WW1 tank concept - good against barb wire trenches

[@QSaranis]

Except that the design wasn't canceled until after 1940

Not really considering that it had to come to a full stop in order to change gears. I can quite easily see it getting stuck in a trench and being unable to climb out again.

It would have been too short for trench crossings.

[@GaryCameron]

Except it was high and unstable. You would have to hit the trench straight on.

During ww1, the british built the first prototype of a tank nicknamed Little Willy. It was built out of a tractor exactly like the Bob Semple. Little Willy was rejected because it could not accomplish it's main goal of crossing trenches.

Laugh all you guys want. You bunch are just like the civilians at the time. Bob Sempel unlike the other fools didn't sit on his ass and wait to get rolled over. He did what he can to find a solution for their lack of tanks in the case Japan invades. He had a will to win and not one of submission like the rest. Good for him and glad he was never discouraged. Even if it fails, at least he can die knowing he tried rather than not.

[@R4V3-0N]

YLW Pyro Not the worst, and not the strangest. There is tanks out there with only 1 tracks and tanks that are so large that they are technically no longer even designated as tanks (T-42, for eg) This thing is as effective as the majority of tanks in japan and china. (china used mainly WWI or intrawar tanks, japan never made good ones) Considering the fact this tank is mainly a shell that can put on any tractor in NZ (lots of farms here, lots of tractors). This effectively can be used to give a lot of tanks to the nation quickly and it would be effective against the Japanese troops.
