Tank Mega Thumbanil Dump

Description

I was having fun just doing a bunch of thumbnail sketches about tank design.

Originally I had the idea for "what if" developments on the churchill tank design, if certain modifications had been made to improve the design. The three main shortcomings of the churhcill design were the underpowered engine, the unsloped frontal armor, and the small flat-faced turret that prevented upgunning late in the war. So I began by sketching an alternate  sloped frontal hull, and assuming we could mount a more powerful engine in the churchill, then from there I brainstormed likely alternate turret designs that would work with the churchills british slightly undersized turret ring. Both oscillating turrets and turrets using an overhanging or 'bulging' design would both allow the fitting of a larger gun without requiring the hull to be widened for a larger turret ring.

The rest of the sketches are just simple thought exercises on turret designs, shapes, etc.
