Sorry. I will shut up and let you do the typing. Over and out.

I think the dozer blade should stay on as it adds som bulk to the overal look of the miniature. Which I think is neccesary if it is to be the sisterhoods MBT. I think I would drop the side turrets though.

I'd lose the Dozer blade, but if it's an optional add-on, then to each his/her own.

I agree that the smaller turrets look off somehow. How about flattening them a bit, and moving them forward and inwards, and dropping the front twin turret to make room? You could add a pintle-mount gun on the top of the main turret to represent added anti-infantry firepower... Plus, pintle-mounts just look cool.

Nitpick and Toco - Take 'er easy.

Toco, it's dangerous to evoke the name of the company that shall not be spoken - bad things happen...."shutter"

OK - I agree guys, cramming all this firepower onto this chassis without making it look tacked on is proving difficult - how about these options?

Image

A. Dropped the side turrets and just replaced the secondary one with a cannon turret.

B. Added "wings" to the sides, which still allow maximum fire arcs to each side turret.

C. Remove flak cannon turret, add two small cannon turrets up top, moved cockpit to center.

D. Added lower side "wings" and integrated turrets into the hull - reduced fire arcs in the process.

PS - The dozer blade is optional on all Sisterhood tanks.

D, love it! Is this the same size hull as the current transport and missile tank? I ask because if it is I'd go for the sloped front from C (i.e. no hull weapon) with the rest of it being D.

Yes its the same sized hull. What do you say guys - keep the small flak turret, or drop it?

I vote drop the flakk turret with that info :)

I'm assuming we might see some alternative weapon options on this tank? Like and anti-infantry platform to go with this anti-tank platform?

While I appreciate the proxy utility of the sponsons, I think they look very WWI'ish. Could they be optional add-ons? The B and D variants looks like they could be made to plug onto the side doors?

I think option D could would well but having the sponsons slope down before going out looks awkward. If you went that route I'd suggest making the top of the sponson be a flat extension from the hull with some plates over it or some adjustments to blend better with hull. Could even be as simple as two braces over the top of the sponson.
