster modern day tanks. The Germans had 100 ton Panzer tanks and actually designed and built a 188 ton Maus tank, which never saw active service. There may be other examples. I suspect that more recent tanks are lighter as maneouverability now trumps super-heavy armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
