WWI Mark V tank (Mk.II)

About the Mark tanks

Easily distinguisable by their parallelogram shaped tracks and turrets on both sides of the tank. this tank was developed as a new, never seen before method of breaking the WW1 stalemate. The shape was ment to easily cross trenches and if possible, climb out of them too. thanks to its side turrets it could fire into the passing trench for optimal firepower. Sadly, same as all other WW1 tanks, they were prone to breaking and got stuck in the mud easily. their effectiveness became so low in such a short time Germany postponed their own Tank projects as the soldiers could easily handle them. It was not untill the Battle of Cambrai that the Mark tanks finally were put in their most effective terrain: open, unflooded, flat terrain. in addition to the idea of transporting the tanks as close to the frontline before activating them (so less chance of failure while moving to the frontline) made them more and more effective! In the end, the Mark tanks were a true icon of its time.

Improvements over the previous model

- Drastically reduced collision between the tracks and armor
- added unsprung suspension
- smooth and realistic appearance with the Tank armor skin
- Armor around the guns, which have much more power (5 compared to 1.8)
- front and back MG
- tracks are overall more durable
- lost 111 blocks (from 777 to 666)
- nice gun periscopes
- smoke exhaust
- while still the same real Mark shape and feeling!
