I'm gettin silly with a modernized M4 Sherman. And not just the M50 the Israelis had.

The silliest one I can think of is the M4A1 Multibank-Shermans sent to the UK, turned into the Firefly-meme (small turret), resold to argentina as M4A1E6s (76mm crammed into the turret), and then someone got the bright idea to wedge the French 105mm guns from an AMX-13 into it because that worked so well for the before.

They then were sold to Paraguay, where they sat on vacation as the government collapsed.

The tank was then sold to the Czech Republic.

The journey of this particular Sherman Repotenciado started in the Detroit Tank Arsenal in 1943 where it was built. After its construction, it would be shipped to the United Kingdom and converted to a Sherman Firefly. Then, the Sherman would go to Belgium before being sold to Argentina in 1947. In Argentina it would receive the registration EA 03055 and later be converted to a Sherman Repotenciado in 1977. After the Repotenciados were phased out, an Argentinian dealer would acquire this particular vehicle. It was later bought by the KVH 16th Armored Division CZ and transported to the Czechia in 2018 where it would be reconverted to the original M4A4 variant and continue its service as a reenactment tank

There's also the Yugoslav 122mm gun Sherman.

And then there was the TAM... a Marder 1 hull pretending to be a Leopard 1 really hard.

Love me Frankenstein tanks. But was particularly thinking of this one:

That looks like Valkyria Chronicles.

After a long and hard thunk, I've settled upon a monstrosity of logic I shall dub a Tiran-6AG borne from surplus early-production Chonmas under the presumption that Isreal bought up and directly used Chonma-214/215/216s in the new war of attrition (of which there were estimated to be less than 500 of them compared to the glut of 2000 other models of Chonma).

But basically, by this point Isreal has kinda stopped using 105mm guns, Korea hasn't built a 125mm gun yet, and 115mm is kinda spoopy in the 2020s, and Isreal kinda has 120mm very much well-standardized. Which is quite the timeline to be in rather than Korea shipping those hulks off to Russia in the late 2020s.

Of note, these early Chonmas have pretty much universally been given extended turret bustles by Korea since the mid-1980s. Laser rangefinders... less universally-so. The '92 and '98 (Chonma III and IV) either required new turret production, or simply featured add-on armor seamlessly applied to the existing turret. However their rarity suggests no mass-production (so less than 100 of these).

Stats-wise, this means it'll have a combat-load of 35 120mm tank rounds and up to maybe a dozen ATGMs (likely a rack or two of 4x BGM-71 tubes plus a 4x reload). Plus a bunch of guns topside (14.5mm KPV, Mk-19, M2 Browning, etc)

I've pretty much figured out what all the crew are going to be and what tank they're in. Going to make room for upgrades, too.

I am actually almost finished with writing up the setting guide, so Armoured Fist will be the next thing on my plate, as far as RP's go.
I do have some other priorities; there's a big event for a social group I run coming up, as it's our ten-year anniversary, so we're going all out, and I'm putting a video together for part of it, and there's (just) under two weeks to go for that, so I have to put some priority on it.
But this (and Shattered Steel) are going to be going on alongside that, as I can't spend all my time editing video, and I'm confident it won't take me too long, as I deliberately haven't made it too complicated for myself (it's basically going to be a slideshow of photos from the previous ten years, with a few funny captions and asides thrown in with musical accompaniment!)

I managed to do better than I thought, and I've got the OOC up!

I'll see if I have the time.
