Most Underrated Game Tank?

By underrated, I mean either forgotten or flat out just never talked about, for my pick, I'd say GLA Marauder Tank, when was the last time you've heard someone talk about it

Art piece

Bad or terrible idk but I tried The ZQ-07 WHITE KNIGHT, featuring elements of the BMO-T and BMP-1 Kliver TKB-799 Turret, with space for infantry transport:

  • Weight: Approximately 30 tons (excluding infantry)
  • Armor:
    • Hull: Composite armor similar to the BMO-T, providing protection against small arms fire, shell fragments, and anti-tank mines.
    • Turret: Lightweight aluminum alloy armor from the BMP-1 Kliver TKB-799 turret, offering protection against small arms fire and shell fragments.
  • Armament:
    • Main Gun: 73mm 2A28 Grom low-pressure smoothbore gun from the BMP-1, effective against light armored vehicles and infantry positions.
    • Secondary Armament: One or two PKT 7.62mm machine guns for anti-infantry and anti-aircraft defense, mounted in hull and/or turret positions.
  • Engine:
    • UTD-20 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine from the BMO-T, providing 400 horsepower for good mobility and operational range.
  • Speed:
    • Maximum Speed: 65 km/h on road, 45 km/h off-road
    • Operational Range: 500 kilometers
  • Crew:
    • Commander/Gunner
    • Driver
    • Space for up to 6 fully equipped infantry soldiers in the rear compartment
  • Additional Features:
    • Amphibious capability inherited from the BMO-T, allowing for river crossings and amphibious assaults.
    • Infantry compartment with rear exit ramp for rapid deployment and extraction of troops in combat zones.
    • NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) protection system for crew and infantry survivability in contaminated environments.
    • Integrated communications and situational awareness systems for coordination between crew and infantry units during operations.

Question

Am I allowed to show my tank drawings on here BUT they're fictional tanks with strange history and a mix of real tanks (not the best at drawing)

What are the benefits of not having a auto loading tank?

I don’t understand why countries like America, England and Israel still have manual loading tanks what is the benefit?

Quick question regarding m1a2 Abram’s.

Are M1A2 Abram’s modified for their mission or in general? I bought myself a 1/16 scale rc version and wanted to modify it but also wanted to keep the realism, would it be unrealistic to give it some cosmetic mods such as some camo netting and other scale military themed items, or is that ruining the realism? From what I read it’s normal for tanks to be modified but wasn’t completely sure. Any help would be appreciated!

Want to know more about the ZTZ-99A…

Is the tank up to par with most modern designs? Any interesting design features (I’m familiar with tanks but not Chinese variants)

Are Russian Tanks really that pointless?

The news articles shout to my face all the time that the Russian tanks such as t-90 and t-72 are extremely dated and pointless to be at war. How true is this? Can these tanks still hold up with western counterparts in real life scenario?
