So here we are: you are going to build your tank but you don't know anything about it. The easiest thing to do now is to see how others proceed... Let's have a look at a tank that is very popular these days on the roads of Stalingrad and that has been totally massed produced recently.
Ok my bad, that's just a drawing my friend did yesterday... Doesn't even start... So here it is: THE TIGER I!

So what do we have here... Basically a box with tracks and a hugeass artillery gun on top of it.

So now that we know how a tank is made we will start doing one ourself. Let's go:
To start we need a base.... Let's use something very common in our communist fields...

Let's quickly thank our Chinese friends for the ressources and postcards they sent us. Definitely no cultural control going on there...
So now that we have our vehicle, we shall add some tracks because we need to be able to crush our ennemies without getting stuck in it. Wouldn't be a good thing to get stuck into enemy Sauerkraut.

There we go... we have out tank... but they have the guns... and far from me the idea to be French but if I could get on the battlefield without having to run away chased by 50cals, that would be great....

So I've sent the request to our engineers let's see what comes out of it.

That's not to bad... But I feel like we are missing something... Let's see....

So we need a gun right? Remember the Tiger I...
See that big gun he has? That should be powerful... Let's see what we have... Oh I know... We still have some old artillery pieces in the garage, I'm sure they'll fit... somehow...

That's perfect, if they don't blow up straight away with that shot I'm going back to write my red postcards... That are once again far from any kind of Cultural control and population propaganda... what am I saying.... propaganda isn't even a thing... did someone say something? I didn't hear it.... forget it...

Here we go, our tank is ready, we now just have to turn our potato fields into factories, mass produce this beauty more than Chinese people reproduce and we'll be ready to beat everyone in this war... Hope to see you on the battlefield commander.
