Description
A Self Propelled Artillery vehicle based off my 1930s Tank's chassis. Its main armament is a 125mm howitzer. Its does its job, but it's open top does make it vulnerable.Related content

A.K.A "Tank"
It'd be impressive if this were 1912.

A self propelled gun is not a Tank. Tanks provide Line of Sight fire support and to engage enemy vehicles and infantry at compartively close range. Self propelled guns are artillery weapons that provide mobile indirect artillery fire and are armored against shrapnal and small arms fire.

Sounds like a good idea...in World War 1.

Self Propelled Howitzers are still used today. Open topped ones were used during WWII (M7 Priest)

Yeah, the ones used today are called M1 Abrams. They're more commonly known as "tanks".

The Abrams is a Tank, not a Self Propelled Howitzer. They are two distinct things. This is a self propelled Howitzer-[link]

And? They're both armored vehicles with large-caliber artillery. The only difference is one fires a bag-charge projectile with a 50mm larger bore, and the other has a rifled barrel. And given the specs between the two, an Abrams outclasses a howitzer in all respects but primary gun size. But that's getting off of the point... which I kinda stopped caring about after I got into reading about MOABs.
So... whatever.

They also serve completely diferent roles on the battlefield. That is like saying that two lengths of metal with sharp edges and a handle at one end are the same thing, even if one is a steak knife and the other a cutlass.

So, are you one of those people that blows through a four-way stop and then tries to convince the cop that pulled you over that you didn't see the signs? Because, by last reply was a big red, octagonal, STOP sign.
Also, people have been killed with steak knives. Especially if the steak knife is the same length, cross-section, and design as a cutlass.

Terms like "Tank" and "Self Propelled Gun" have precise meanings and refer to specific catagories of things. They have distinct functions. Historians, Engineers and Military People know the diference and don't confuse the two of them. Occasionally people in a hurry or laymen may use a missuse a term thought of as more generic to get acrosss a general idea. What you did was saying something bare facedly wrong in perceived 'correction', then insisting on being wrong when I told you that what you said was erronious and then stuck to your guns when i showed you that you were in error. I am sorry, but I will call people when they do stuff like that.

Makes me think of German Nashhorn (good spelling?) or another one, I can't remember its name...

Elefant or however you spell it in German?

Yes, the Elefant...
I was thinking of the Nashorn: [link]
And I don't know if it was the same vehicule, or a variant, or two distinct vehicules...
