Re: Icon work (any suggestions?)
Would it be possible for you to colourise my icons? If so, a wintry one would be lovely.
Coitanly. I shall add it to my list of things to do.
What is that thing? Who designed it?
That thing was a british proposal as part of the design process which led to the Chieftain tank we all know and love.
It was known as PROJECT PRODIGAL.
PRODIGAL 3 was for an air portable vehicle with a range of 500 miles (800km) crew of 1 or 2, weapons being fed by autoloader; armed with a 160mm Low pressure gun firing a 60 lb HESH round at 600 m/sec. Liquid propellant was a possibility, as was a recoil-less mount.
Unfortunately, the book doesn't show any pictures of it.
The one with the two guns is the final specification for FV 4401:
Cost must be 1/4th that of Conqueror
Rolls Royce Series B Engine
2 x 120mm Recoilless Rifles based on the current infantry weapon (BAT)
Each gun was to be fed by rotary magazines, each containing seven rounds.
A Coaxial MG was to be fitted, along with a spotting rifle for rangefinding.
The Weapons could elevate +10 deg, and depress -7 degrees, same as Conqueror.
Apparently three prototypes of some sort were made; under the name "Contentious", and at least one is at the tank museum in Bovington.
