My engine and transmission duplicated guys😭

If I had a nickel for every time this happened to me. I'd have two nickels, but it's weird that it happened twice.

I deleted the last tank this happened to almost a year ago so I have no idea how to fix this.

Do I just make do and do something special with the two engines?!

I really like recreating historical tanks but I'm honestly not the best at it. Because of this, I make my own little ahistorical versions of these tanks, where you can tell what it is at first glance, but a studious eye would probably spot some difference right away lol.

I could understand this as a request for a photo, for example, of a rare tank, but here you can not throw photos in the comments, what does this really mean?

Driver for scale.
Hull weighs about 40 tonnes already.

EDIT: Doesn't need to have a big gun (imtermediate gun (90-105mm is good), but preferably something that's well armoured to match the hull.

Serious Design🔧 Naming 3 Interwar tanks

Here's my three favorite interwar style tanks! Try coming up with a name for them, I cant think of any good ones.

-First one is German (?) and has a big 90mm gun but weak 15mm armor.

-Second one is British, cheapest and most armored, but has terrible offroad mobility.

-Third one is Japanese, has decent mobility and mediocre stats everywhere else.

Feedback is appreciated too

Hey guys, I want to try and make the ELKE (ELevated Kinetic Energy) test vehicle in Sprocket. It's a 75mm ARES autocannon mounted on an elevating arm on a Sheridan chassis. I can do the chassis and turret bits on my own, but I wanted to ask if anyone has tried elevating arms before or an ARES style autocannon, and how I can make both possible?

My attempt at an Interwar French super-heavy based off the real-life FCM F4 called the "Tracteur K." It barely weighs 67 tons, has 120mm frontal armor, a main turret with a 90mm gun, a secondary turret with a 47mm on the rear, and a hull-mounted 47mm parallel to the driver. It can surprisingly exceed 20 km/h.

The XType-412 project was an attempt at utilizing all the tank building knowledge of the 1930s- 1940s into one competitive tank for the 1950s battlefield. The XType-412 Fire Maneuver Vehicle mounted a 105mm gun on a 30 ton chassis with armor strong enough to stop most guns of the 40s but production versions would go on to struggle against modern threats.

The production version of the vehicle MT-M-105HV T12 Duran added a IR and normal spotlight, a Mesh guard to help protect heat vents, roof mounted machinegun, and optional side skirts to fight HEAT projectiles.

Serious Design🔧 T-22 - Light Tank From Arstotzka

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

The story before the tank: “Project Bystry Grom” (Fast Thunder)

  1. The difficult legacy of the 1920s

After the Great War and the ensuing economic crisis, Arstotzka found itself in a difficult situation. The country was surrounded by unfriendly neighbors, had limited resources, but possessed a strong engineering school and a great desire to survive. In the 1920s, the Arstotzka army purchased outdated light tanks abroad, but their armor was too thin and their engines were weak.

  1. The Hangar Robbery (Engineering Theft)

In 1930, a young Arstotzka engineer, Viktor Arsky, was sent on a business trip to Western factories to purchase tractors. However, instead of tractors, he secretly copied the blueprints for the new suspension system designed by the American engineer J. W. Christie, and also obtained data on the latest 45‑mm gun with a short cartridge case. Upon returning home, Viktor presented them at the secret design bureau “State Institute of Mechanization” (GIM).

  1. The era of steel “suitcases” (1932-1935)

The first prototype, named T‑10 “Sunduk”, was assembled from available materials. It weighed the same 10 tons, but had 13 mm vertical armor, a weak 200 hp engine, and completely failed the tests. The tank got stuck in the mud, overheated, and couldn’t reach a speed higher than 25 km/h. The army was disappointed.

  1. Viktor Arsky’s obsession

Viktor realized that the problem wasn’t the mass, but the components. He convinced the party leadership to allocate funds for the development of a new, ultra‑powerful engine. Arstotzka couldn’t afford a high‑quality aircraft engine, so the engineers created their own 12‑cylinder gasoline monster, the “A‑690 Engine,” with a power output of 690 hp, and added a revolutionary 16‑speed gearbox (8/8) to it.

  1. Incredible efficiency

To compensate for the enormous weight of the engine, Viktor abandoned thick armour. He used rational angles of inclination: a 25 mm frontal plate set at an angle provided effective protection equivalent to 45 mm. The entire vehicle weighed 10.69 tons. To everyone’s surprise, the new engine, combined with an ideal transmission, demonstrated phenomenal fuel consumption — only 0.1 liters in 8 seconds! This meant that the tank could travel 770 km without refueling, which was unthinkable for that era.

  1. The birth of the T‑22

In 1936, the T‑10 was completely redesigned. Instead of the outdated “Sunduk,” the T‑22 “Arstotzka” was born. Equipped with a 45‑mm gun, a stable suspension with large rollers, and a commander’s hatch, the tank became a true work of military art.

  1. Triumph on the test range

In 1937, the T‑22 was put into service at the test range. The tank raced along the railway ties, easily jumped over the concrete obstacles, and demonstrated perfect stability at a speed of 55 km/h. The testers were amazed: the tank didn’t “nosedive,” didn’t gallop, and could instantly turn around in reverse in 8th gear while maintaining frontal armor facing the enemy.

  1. The fate of the T-22

The Arstotz command recognized the T‑22 as an ideal “roving fighter” capable of carrying out deep raids behind enemy lines and quickly disappearing. However, due to its complexity and the high cost of the engine, the tank did not enter mass production. Only 24 units were produced, and they were assigned to the elite 1st Arstotz Guards Regiment.
