Hello all. After some messing around with some tank designs. I finally decided to attempt a different one
The Mark A tank was developed during ww1 to complement the much slower heavy tanks of ww1. The tank which was nicked named "whippet" was powered by two "Tylor" 45-hp london bus engines. One motor powered each track. It could reach a top speed of 8.3 mph or 13.4 km/h. The first tank was ready by February of 1917, and was ordered into production. It was March of 1918 before they saw action. It was armed with 4 hotchkiss machine guns
The tank proved difficult to drive. as the driver had to juggle constantly with each engine clutch, and in action many where lost because they lost control.
They soon proved their selves in action tho. As the most famous record was of a tank named "musical box" spent 9 hours cruising German rear lines gunning down unsuspecting rear echelon troops, before it was finally knocked out by a field gun.
(source from book I have called " The illustrated encyclopedia of weapons of world war 1")
