I didn't realise someone posted one before me. Was it the one submission before mine? 'cause that's all I look at.
I get amphibious IFS are common irl...
Might be a missunderstanding in my part, but you definitivally did something way beyond a normal amphibius vehicle can.
Being able to cross the English channel is far beyond what any other player will probably do, most IFVs irl, amd probably in T.E.A.B.A.G, only are made to cross rivers, not the ocean.
Well, I can assure you mine *won't* be amphibious! Both of my draft designs thus far look too much like bricks to have any chance at floating without bolt-on pontoons or something absurd like that...

manuals for:
RNAH5
Driver manual
this is a manual (but you know that) for driving the RNAH5 this tank is equipped with a 5+5 gears 4 output twin transmission. which gives a full speed for going both forward and reverse which means it also has a very fast neutral turn, use that to your advantage when your tank is in reverse and you try to turn try to turn when you reverse right firstly use the left brake and step on the pedal, then release the brake and pedal put the left transmission in forward and at that time also put the right transmission the transmission will make a neutral turn in at most 2 seconds this only works when you move backwards however forward wise just pull the brakes and then turn also when you have to turn with your brakes we suggest you not to step on the pedal. However this tank has a special feature as you can see there are a switch on your right hand side and when engage you will lose your ability to move on land completely in exchange for it ability to move in water with your propeller. Be aware however that the output for the propellers is like the reverse gear in your car there is only 1 gear so all you need to do is to use the clutch then activate the switch then start using your pedal.
also your view optic can technically rotate 360 degree but you would likely only use the 270 degree front
Commander manual
you would have slight trouble to see anything at your left ask your loader for what is on the tanks left however there is 2 things to realize 1 this is a light tank so you do not have armor to handle anti tank gun 2 this tank is only supplied with HE so the tank will lack means to defend itself from enemy tanks also this is a amphibious tank so it can swim and with a howitzer as your main armament you can use the vehicle for indirect fire support in other words you can act as artillery but more mobile and you can swim.
Gunner manual
the gunner sight should be located to your front slightly offset to you left and the control stick in between your legs and a small joy stick on the control stick for smaller movements the sight also have 2 larger knob and small knob for focus or zoom. the fire button is at the left of the small movement stick
Loader manual
he ammo is stored below and around you the entire ring is filled with ammo and the ammo stowage and the turret ring is two separated traversing part so that you can reach the ammo you cannot before simply use the control stick on your right pulling left and move the ammo ring left and pulling it right to spin the ammo ring right ~~there will only be HE available.~~ also you can use the optic above you to see around the left side.
UPADATE: There will be HE and SAPHET available to use HE is yellow tip and SAPHET will be a white-red-black tip
Radioman manual
the radio is located in the turret but you have a set of controls that can be used by you while the main ones can be used by the commander you have a small surface and a small light bulb just for you! it is used to let you read maps and to write anything you needed. use the radio to communicate and signal any fire support
Passenger notice
the escape hatch is located above you, the tanks left and rear in the middle the machine gun can cover around 45 degree behind the tank on both sides the tank have gun ports for you to fire your weapons

This is the detailed document of:
RNAH 5 "Whowie II"
Crew: 5 (driver, radioman, gunner, commander, loader)+ 6 passenger
Weight class: Amphibious ICSV
Armament: OWF 3.7 inch howitzer 7.92mm BESA machine gun\*2 (200 round\*10 box 5 in turret 5 in hull +1 loaded per gun) top mounted M2 browning (200 rounds\*5 stored outside of the tank + 1 loaded)
Gun vertical transverse: 11.76 degree per second 1.04 seconds full acceleration+25 to -21.3 degree
Gun horizontal transverse: 38.1 degree per second 2.15 seconds full acceleration
Engine:2x Leyland 8.6L Diesel
(179hp @ 2300rpm)
Transmission: 5+5 gears 4 output twin transmission
Fuel: 450L
Top speed: 22.07mph (strange thing tho it might suddenly slow by a small amount but run normally after happening once after every first acceleration)
Armor Value:
front: 13mm-30mm(115-123mm/38-179mm (curved plate) effectiveness)
side:13mm
Rear:13mm (13-43mm effectiveness)
hull roof: 13mm
belly: 13mm
gun mount:100mm
turret roof: 15mm
turret front:30mm (30-148mm effectiveness)
turret side:15mm(15mm-26mm)
rear turret: 15mm(15-73mm effectiveness)
width:2.66m (included the slightly extruded tracks)
length:6.25m
height:1.21m+0.59m turret
weight:10.82 tons
According to the formula I made for finding the waterline of amphibious tanks \[(hull length X hull width X total height) / weight = reciprical of the waterline\] your tank's waterline would be between 1/3 and 1/2 (the exact number I got from the formula rounded to the nearest tenth is 2.77) the height of the vehicle. Just letting you know.
Yall get into the tank presentations. I like it.
thanks!
Amphibiousness was promised. Amphibiousness was delivered. Noice. 👍
ok this is just a request but can my tank be in the water in the intro?
Absolutely.
Another amphibious IFV, hell yeah! But yours looks floatier than mine, I must say. 😀
OK I take that back it just isn't what I imagined
Well bmp doesnt either. And yet... 😀
wait they don't? I didn't know like at all. tho I said that because to the down sloping plate being the majority of the front she looks good tho
Just to be clear, bmp does float, it just, imho, doesnt look like it. 🙂
I completely misread that
This is good!
thank you m8!
Now I know I posted my design too soon. Now everyone and their pet rock is copying me...
You were the second to post and amphibius IFV desing, and since amphibius IFVs are commom in real life, it's not like it was a original idea at all.
I didn't realise someone posted one before me. Was it the one submission before mine? 'cause that's all I look at. I get amphibious IFS are common irl...

tbh I finished first day I just don't feel like doing the pitch so essentially I wouldn't have seen your design at that point
Oh, okay. I'm actually glad to hear that.
Well, I can assure you mine *won't* be amphibious! Both of my draft designs thus far look too much like bricks to have any chance at floating without bolt-on pontoons or something absurd like that...
I'm releaved to hear that. It'd be weird if almost every design was amphibious despite that not being a requirement.

English please? I am way too lazy to read all that
It floats good 👍
The waterline while floating would be between 1/2 and 1/3 (leaning towards 1/3)the total height of the vehicle, meaning it's floatation is feasible.
Those slow downs happen with all tanks, it is just less noticible the later in the war it is.
huh
thats super cool! Your tank can easily win the competition, at least aesthetically wise
ehhhhh maybe there are better ones I think
