Humor aside, this is the Falcon(the flying one) and the Aerie which are among the strangest vehicles proposed by the US right next to the\u00a0DAPRA \u201chumvee-copter\u201d<\/a>\u00a0in my opinion. Back in 1955 the Ordnance Tank Automotive Command(OTAC) designed a new medium tank, a light airborne tank, and an aerial recon vehicle\/carrier of said aerial vehicle.<\/p>\n

The 1.5 ton Falcon was powered by a radial engine and was to have the flight characteristics of a helicopter(VTOL). It could hover or could fly at speeds near 161 km\/h. The Falcon was armed with a .30 caliber MG and ten 4.5 inch rockets(basic rockets in use at the time). 25.6 mm of titanium armor was to protect the Falcon\u2019s pilot. \u00a0A parachute feature was also developed.<\/p>\n

The Aerie tracked vehicle was based on the Rex tank(the medium tank of the OTAC which \u00a0later helped in the T95\u2032s development\u2013a subject for another day) and weighed ~20 tons. The Aerie and the Falcon did not progress very far in development and there is a near certainty these won\u2019t be in WoT ever, would be a good laugh though.<\/p>\n

The Maus ha\"\"d these armor values:<\/p>\n

\nMaus Armor according to Panzer Tracts 6-3 (Jentz\/Doyle)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I ran across a few threads recently that stated the Maus in WoT has had its armor nerfed from real life. In actuality it is the other way around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
