But

Can it hug you

🤔

like right under turrets and cupolas

layer of thermite on top of the HE, gets blasted in to the armor before igniting

Then the armor itself becomes molten

Making follow up shots more effective on the location

Most metals lose something like 60% of their strength at maybe 70% of their melting temp

Poor

what about cost

also I'm giving MBT's bullshit magic ceramic armour

thermite will burn through literally everything

And even if it doesn't it's going to be putty

Because of how fucking hot it is

Well yeah

IIRC there's a theoretical metal alloy that can withstand something like 2500*C

how can i make thermite at home

i know i can make napalm with styrofoam and gasoline

@RoflTank

Thermite slaps are fun

Thermite is litterally rust and aluminum oxide

Thermite is easy, at least, the cheap stuff

What's the future for MBT designs

Throw in some magnesium to speed up ignition

EXPERIMENT: 500000°c HOT THERMITE X COMMUNIST

I'm assuming bigger for bigger guns and and range

Manganese oxide is better

Then a little nitro to make putty

Ehh

Iron is nice if you want to cause secondary fires

Because it causes the molten iron to literally explode

The recipie I always ran with was iron and aluminum with magnesium powder and nitro

@Innaswamp VC?

Pooping

>tfw no mech with pauldron mounted weapons

@RoflTank I have an idea for a barrel that better resists dirt blockages

okay
