RE: [GZG] [OFFICIAL] The latest in 15mm..... :-)



Title: RE: [GZG] [OFFICIAL] The latest in 15mm..... :-)
I had noted that myself.  Though, I'll reserve judgment until I can look at it in the flesh.


There are very few "real" tanks which have their turret crew completely within the turret itself - the fighting compartment (the turret "basket") fills a lot of the hull space below the turret ring. In the case of the light grav, in order to keep the turret low-profile, I assumed that the commander's lower half would be down in the turret basket inside the hull. Yes, there's not a lot of elbow room either, but it's a small tank!  ;-)

We can certainly do a remote turret later as an option, though the one already available (V15-ACC2, as used on the Guncrab and Puma) would fit fine.

Yes, please!

While we're talking turrets: The Light Grav Sled's turret looks, in the photos, way too small to actually hold the commander who's sticking halfway out of it. How about an alternate automated turret, so all the crew can stay down in the hull?
