and i really could see using a GAU as the missing rotary assault cannon, basically just needs the right caliber ammo, mount it on a super size tank, send it to desert wars, oh wait, rad wars,,

I'm surprised this hasn't been done already IRL  ;)

probably tried, but failed from the spin of the barrels countering any attempt to turn the turret, and elevating it would suck,

and i don't think the m1 family of tanks is quite large enough

SheVa Tank anyone?

As for tank size for IRL, perhaps they can resurrect the old Panzer VIII "Maus"?

The BEST part about that pic is the Bun-Bun icon.

+1 to you sir ;)

John Ringo novels are my guilty pleasure.  But the SheVa tank may be made of many different alloys, but it's main component is PURE AWESOME!

The Bun-Bun SheVa, BTW, was used in ways that the vehicle was never designed for (Danger Close shooting from it's own warheads, and Mountain Warfare!), and survived far more than it's designer thought it ever would.  Although he had to check his notes on that one.

i doubt that, Maus was one of the least succesful tank designs of WWII, though if one wants to go all out the Landkreuzer P. 1500 Monster could be used. Was supposed to wield an 800 mm cannon. with that thing you wouldn't need any rotary  ;D
or use several mounted GAUs

Well, when you only have two manufactured, it's kind of hard to gauge how well they'd have worked.  :P

Also, I have always had a twisted Shadowrun dream of "weaponizing" the Phalanx Defense System the US Navy uses.

Our Rigger is an Aztecnology Air-Defense AI that went rogue.

It has a weaponized Phalanx system mounted on one of our vehicles.

Sick bastrd uses it on people. Never trust an AI.

Those weren't people, they were targets.  Not the AI's fault if it's sensors couldn't tell the difference.

actually not. this tank missed one of the most crucial qualities to be just remotly useful. it barely moved. It was so slow a running man could overtake it.
a tank that has no speed and maneuverability is useless.

A mobile bunker has it's uses :)

Maybe paint it with anti-enemy slogans and make the enemy wast bullets targetting it as a decoy paraded along the battlefield?
