Nobody really disputed this. I never said it was supposed to be any good, just that it had to be designed and deployed. Having a worthless piece of equipment seems to have been rather common in modern armies.
Having a useless vehicle is less so, in fact so many get dropped that it takes an exceptionally good vehicle to even see production (let alone deployment).
Yes, but ironically the Leman Russ is a design that would have any tank built after 1940 rolling onto its roof and laughing.
Seriously, regardless of its effectiveness in 40k, the Leman Russ is a bulky, overly tall design with overexposed treads, armor that will be weakened by the sponsons by default, and judging by its shape, will have rather limited ammunition capacity. At best, a design like this would be some cheap one-off by some European nation in the 30s that would be blown to bits by properly built Panzers once Blitzkrieg comes around. After WW2 sorts the wheat from the chaff when it comes to tank design, it'd be relegated to another laughable failure.Yes, but ironically the Leman Russ is a design that would have any tank built after 1940 rolling onto its roof and laughing.
Either that, or it would make quite a ruckus until a a Stuka or two decided to have it for lunch.
So why not use the same logic to build a Leman Russ-like tank?
And what made you think I asked for a Leman Russ after WW2? By the "logic" of its design, it could only be a WWI tank.
Not the same, but similar. The same design would require laser weapons to exsist.
And thus it's not getting anything like the performance it's stated as having.
Do you think I`m stupid? No seriousely, answer the question. You either haven`t read my posts at all or you just assume I`m stupid. I NEVER ASKED FOR ITS IN-UNIVERSE PREFORMANCE. In fact, I specifically said it could be a total faliure in real life.
Geez, calm down.
No, a tank that looks like the Leman Russ is pretty much impossible, even for WW1, it's simply too tall to be worth considering, most of the tanks of the WW1 era were less than 3 metres high, and pretty much all were less than 4 metres high, and most had a much greater length:height ratio, to provide trench-crossing abilities.
