Description
Woo, a drawing. A nice break from all the pixels. Excuse the shitty scan.

The proportions don't say much, but this monstrosity known as the TT-5 (Tazhelyj Tank-5, heavy tank 5) is the heavy battle tank (not main batttle tank) employed by the army of my fictional country of Birkaine. It's nearly thrice as large as the M1A2 Abrams tanks used by the United States Army, and is armed with a huge 10-inch (254mm) smoothbore gun as its main piece of artillery. It's a caliber so big it can not only erase tanks with one shot, but can also aim high to fire as an SP gun.

As if that wasn't enough, it also has a small J-band radar that can guide SAMs towards helicopters and a laser designator to destroy tanks and other heavy vehicles with Kornet ATGMs.

The turret is unmanned, and the surprisingly small crew of 3 sits in the middle of the chassis, crammed in between the two V-96 12-cyl. diesel engines, which provide about 1600hp combined. Needless to say, it's a complete and utter fuel hog.

The final version is a bit wider, so it can turn on a dime, and has the SAM tubes moved from the turret to the chassis. To provide a sense of scale, a 2-meter man would be as tall as the chassis.
