Wait, 150mm cannon? That tank had some serious firepower for it's time.
Although I wonder where the earth that gun was mounted, and how the hell the chassis 's absorbed it's recoil.
I think there is a turret behind those two men. And recoil? Well, maybe same as old howitzers from middleage?
Exactly, the recoil would work like a giant old howitzer. Recoil is absorbed by the rear wheels.
Yeah I'd like a source on this.
Wikipedia my good sir.
Doesn't specify the armament anywhere.
It carried a six pounder as a primary weapon in the turret according to this Fc02.deviantart.net
same source states the side guns where only 9 pounders.
wouldn't 9 pounders be Napoleonic artillery?
That or some modification of this. En.wikipedia.org
Either way, I don't think there were any 150mm guns involved.
The big wheeled trike tank that lead to the design of the Hailfire Tank of Star Wars.
Tank? This looks more like a Civil War-era artillery piece on steroids.
looks like one of those old bicycles
too much vodka + drawing board = this lol
