NI Tank Russian Bob Semple

Post by ZakTheBuilder1 »

The NI tank was an improvised Soviet armoured fighting vehicle, based on an STZ-3 agricultural tractor, manufactured in Odessa during the Siege of Odessa in World War II.

More history
When the army fighting on the outskirts of Odessa (the city defences held out for seventy-two days before the army pulled back) started experiencing shortages in tanks, the workers from the factory decided to build a fighting vehicle of their own design. Aided by the workers from other factories, January Uprising workers built a large metal box and put it on the tractor. Also added was a traversable turret with either a mountain gun or a large-calibre machine gun. The armour was a sandwich of thin naval steel or boiler plate and wood or rubber sheeting to improve protection against small arms. The resulting machine was unlike any other fighting vehicle of the time and made a loud noise when it moved.

Armament was varied to whatever was on hand, including machine guns ShVAK cannon, sub-turrets from T-26 Model 1931 tanks, new turrets with 37 mm Model 15R mountain guns or 45 mm anti-tank guns.

Stats
Most likely a equivalent of the Bob semple but maybe having upgrades.
These upgrades would be the armament, and mobility.
The stock version would have machine guns like the dinner plate 28
The upgraded version would have a T-26 turret and gun, with a better motor for mobility

The Bob semple was bad but this at least has some smooth sides so it should have a little bit more armor than it. And it was mass produced to fight German panzer lll's
