Canada's tanks

[Kirkhill]

I think that if you can get a 70 tonne vehicle to the front the the locals will add another 10 tonnes of whatever protection they think works for them. That will likely include APS and CUAS systems, the best that they can patch together.

Scrim nets, scaffolding, railway ties, rails, spare tracks, sandbags, homemade ERA all come to mind.

If you can get the vehicle to the front in the first place.

Is no one going to mention the tri-barrel coax gun in some of images?

Speculation is that one of the coax options could be the 12.7 GAU-19/B

As secondary armaments there seems to have a 7.62mm RWS and a coax GAU-19/B 12.7mm rotary cannon. The RWS is also used as the commander sight.

Which images.

NVM @Kirkhill clarified the GAU-19 ones.

That would certainly lay some hate on any dismounts/soft skins.

It also explains the two supernumeraries in the rear. Somebody is going to have to load all that 50 ammo.

Any opinions on rubber tracks?

Smoother ride? Quieter? Less vibration? Less weight? How easy are they to repair?

Less maintenance but unrepairable as they're a solid piece. Good for lightweight track like TLAVs. Less tear on infrastructure too.

They have repair kits for those tracks.

Ah neat, ive only ever done wholesale swaps on TLAVs.

As I understand it, most rubber tracks now come in sections, which can be removed and replaced, with each section being 6'+ as I have seen in pictures.

Here's my worry, and something we need to consider about tanks. Weight, and not of the tank directly. The average weight limit of bridges in Europe is 44 tons. Anything over that and we start limiting where our armoured formations can go unless we start dropping our own bridges which will slow things down.

One of the things I would do if I were King would be to spend an insane amount of cash on Combat engineering units .
Including and I'm fairly certain that this won't come as a surprise bridging unit's.
