And for the BRT-35, I couldn't see how to do a half-tracked design, so I went with fully tracked, but for WesWorld purposes we could treat it as a halftrack with a roof.

A couple of reality checks are all that are needed to keep Tanksharp in check. Or write in your own additions to the spreadsheet.
The process of tank design;
Calibre of gun - > size of turret -> width of hull -> length of hull (about twice width)
The roof would be pretty good for keeping water and snow out.

In regard of the 57mm gun; why a 57mm when so far every one in the world is agreeing a 45 to 50mm range is good enough to do the work?
Also I have to agree with the roof in vehicles. No combat experience so far that shows the need for a roof. A tracked vehicle could be explained by using a modified hull of a tank as the chassis.

The newest gun in Atlantean service is the 57mm gun, introduced slightly sooner than the Russian weapon and for similar reasons that the Germans considered using a 50mm gun for their Panzer III's, in WW they are using the 50mm gun.
As for APC's the British, without combat experience, noted that the Bren gun carrier and its variants offered little protection for its occupants above the level of their shoulders.
As Hrolfs pointed out before its more an issue of cost not so much the concept of a fully enclosed shell to protect the troops beit from the elements or from enemy fire. Half tracks are much cheaper to produce.
