So interesting thing will be training while a witch is here and during winter since our school is literally on the lake.

I mostly picked that because combined with strength it makes us a megane nerd who's also really thicc and stronk. Which is a funny image in my mind.

Why would you be worried? Your first tanks are some of the finest in the world!

you laugh, but the humble Renault FT (and variants, and foreign knockoffs) actually was one of the finest tanks in the worldWhy would you be worried? Your first tanks are some of the finest in the world!

@7734 - I'm looking over your system reference document and I'm having a bit of trouble with making a tank. The whole point-buy thing makes sense to me, but I don't really have any way to put these numbers (for example, 8 front armor, gun calibre 6) to real-life equivalents. I want to build a Hellcat tank destroyer which means going fast, having an excellent gun, and armor that will stand up to a heavy MG at best but I can't get a feel for what that would mean in-game. In other words, I'm having trouble interpreting these abstracted stats into relatable terms like "This tank is extremely fast relative to others" or "This tank has a really good gun". I think it would help a lot if there were a few (4? 5? 6?) pre-made tanks at each level, ideally ones that map closely to real-world equivalents.

[X] Strength. Be they barbells or bags flower, you can lift, carry, haul, and throw with the best of them.
[X] History. Every effect has a cause, and the chain of dominos goes back further than writing can ever find.
History seems useful in the field of tankery, since it's how we'll ID enemy tanks in-game, which will be useful to those of us who are into military history (I tend to check out once guns become a thing, unfortunately. No Romance to the things!)
Why Strength?...Juxtaposition between brains and brawn.

This is designed around an intramural sport, so yes, there are safety systems. I can't see why anyone would assume otherwise.
Yeah, that'll need some fluff for when I fix point buy on armor. Guns are (roughly) one inch bore per caliber rating- the odd spot is 90mm guns being caliber 4- while armor is unexplained so I can have a seamless transition between face hardened plate, early, and late composite armor arrays versus various types of AP shell; which is another abstraction so I don't need to deal with slug versus composite-rigid versus sabot versus HEAT versus HESH versus whatever the fuck the Indians use and you hopefully get this idea! @Winged_One² and I have had several discussions on this, and the long story short is using more fidelity would require me to write ten or eleven different armor/shell interactions, and that's going to be almost as much handwaving as this since there'd inevitably be a dive into RHAe and that cesspool.
Tl;dr- good armor make shell go bonk

Don't forget distance and angling effects on armor!
These could maybe be done narratively, or by adding a random amount to armor to account for shot geometry.

There's literally no way to model that without modeling tank geometry, and to quote a professional:
I was doing good to model in distance here, and even that is a simplification of the first time I modeled it because v1 was literally unplayable.
