EMIL 1951 - Budget Grade

The EMIL project was a series of vehicle designs aimed at replacing the outdated Strv m/42 which started around 1951. With the appearance of the Soviet supposed super tank, the IS-3, additional armor than previous vehicles was prefered... Which lead to a development of an oscillating turret separated into a shield and weapon mounting which in comparison to typical ocolating designs gave it an impressive 14 degrees of trench digging gun depression. While the front of the vehicles had very impressive armor values, particularly if hull down while abusing that gun depression... the sides and rear were very thin, 20-30mm of armor thin...

Thanks to the lack of armor everywhere but on its front the actual size of the whole vehicle is incredibly small, ending with it being shorter than the IS-3 by a tenth of a meter, and weighing in under 30 tons. It hardly classified as a heavy tank and the turret + weapon system made up about half the machine's weight. Hydraulic springs for the suspension were used based off of the bofors Lvkv 44 SPAA putting them in line to be later used in the Strv S project. Tward 1952 the entire development shifted into making a more true heavy tank design in growing fear of the IS-3.

Various hull designs were looked at but eventually settled on using a pike nose similar to the IS-3 in order to get the most out of the sloped armor. The EMIL 2 & 3 were planned to have a smooth bore 15cm gun with a dual autoloading system. Each would have housed 7 shells in each loader, adding in a round in the chamber would have given it a 15 round burst of 150mm HEAT, HE, or APDS ammunition. A 10,5cm autoloader was developed in the background incase the 15cm failed.

A vehicle was later made from the Kranvagen's hull which turned into the Bandkanon 1, an artillery piece that featured the autoloader intended for the EMILs fitted to a 150mm gun that could lob all 15 47kg shells down range in 45 seconds at the cost of not having its own ammo storage and taking 2 minutes to reload.

The Budget EMIL 1951 is a machine built for multiverse. Its 198 blocks total allowing multiple people to be using It or other budget tanks that are balanced between each-other for combat. The 1951's main features are its mediumesk mobility, punchy gun, small size, strong turret, and extremely good gun depression. It however has a weak hull, and its turret will not stand up to higher caliber shots.

Mobility is meant to mimic the EMIL 1951 in world of tanks~
