Fallout Re: What happens in 2025? / new tactics- new technologies

On the shots of the rear of those tanks I'm not seeing any signs of prop guards, props, hydro jets, rudder or raised engine exhaust housing to prevent water from getting into the engine.

It could only operate as an amphib by using it's tracks however, if that's the case I can guarantee it won't operate effectively at all in an ocean environment.

Another limiting is how much armor does it have? On the "face of it" it looks fairly well protected. Below I offer a "case study" of where armor killed it's full amphibious capability. It also brings up a couple of factors I mentioned in my Para 1.

They sort of remind me of the Indonesian version of Turkeys "KAPLAN" medium tank I submitted a few months back.

Pat
