Talhoffer also had some designs that were very difficult to figure out even by modern scholars. It is thought that he used the strange angles and construction mistakes were on purpose. Anyone interested in his designs would still have to pay him for building them. I think the 'tank design' that is pushed by horses was by him and I would be careful to disregard the design. I don't think anyone would wish to challenge the front gun and the side guns (especially if you use small shot) will ensure the enemy will keep his distance. Sure, the horses are vulnerable, but you could use it to force a hole into the enemy formation and if you have it follow up with troops they could provide defense for the horses. He also had a design for a functional diving suit. It is thought that the plan was to get a spy or saboteur through a moat or cross a river among other possible uses.

funny thing about davinci's designs: he intentionally put critical flaws into nearly all of his sketches/renditions/etc because people were *CONSTANTLY* stealing his shit and quite frankly a lot of the stuff he came up with was stuff he never wanted to have actually built. the sucess rates of his actual prototypes and even a lot of the details in his artwork heavily support the idea that the majority of these critical issues were intentional. Tesla was pretty similar come to think of it, for exactly the same damned reason, eddison was quite literally the father of industrialized patent theft to the point where he managed to crowd out and outright kill off most of the thousands of other assholes hounding the area to steal anything trying to make it's way through the patent offices.

Being 80's Warhammer it is of course brightly coloured with lots of standards and insigna painted on.

Dont forgot the TANKs

16:18 As a child I designed my own tank and it looked VERY similar to this, I feel really good about myself. Hahaha! Now I love your video buuuut on this particular tank? Unless those slits over the guns were added by the person who made the model, and the picture with the plans are made by someone other than the designer, It was designed to where you could see out of it. The tiny vertical slits above all of the cannons and guns were more than enough for someone to be able to see from especially considering the thing is basically two giant wheels. If a forward gunner needed to see something it would be nothing to stop and pivot left and right to pan the area, if the guns could not swing on their own, which honestly it does look like they could. Or even better serpentine until you sight something to shoot. Anything bigger than a slit on a tank is 5 alarm stupid when you actually have to have a person looking out of the literal HOLE in the tank... The only thing that would have honestly have been iffy, was the fact that it was gas tight..... Back then? Gas tight might have translated into AIR-TIGHT... and THAT might be a problem. Especially since I am willing to bet the engine heat alone might have made it unbearable.... Not to mention poor ventilation in the event of exhaust leaks. But who knows? Perhaps they would have worked all of that out? I wanna build one now.

That "nuke-proof" concept reminds me of the turret of the more modern Merkava variants. Sloped armor gonna slope, I guess.

To be fair, that one where they put a boat on top of a tractor looks like it could've been put together by four men in an afternoon for $1000, which is essentially the tank philosophy that won WW2.

@14:25: That Tsar Tank looks like the inspiration for the IG-227 Hailfire-class droid tank from Star Wars.

I feel like having a lot of cannons regardless if all were operational or possible to fire was more of a deterrent. Probably was purposely made to make enemies fear it.

With the DaVinci tank. It’s not that the design was necessarily flawed, rather DaVinci is known for purposely putting “traps” in his blue prints. That way if his blue prints were ever stolen they couldn’t be used without the proper corrections being made.

Never keep guns in your navel - if one goes off you won't be needing any sex change operation, it definitely would be a mess and it really isn't fun. Naval guns, on the other hand, are a whole different thing. Spelling is important sometimes.

2:47 it's possible those are 4 wheels on a single middle piece of wood instead of at the corners. That could have given solutions to the turning problem. It looks like the wheels balance on a thin pivot. Unless those fixed ones are designed only for relatively fixed positions like castles or large ramming devices. They could be counter weapons. If they were not turnable they could be designed that way to allow stronger guns or bigger ammo or something. There are uses for specialized weapons.

lindy. There is a vidio somewhere of some bodgers in one of lenardo's tanks. Aparently it runs quite well and was great on the relatvly flat ground around the city. part of the idea of having so many cannon was becuse it was REALLY slow to reload them so you fired one gun then swiveled the next into position, and by the time you got round to the 1st the battle would be over. they estimated that the wooden armour would be afective against what cannons of the time exsisted.

Yet none of these tanks have even remotely mentioned being added. Like 50% of the "tanks" here are pre-tank (What I mean by that is they were made before 1916, when the first tank was invented.) and the others are ridiculous. The only one that might even have a slight 000000.1% chance is the nuclear tank thingy. Its from the appropriate time and not a giant like the Ratte.
