Development Status #15

[h2]Dear Tankers,[/h2]Welcome to our 16th Development Status. You can see on what we were working the last two weeks.

Tellermine 42

Tellermine was a German-made anti-tank mine, fairly commonly used during WW2. It contained around 5.5kg of explosive and had a 91kg pressure activation fuze. It was able to blow tracks off of tanks and even destroy lighter armored vehicles. Tellermines had a unique feature that prevented disarming it, by instantly triggering an explosion. Not all mines had this mechanism, but it was indistinguishable from the normal fuze, so it was never safe to disarm the Tellermine.



In addition to the model, we have also prepared an animation of the explosion, check out how the mine deals with the oncoming tank!

Evacuation Animations

We have prepared an animation which shows evacuation from a tank. How do you like it?

Documentation driven development

One of the aspects of the production of Tank Squad is that we are putting great emphasis on keeping documentation. We write down essential know-how that we learn during the production. That helps in maintaining standardization for each process, avoiding mistakes, and keeps everything in order. We already have 320 pages in our internal wiki and it’s growing on a regular basis.

Hafthohlladung

Probably the most famous magnetic anti-tank device. Placed by hand on the target, the position of the magnets ensured that the shaped charge, when detonated, would strike the armor perpendicularly and at an optimal stand-off distance to maximize its anti-armor potential.



MP 40

We are working on a model of the MP 40 submachine gun. In the next statuses we will show you it in action!



Thank you and have a good weekend!
