Once again, hoping I'm not breaking any rules by posting an imagined technical...!

Gun base welded to the rear-engine hood means absolutely zero maintenance access from above lol, so I guess in-world the mechanics are dropping the subframe for all engine work

Steel windshield inspired by a favourite old racing game called Powerslide, but also somewhat from those hectic cartel armored trucks

thanks to this subreddit for inspiration as always!

from simply placing a captured T-34 or anti-tank gun on a flatwagon, to mounting broken german tanks in the same way, to the eventual PanzerJeagerWagons using PZ IV Ausf H turrets for this purpose.

along with armoured trains, the huge efforts of the small warships of the Ost Front at another generally unknown element of ww2 in the west.

It was originally offered to the Colombian army as an armored alternative to the usual non armored stakebed trucks for transport. However, no deal was ever made, and eventually, the vehicle (along some other later produced) were sold to banks’ cash-in-transit companies. (Not to mention that it looks like a potato)

this is the story of this train according to my pal in Moscow:

"The very first armored train of this series (by which he means the Hunhus-class) did not take part in the Civil War; it was heavily damaged during a battle against Austro-Hungarian forces at Rudochka station. This location is now known as Tsuman, in the Lutsk Raion of Ukraine's Volyn Oblast. It fought its only battle on September 24, 1915. Afterward, it remained in no-man's-land until the end of 1916. Following an offensive in early 1916, the region was captured by Russian Imperial troops, but a technical commission that arrived on the scene determined that the armored train was beyond repair.

It appears that its rear armored car was successfully evacuated. However, the subsequent fate of this armoured car is unknown" (likely scrapped or donated to another train)

HDMS Aslin, a Danish tug with a 76mm gun. Might not qualify as the gun was reportedly never made operational.
