“…We had spotted a T-72. ‘TANK, TANK!’ I shouted over the radio… And with a roar like that of Thunder, the tank next to me shot at it… It was hard to comprehend. One second there was a T-72 dug in behind sandbags right in front of us, the next there was a fireworks display…”
– A (fictional) IFV Crewman, 1991, on the topic of the MBT-155 ‘Crusader’.Made a new tank and that little paragraph of lore. This one’s a M1 Abrams/M1 CATTB sort of tank with a 155mm main gun. I call it the MBT-155 Crusader. It would be in American Service from the Late 1980s to the Modern Day. I don’t really have a lot of lore for it otherwise but I’ll make variants and maybe if a few of you guys want a personalized one, I’ll do custom inscriptions on a variant of your choice (I’ll make another post about that soon, so don’t ask for custom inscriptions just yet.)



Also should I submit this?
please can I use it for one of my animations? Also you should submit looks tanky enough to destroy another tank
I mean when it’s on the site anyone can use it so yeah.
Yea I know that one I was just asking
Yes
Should I make a few variants or nah?
Make a destroyed version. or do you want me to do it? (I don’t mind helping i can edit sticks pretty good)
I meant like upgrades, but I could perhaps.
Thermal tracker or forceshield in front
Forcefield seems unrealistic, but an APS (Active Protection System) unit would be pretty close. Also it’d have thermal imaging already since it’s an 80s US MBT. They all had thermal imaging capabilities.
Thanks for telling me that I never knew that until now. I might use this for a animation looks
Good
You’re welcome. Also thanks for the idea of adding APS to my tank, I almost forgot admittedly. I’ll make like an enhanced version with a CITV (A type of sight for the commander), ability to mount APS, and other stuff like that.
No problem bro I’m glad I helped:) have fun making tanks!
Alright, thanks man. I’ll post the variants when I do end up making them.
Kk good luck:D
