How do you feel about how tanks are represented in video game?

It's not as practical as science fiction would have you believe. Same reason we don't put side sponsor mounted guns on tanks anymore.

I would rather have a six barreled tank destroyer.

daily reminder that tanks are completely pointless in the modern day.

>opens up like a car
>blows up everything it touches
>has infinite ammo
>shoots from the cannon speed up the tank if aimed backwards
You mean real life tanks don't do that??

I'm amazed there isn't a good, western made tank game.

Armored Warfare is dead as fuck because the russian publisher decided to kill it in the west.

World of Tanks has been stagnant for years and that will not change.

War Thunder ground is probably the best of the bunch but is unfortunately hamstrung by gaijin's atrocious management, especially the egregiously long grinds and refusal to make an aircraft free mode.

Did the Russians experiment with it? With all the crazy shit they built I'd expect a few working prototypes armed with 152mm cannons.

Post ww2 nations didn’t generally see those kinds of tanks as viable

>One of the arms in combined arms warfare is pointless

I hope you try fighting a force supported by modern tanks with just infantry and light vehicles tard

Germany did. Failed the trials.

* gets destroyed by a plane *

Hence the name combined arms warfare. They usually are supported by SPAAGs and their own Airplanes.

I like how in Red Orchestra 2 you needed 4 people in a tank to even be semi-useful with it, and even then you'd get your shit rekt by infantry if you didn't properly know what to do.

>Combined arms

Keyword: Combined

Tanks are a relic

Because the extra weight of another massive gun would fuck the tank over in over a dozen situations.

Reminder that in ten years aircraft and tanks will be combined to a create a hovering armoured platform of death.

Pretty much every tank-making nation made at least one try at the start of WWII.
- two medium-sized canons take way more place in the turret than a big one, and pretty much make the loaded's job impossible.
- asymmetrically-positioned canons tend to bend the shit out of the turret with recoil, unless you always fire them in sync.
- two mediums

I love the luchs.

i was especially disappointed gta v didn't try to replicate the effect even though it's a newer game

all nations testes twin barreled tanks. Your tank has to move fast so it isn't a sitting duck, so you can use a big cannon or twin cannons. But in real life when fighting other tanks "dps" is useless if you bullet can't go through armor

Delete this

The German Ostwind/Sturmwind and Panzer 2s were exampls of this. Their autocannons look fucking cool but against anything with more than 70mm armor, you might as well be shooting BBguns.

Damn, I remember when Luchs and co in WoT where Tier III stuff balanced around meeting Tier VIII+ because the matchmaker desperately needed more light tank players to do scouting.
Those few games where you ended up in an actual Tier III match were hilarious (not for the enemy team tho) .... zooming across the map while somehow machine-gunning Tier III heavy tanks to death.

I want war thunder with wot health points

Why not a tank that is just a large revolver on wheels?

because thats all sorts of stupid and so is your soul.

You mean tanks with autoloader?

Sponsons were extremely practical in the conditions the first tanks were designed for. The Renault FT gets praised for the 'revolutionary' decision to mount its main gun in a rotating turret when literally the first tank ever made was designed with a turret in mind which was removed when the people working on it realised it would be extremely impractical for shooting into trenches.

but user, wheeled tank destroyers are the the sexiest shit when it comes to armored warfare

but what about clip fed tanks
or even mag fed tanks

How's it feel that your favorite piece of military hardware is clunky and obsolete and unfit for the modern age?

Lol Ostwind/Wirbelwind are AA.

Two guns means two loaders, means you need 2 deadzones for breech recoil, means the gunner needs to fire the guns with separate sights or set a convergence for each engagement. Then there comes the question, why make room in a turret for two guns when you could use that same room for a larger one?

Probably not what you're looking for, but the Neubahfahrzeug here had two guns in the main turret side by side, one 75mm and one 37mm.
