I decided to use Brigade Models 6mm Neo-Soviet Molotok SP Gun link as 15mm anti-tank drone. Its 75mm gun works great against light and medium vehicles and can even cause some damage to tanks. 75mm drone have team of 2 person: loader and operator, who can control drone from command truck.

I think you might want to add some deployable stabilizer legs or that poor thing might flip when it shoots.

What palaeoemrus said was my first thoughts as well. Looks cool though.

Perhaps it drops a spike in the ground to fire?

Or just the back plate may drop down to brace it?

Wonder if as it fires it could reverse at the same time to absorb the recoil?

It have very good hydro-pneumatic recoil mechanism like French 75mm cannon link but even better, because if future.

Look at french recoil mechanish of 75mm gun in action YouTube link

Is it a laser/energy system or projectile?

I think it now needs a ammo carrier as well.

SirFjodin24 May 2012 6:23 a.m. PST

Its projectile. So My idea is to find somekind of ammo carrier .
I think final version of artillery unit will include gun, loader, ammo cariage, and maybe controller. But all of these will count as one unit, not separate models.

I do like it , nice work.

Brilliant! – an excellent idea – look forward to seeing the ammo carrier…

Weasel24 May 2012 9:15 p.m. PST

Thats a really fun idea. Good job!

Nice mix of scales… i assume the ammo carrier will also be track driven if so may i suggest using GZG tracked gun drone with a piece of flat plastic on top and then finding some 15 or 20mm shells from any of the miniature companies that produce WWII stuff.
