The miscellaneous weight breakdown: Quoted Misc Weight: - 350t, 6 Float-planes, 4 Auto-gyros, and 4 plane spares - 125t, Automatic Turret weights - 100t, Radar Suite - 50t, Communications - 25t, Electronic Fire-Control - 150t, Crew comforts
Quoted from "Brockpaine" In this case, since the guns are newly installed, you should change the date on the guns to 1941. It may change the weight of the mounts slightly, but then the error will go away. Make sure to check before-and-after shell weights, too; and change the dates on any other armament that may be removed and replaced. For some reason I completely missed the date fields next to barrel number... Quoted from "BruceDuncan" I do not know whether the date of the automatic guns is a ...
Here is an [another] attempt at simming the light cruisers that are being reconstructing in Q3/41. Quoted Bornholm, Denmark CL/CV laid down 1921 (Engine 1941) Displacement: 8,544 t light; 8,853 t standard; 9,774 t normal; 10,511 t full load Dimensions: Length overall / water x beam x draught 574.41 ft / 557.74 ft x 60.04 ft x 19.52 ft (normal load) 175.08 m / 170.00 m x 18.30 m x 5.95 m Armament: 4 - 5.12" / 130 mm guns (2x2 guns), 73.63lbs / 33.40kg shells, 1941 Model Automatic rapid fire guns ...
In case it wasn't clear: Quoted Another issue is I've noticed in the last sim report (Q3/1941) Commodore Green did for Denmark included the following items: No.1 type 3.5 drydock – Falster, CL, receives 1494 tons, balance 4914 tons No.2 type 2 drydock – Bornholm, CL, receives 1494 tons, balance 4914 tons which is listed as receiving a 75% reconstruction. The Island class CLs have an original lightweight of 7204, so 1494+4914 seems to be overpaying. The 75% reconstruction should cost 5403, but he...
I've noticed I don't actually have control over the contents of the Danish encyclopedia. I can't edit the posts inside, I can't make new sub-forums inside, etc. Another issue is I've noticed in the last sim report (Q3/1941) Commodore Green did for Denmark included the following items: No.1 type 3.5 drydock – Falster, CL, receives 1494 tons, balance 4914 tons No.2 type 2 drydock – Bornholm, CL, receives 1494 tons, balance 4914 tons which is listed as receiving a 75% reconstruction. The Island cla...
At the very least I will likely replace the 75mm/L48 on the M45 with the 75mm/L70. There are too many tanks where the 75mm/L48 cannot even penetrate the lower glacis. However as the heaviest tank in Wesworld, the M44 is stuck in an odd place. The 75mm/L70 can deal with most tank, but not ALL tanks - the StandardPanzer's upper glacis for example is invulnerable at all ranges and that is where most rounds would hit. You would know best, but I've assumed the Char-8 has similar armor to the Standard...
Italy has offered supply it's 90mm/L53 to Denmark to re-equip it's tanks. It's a tempting offer, what with a mature supply chain and the two countries being close due to former ties to AEGIS. It'll likely lead to a weapon reduction program though. A M44 and M45 with the 90mm/L53 will likely weight ~38 mT and 55 mT respectively, which is barely acceptable for the medium and starting to be overweight for the heavy. Probably a ton or so will have to come from rear armor or something. Also consideri...
Here are the finished renders - camouflage not necessary indicative of reality.
I'm curious how you managed to have a tank that weighs 3.5 metric tons lighter than the T-44 whilst having comparable protection and armored volume. Even with the basic T-34, the Model 1943 with same 76.2mm gun weighed in at 30.9 metric tons whilst having about the same fuel capacity and less armor. The T-40M as detailed seems pretty similar to the T-43 prototype and that was 34 metric tons. How do you come up with the tank weighing so little? If you're using Tanksharp, you need to include struc...
Draft rendering of the M45 Medium. There is an issue with the tracks not rendering properly and there are no wheels... but sufficient for a first look. It's hard to see due to the angle and turret overhang but the turret in the forward position due to the rear transmission. The turret ears house coincidence range finders.

I apologize. It's not very handy to quote multiple people, so I simply copy and paste the quoted snippet - the end result being that I'm not sure who said what. In any case, tentatively the M44 and M45 specifications are to be: M45 Medium 140mm glacis, 75mm sides, 75mm rear LOS Hull values, 8 mT turret ~35 mT total tank weight with 45 kph (road) / 25 kph (offroad) performance, ~10 psi Ground Pressure 75mm/L48 (75mm KwK 40) M44 Heavy 280mm glacis, 150mm sides, 150mm rear LOS Hull values, 16 mT tu...
I mostly understand what you are all saying, and I will go and redisgn both the M44 Heavy and the M45 Medium. However, I have some problems with your arguments. Quoted First off, a 100mm gun is not justifiable at the present time in Wesworld. We mentioned this earlier in regards to your heavy tank, and we elected to make a one-time exception in light of the tank's size and a very limited production run. Yet you're now putting this gun on a much smaller medium tank meant for larger production num...
Explain to me how a tank with practically the same dimensions as the M4A6 Sherman, but with a larger turret, one less crew member, and rear transmission to reduce height is "completely out of line for a 1940s tank"? Height? If you assume a 0.4m tall cupola (as on the Tiger 1) - the tank height is 2.9m, compared to 2.74m for the Sherman - that is not accounting for the rear transmission means the 0.4m to 0.5m large space under the turret basket occupied by the driveshaft in the Sherman. Even acco...
This will be the Danish M45 Medium, the bread and butter of it's armoured forces. It features much larger road wheels and much more ground clearance than the M44 Heavy, as well as a much more powerful engine - a reflection of it's designed ability to travel cross-country and on roads at sustained high speeds. To prolong the engine and suspension life, the engine is governed and the tank limited to 75kph maximum, far below it's maximum capability. The heavy mantle armor is achieved, unlike the M4...
I thought so - I'll have to come up with a name for them.
Here is the detailed ToE of a Danish Armored Battalion. EBR and Sdk. Kfz. 251 is just a placeholder for somewhat similar vehicles unless Germany and France want to sell it to Denmark.
I said I would try to explain why the L45E1-AB is even needed at all: My initial thoughts about situation normal was: AEGIS is defunct since the more pressing allies to Denmark (the Netherlands and Italy) have withdrawn. As such Denmark is likely to detach itself from AEGIS and be alliance hunting. With no alliance, Denmark is vulnerable to it's neighbors, most particularly Germany by land. Nordmark isn't as big a concern due to the size-able Danish navy as a counterweight. This is what lead to ...
The M5 Stuart uses the 37mm M3 L56.6-L53.24 gun which uses a 37x223R AP shot with a rim diameter of 55.3mm. The Lees and early Shermans used the 75mm M2/M3/M6 L31-L37.5-L39 gun which uses a 75x350R round with a rim diameter of 87mm. The ideal cylinder volumes are then approximately 0.00054 m3 for the 37mm M3 gun and 0.00208 m3 for the 75mm M2/M3/M6 gun. 144 x 37x223R rounds takes a volume of 0.077 m3, with 2.5x margin it is 0.1944 m3. 24 x 75x350R rounds takes a volume of 0.05 m3, with a 2.5x ma...
I can give them later - when I am near a more practical typing instrument. As for the turret ring, IIRC the base was designed as 2m. At some point it was 1.8m but I changed it for reasons I'm forgetting.
