The IEL Tank Museum

A part of our history
IEL (International Engineer Legion) is a semi-open Discord server created in 2020 by a group of friends, fans of tank battles in Scrap Mechanic. The gameplay is based on simple rules: no glitches, no mods and a first-person view only, which makes the experience more immersive.

This guide is a tour of museum of tanks built according to the IEL rules. Although the rules have changed over time, these vehicles represent the history of our community.

Museum description


This museum was built for First person multicrew type tanks which do not use glitch welding or glitches.

It is the product of cooperation of many players across multiple servers putting their efforts, time and ideas to one common goal releasing on the New Year 2025.

Unfortunately, some of the tanks do not work anymore (on 0.4.0 version or higher) due to the game breaking updates. Also, not all the original IEL members, including the key ones, were able to join this project, so this is to some extent a “fan product”, but not a representative museum of the original IEL.

All the tanks are static for the optimization purposes.

The museum features a café on the top floor of the main building and a gift shop on the ground floor



A main exposition area (first exhibition hall)



A tank storage building (second exhibition hall)



A tank workshop



And a demonstration track



We all hope you will enjoy your stay at The Tank Museum as much as we loved building and fighting with these vehicles. Happy visiting!

Vehicle No.4
Name: T-560

Builder: Serzhant

Description: The T-560 (Blue T-62A inspired) was the first of my solid all rounder vehicles. Everything about it was adequate except its armour (back then armour wasn't really a thing anyways). We had quite a few battles in it and the vehicle always did well in its battles. No complaints came from the crew, although I should've added some vision ports for the loader. An Autoloading version of this vehicle was also built and used only once. Built in 2019

Vehicle No.8
Name: Steam tank

Builder: Benneh and DarkSquid

Description: Frustrating to drive and infuriating to aim, this particular steam tank is certainly one of a kind. Initially created as a joke, it has an undeniable charm, and a certain warmth. Or so say the inventors, after a few hours by the boiler.

This tank combines innovative technology with robust armor and firepower, making it a valuable asset on the battlefield. It features 2 main guns, which allows it to achieve a high shooting rate. Its composite armor provides excellent protection against anti-tank threats while maintaining a weight that allows for impressive mobility.

Vehicle No.22
Name: T-560

Builder: Serzhant

Description: TThe FV0002 Nazebl (Purple twin turrets super heavy) was one iteration of my Vezhdekhod FV0002 series of vehicles which had a unique driving system. Under the vehicle were rows of wheels and a wheel on each side of the tank lifted one side of it to make the tank turn. This driving system prevented ''bottom outs''. A call for more 4 crew tanks were made and this was my contribution. I do remember one very fond game where we were up against 2 other tanks and the Nazebl effectively became a battleship with both turrets facing one side and unleashing a slurry of gunfire towards a very petrified enemy. As far as i remember it participated in 2 or 3 battles with 1 win and 2 losses. The main complaint coming from the driver who did not know how to drive the vehicle effectively due to its unique driving system. Built in 2020

Vehicle No.23
Name: VT1

Builder: OwainS

Description: VT1 is a fully OwainS tank built in the fall of 2024. It has two large bomb cannons in a small hull. Fast, small and powerful - this is about this tank. Still works after the wedge update.

Vehicle No.33

Vehicle No.34
Name: Shrew X-1

Builder: Rocketenginetoaster

Description: The Shrew X-1 is a lightly armored main battle tank with a standard 222 explosive cannon with a single aiming gun. It features a simplified steering mechanism involving 2 buttons that supply torque to each track though only in one direction, limiting its mobility to not being able to reverse. It also features 2 main vision ports, one for the driver, and one for the gunner, both covered by armored glass, with 1 additional view port present on the side of the turret

History:
The Shrew X-1 is an experimental british tank that was designed in the late 1970s by a private orginisation, Rodent motor company. Despite somewhat optimistic predictions by various tank designers and few combatants, it gained a poor reputation with operators on its initial trial runs during the battle of [Redacted] due to its limited mobility and light armor. As a result, it never saw any active combat since and has yet to make a difference in any siginificant combat scenario. overall the Shrew X-1, designed by an inexperianced and un-informed company, was simply a bad tank in function, lacking the armor or speed/mobility that would make the tank useful in combat against other tanks or any infantry, resulting its immediate retirement by the end of 1975, with redesigns being considered the only potential solution.

Also credit to Dushaman for putting in some memorable classic tanks he built years ago. I do remember being in them for some battles.

I wish some creators would put more effort into their descriptions as some tanks are built very interestingly and i do wish to know more about them. I would like to boast a little bit by saying My T-560 is the oldest of all tanks in the museum
