Naming a tank Strelok 03/20/16 (Sun) 22:45:17 78f6ee No.335207

A friend of mine is writing a book in a diesel punk universe in which the British are far more advanced than other nations and are imperialistic.

The tank in question is the M18 hellcat with the 76mm cannon. the crew is a group of mercs and we have already discussed customization, however we dont know about a name. think sly, vain, and greedy, what would a group of mercs name their tank?

The tank is factory new and equipped with a 76mm gun, but what would you do to improve the performance of the tank as well?

Sneaky bitch.

Seeing that its brand new and having none of the armor, I would go with "the kitten" or something like that idk.

Cheeky Bastard Seems Fit

And for armor wise do what the core of engineers did with the super pershing weld on more spaced armor

Generally you want something from British history or myth.

I nominate "Green Silk" or "Gawain's Girdle"

Kebab removers were the last to use Hellcats, and the last to offer an upgrade package. The only Hellcat variant currently in service is a Yugoimport variant in Venezuela, with night sights, a new fire control system, and thermal sleeves for the gun it completely changes the engagement envelope.

Then call it Von Steuben. A Prussian officer in the American revolutionary war who pretty much made the US army a thing (he was accused of being gay, but there's no proof to the validity of these contemporary claims)
