28JUL08 Sabra! IDF modified M-60 Patton Tank 22JUL08 Insomnia Doodles based on images found here: http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?t=5368&page=3 18JUL08 This is a hover tank concept that I envision every time I read Hammer's Slammers (the military SF of David Drake...). I was using a reference of an M-60 Patton tank, and decided to turn the hull into a hover tank. Considering that Mr. Drake was with the 11th ACR in Vietnam, and that they used the M-60 Patton... I figure its pretty close to the authors intent for what Hammer's hover tanks would look like. They are not super science anti-gravity vehicles by any means, they are just Ground Effects Vehicles (GEV) that use a cushion of air to lift them off the ground, but they are fusion powered! You would need a good power source to lift 70-100 tons of metal off the ground... 16JUL08 |
