Just two of my own crazy ideas for the HULL-4 tank:
The pair at the top I've dubbed "Big heads" simply because they have massive turrets.
This simply works by my shorter-base=bigger-turret principle. With no mini turrets taking up space or requiring elevation to peer over, these guns can fill a huge area- the turrets themselves are big enough to house a huge amount of stuff on the roof with plenty of space left over; and big enough to house THREE standard vanquisher cannons (compared to the regular two), or TWO extra-large guns.
The turret can be positioned at the middle/front, providing room for two rear-pointing and AA-capable guns to be mounted on the back (the main turret is therefore limited to firing in a forward 180 degree arc and cannot shoot backwards). The alternative is omitting these mini turrets altogether, and allowing a 360 range of fire for the main gun (which can be mounted on the back of the chassis, if you choose).
I think this design is quite promising- trading support fire for pure damage and resilience.
The OTHER idea is one that I must admit sounded great on paper- but looks kinda... odd.
A simple concept- take a standard vanquisher turret (sans rear compartment) and place it on the front of the chassis to fire a forward 180 degrees. Build a platform behind it and place ANOTHER vanquisher turret on top (with 360 field of fire). Might be a little top-heavy, but meh. It could possibly work with a a lower turret size.
Thoughts?
