Does anybody else get a deformed dalek vibe from the Semple tank? Also I am not worried that it failed the “ can a close range sniper shoot through the gun ports” test. Cause I’d be machine gunning the fuck out of any sniper at close range. Super easy to hit. I imagine. Finally is anyone else worried about the mattress fire hazard on the engine ….

You might have a bit of trouble shooting the sniper, given it was quite shuddery inside the tank so it would be really difficult to aim, even at a sniper in close range!

There are few mistakes made here. The Semple had 8mm of armor steel imported from the US. As well as 12.7mm or half inch of manganese-steel in a corrugated form.

Ah, it seems I missed that slight difference! Will have to correct it, thanks for letting me know!
