The Best That Never Was 2 (Prototypes)

OK, this actually exists, but it an interesting gun. The TP-82 survival rifle for cosmonauts. Two shotgun barrels mounted over a 5.45x39mm rifled barrel, with a detachable stock that doubles as a machete.

Hmm, all steel and three barrels, so, weight wasn't a factor. I wonder what its effective range was and accuracy.

I alerted everyone to this one some time ago, though I haven't done anything with it.

And that's why you are awesome sir. The amount and quality of work you and several others here do should earn you money, and lots of it. Hats off.

I didn't design this, but I found it on a Dark Conspiracy site:

I post these under the best that never was: the initial tanks available (for the original nations) in the on line game World of Tanks. I know there are some players out there.

They fall under this topic because (except for the French FT-17), known of these faced actual combat.

The file includes...

• T7 Combat Car (US)
• T1 Light Tank (US)
• LT-31 (Germany)
• FT-17 (France)
• NC-27 (Japan)
• NC-31 (China)
• MS-1/T-18 (USSR)
• Vickers Medium Mk I (GB)

For each one, there is a T2K style vehicle sheet and a description of the vehicle, its development, and how reality differed from it depiction in WoT.

I did these as an exercise for the fun of it (compare these vs T2K light AFVs). Admittedly, they have little direct use in T2K...

Very cool, thank you. One minor nitpick the stats for the T7 Combat Car I think list the ammo amount for the A2E1 Vickers Medium Mk IA, as it is the same.

They were TERRIBLE even compared to what came a decade or so later!
Still, I suppose they had to be made didn't they? Got to develop somehow.

And look what we have today, more or less 100 years later. How long did it take to lose the Sail?

[Legbreaker]

And we can only imagine what we'll have in another hundred+ years!
Give it another thousand and warfare may not even look like anyone's even fighting to our "primitive" minds.
