Remember the Battle of Sedan: May 1940.

When Britain and France declared war on Germany following the Nazi invasion of Poland, many expected that war to be a retread of the infantry tactics of WWI.

That line of thinking clearly led to the French strategy of constructing the heavy concrete fortifications of the Maginot Line. Those expectations where shattered in May 1940, when the Germans launched a fast-paced “Blitzkreig” (“lightning war”) spearheaded by Panzer tanks. Lacking heavy artillery, the Germans attacked French positions at Sedan with massed Stuka dive bombers. The intense air assault quickly demoralized the defenders and the German forces easily broke through. France fell soon afterwards.

These are Germany's ideas for very heavy tanks some excisting like the Maus but mostly paper panzers....

I sure do want to make more of them... just waiting for a chance to buy at a lower rate....

I'm not dead

I'm not dead, I'm just currently in China with my family on a vacation (I have a VPN to post here), and personal interests distract me away from writing here.

I also want to say this about SAGAU: Imagine the creator/reader plays World of Tanks/World of Tanks Blitz or something like that alongside Genshin Impact

And thus when they get thrown into Teyvat they just wake up and at their side is a T-34

Or even worse, a Panzer Kpfw. II Ausf. J

Or worst of all this thing

(Guess its name in the comments if you want)

Now, the big gimmick would be ammo and crew, since tanks have limited ammo and need more than one man to efficiently use them. Here's how I think they'd work if the reader had these:

Tanks can be swapped out (if the reader bought more than one), but only if the reader is outside of it.

The reader can buy new tanks using Mora (let's say that 10 Mora = 1 Credit) while primogems can be used as gold (let's say that 3 primogems = 1 Gold). Experience can be gained by doing things with the tanks such as driving them around and shooting at things.

Since only the reader controls their tank, if the reader is injured the tank has reduced efficiency in all aspects. Modules, however, still function as they do in World of Tanks the same when damaged.

The reader uses a tablet to move and shoot their tank. They get a third-person view of everything and can zoom in for better aiming.

Tanks reload their guns via robotic arms. This also goes for how modules are repaired.

The reader can use a tank's other weaponry besides its main cannon because otherwise tanks with multiple guns would have their firepower gone to waste.

I'll probably write something on this and you all can as well lmao

Just imagine the acolytes fighting with their usual stuff and then reader pulls up in one of these iron machines

Remember the Battle of Stalingrad: August 1942–February 1943.

In contrast to the great sweeping tank battles elsewhere on the Eastern Front, Stalingrad was protracted and bloody urban warfare fought from street to street, house to house, and room to room as the Red Army resisted German attempts to take the city.

Russia’s defenses were based on thousands of strongpoints, each manned by an infantry squad, in apartments, office buildings, and factories, all with strict orders forbidding retreat. German artillery and airpower virtually demolished the city, but failed to dislodge the defenders. Eventually, the German force was itself surrounded. The total number of casualties may have been as many as two million including civilians.

The German PzKpfw IV Ausf F2 was a comparatively simple evolution from the Ausf F with thicker armour and more importantly a long barrel 75mm gun for enhanced anti tank capabilities. This particular tank is somewhat unusual in having a single rather than double baffle muzzle break

A while ago I said I was going to make a post about my favourite tank and, well, here it is. A post about none other than the Burstyn-Motorgeschütz.

Having been invented in Austria-Hungary during 1911, the Motorgeschütz was ahead of it's time. it's draft design was more advanced than some tanks seen during world war 1, and one could argue that it was the very first tank to ever exist...

Backstory

The idea for the Motorgeschütz first came around when a man named Gunther Burstyn was invited by his cousin to go on a torpedo boat trip during his service in 1903. Burstyn was impressed by the boats speed, power, and armour, and this led him to the idea of creating a 'land torpedo boat' powered by a gasoline engine. He figured that such a vehicle would need to be able to travel off-road and over trenches if it were to be used in battle.

Later on he attended an engineering school where he visited an Automotive Exhibition in Vienna in 1906. There he saw the Austro-Daimler Panzerautomobil which was essentially just an armoured car. Burstyn saw the potential in the vehicle, but he saw the wheels as a big limitation because wheels made it easier for one to get stuck in mud and harder to drive over ditches and trenches.

Once he finished his engineering school and got promoted, he stayed in Trento between 1906 to 1908 where he discovered 'plate chains' used on heavy guns to reduce ground pressure. This gave him the idea 'hmm, what if we wrapped this stuff around several wheels at a time to even out the weight of the vehicle?'

Finally, with all these things in mind Burstyn set out to draw up the first blueprints of the motorgeschütz in 1911 and eagerly send them off to the Austro-Hungarian war ministry with high hopes that his invention will catch their interest.

The Design

Now when it comes to the design of the Motorgeschütz, it's quite hard to describe because of how vague it's blueprints were. Hell, you could even say that it's unknown which side was the front of it since it was never explicitly stated where the driver sat.

The only parts of the blueprints that weren't too vague were the arms of the Motorgeschütz. The arms at the back were operated by the crew member at the rear, and the arms at the front were operated by the crew member in the turret.

While arms would've indeed make it easier to get over obstacles and drive over trenches as shown, it also came with some complications of its own. Arms lifting the vehicle would cause it to shift it's weight risking the possibility of losing traction and getting suck in muddy terrain.

Results and Conclusion

The Austro-Hungarian war ministry turned Burstyn's idea down 3 months after he had submitted it, stating that they didn't see enough potential in it to be worth the investment. Not only that, but they also pointed out that the blueprints for the vehicle were far too vague. They stated that if Burstyn wanted his motorgeschütz to be made, he would be the one to pay for it which obviously he couldn't.

Burstyn wouldn't give up that easily, though, because right after this he approached the German war ministry to file a patent... only to be turned down again. A couple last-resort attempts that involved going to the press to have news articles written about his invention were made but alas, it failed to draw in support.

Austria-Hungary ended up going to war without a single armoured vehicle in 1914, and without a single tank overall for the rest of the war. Had the motorgeschütz been built, it certainly would've given the country more of an advantage in WW1 but it's hard to say if it would have enough of an impact to change the outcome entirely.

Now why is this tank my favourite tank? Because I think it looks funny :))) that's all.

If you made it this far, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed my ramble.

#📌 Quality Post #if you were hoping that this post was gonna be about a panzer or something actually cool i am so sorry lmao #but to be fair i've had this tank as my banner for some time now anyways #and if anything ive said here is historically inaccurate i'm dousing myself in acid #tank #tanks #military history

Just revisiting my previously build panzer 4's. There must have been more but I can't find the pics anymore.
