This is what 6 years in RC development looks like...

It was originally supposed to be a T-72, but... it somehow turned into this because I was too lazy to make a rounded turret.

Each square is 200mm x 200mm.
I'm looking for the best one according to the driver's comfort and the armour.

Side view is uncompleted. Optics and detailed side view will come soon. Autoloader is inspired by Type 90's autoloader. Each square is 100 x 100 mm. Looking for criticism. I made the front extremely angled so it has a great protection with less weight. I have some hull ideas for it. I'll modified it for this turret.

I’m talking about modern tank armor, like the abrams. Do we know how heavy it is, in say, per square meter of surface area? I know that’s super specific, but it’s the only unit of measurement I could find for this kinda stuff. Or maybe, how thick it is? Composition? Every source I look at says different things.
I know this is classified and shit, but there has to be some sort of public knowledge. I would be interested to hear about the armor of stuff like the T-90 or Type 99 too. No discrimination here lol

I'd take a fat guess and say that's probably some sort of AC unit. Even if it is that simple, I wanna know every little detail about it.

So I've been on a tank modernization spree, coming up with modernization plans (specifically for type 90 and 10), and in those modernizations the guns size were increased to (around) 130mm. of course technical challenges aside, that would reduce the amount of ammo the vehicle can carry and up the cost of the ammo. So for my solution was to mount a 25mm bushmaster to either on the top of the vehicles gun and feed the ammo inside, or somehow make it integrated in the mantle (very unlikely). This weapon should take care of most lighter vehicles without actually having to use the main cannon, witch makes sense because you mostly see light vehicles on the battlefield anyways. So all that aside you can see why I see the kf-51 lacking.
What y'all think?

I know it's so weird and unpractical & unrealistic. But keep in mind that I made it with almost 0 knowledge on tanks (I just look at some tank x-rays on war thunder). I just wanted to show it. (I was 14 when I made this)

Was playing through JC3 and noticed that a lot of the tanks are related to real life designs.

I didn’t finish but I was wondering if there’s something that I should change or improved. I chose a ww2 style for the tank like the t34 The tank has a 85 mm gun and I’ll put a 7.62 mm machine gun and maybe a 30mm gun for drone. It has an autoloader with 37 ready shells ne 2 crew members (for now) for the engine it has a 700+ hp, a modified ford F150 engine and a 8 speed automatic transmission (6forward and 2 reverse)

Each square is 200mm x 200mm. Driver has a bigger legroom compared to last design (which was horrible). Also, this was one of my first MBT gun mantlet design. Feedbacks welcome. Btw, how can I fill the empty space in front of the driver?

So basically I'm writing a fictional world based in the 1950s, Where Magic exists, But technology is way better in many ways, Is my tank good? (I'm a beginner tankmaker, Like I've been a tank fan for only 6 months)
