What if we do 2 seats and give each seat a machine gun?
[X] 2 (Driver and Flame-thrower Operator (not a gunner), each seat controls one of the machine guns)
[X] Diesel

Gotta keep weight low and I'm sure our well-trained soldiers can handle it just fine.

I assume we can't stick a radio in this thing?
otherwise I'd go for a driver, a WSO, and a commander/RTO

-[X] Aircraft: The new BH-33Ls of the airforce use the powerful Škoda L engine, which puts out a massive 500 horsepower. Anything you slap that baby into will never need to fear lack of power, but they'll probably be pricey and eat a lot of duel.

Being a fuel hog is pretty much standard for any tank as is, and there already being a domestic line means there will be spare parts readily available.

And something sensible.

Clearly wired electric is the only sensible option.
With a generator placed securely in friendly trenches, this devastating vehicle can cross the no-man's land in remarkable silence, slip into the enemy trenches, and then just move forward, exterminating infantry all the while.
True, however I am almost certain that these tanks will be used in an actual conflict and knowing how well French 2 man tanks turned out....
And considering our tankette seems to follow the Carden Loyd tankette, it might just be a L3/33 L3/35 which is somehow worse, I'd rather the two man French tanks over that.

I don't know what you're talking about, the French are one of the most powerful militaries on the continent after the Great War! Surely they must know what they're doing.
Oh right my bad, they made the FT-17. Surely they must be onto something with their two man tanks, in fact we should mass produce a modernised FT-17. I'm sure it will do well against whatever the Bolsheviks will cook up.

Let's make the most cursed armored vehicle imaginable.

If we want full cursed we need to be able to take the tracks off and use it to pull carts on rail lines.

The OM5 ended up only making 60PS (59hp) in serial production because it was overstressed and kept destroying pistons. I am very tempted by the Ford engine, those things are dead simple and got used for everything.

- [X] Petrol: The Ford A 4-cylinder is a reliable, cheap, easily available engine that is used in plenty of civilian cars and trucks. It puts out 40 horsepower and ought to suffice for your vehicle, assuming that you keep the weight reasonable.

If this tank fails, we will likely get fired and the quest ends. Also Petrol Engines are small, cheap to make, compatible with our trucks so logistics is simpler, and is fairly safe. Any tank will burn if if got shot at enough times, which the enemy will do to confirm a kill. Especially since we have a flame thrower, so that tank will burn even if we used Diesel anyway.
