Heer (German army) soldiers on board a Sturmgeschütz III Ausf. G2 with a 105mm Sturmhaubitze 42 L/28. The gun is equipped with a muzzle brake off the light field howitzer 105mm leFH 18/40, uncharacteristic for this type of StuG III. Probably Eastern Front, 1943
The project to build the first armoured attack vehicle in the Gotha Empire spanned nearly three decades, a low priority at first, but fierce fighting against the Macchi Republic accelerated the project, went from concept sketch to deployment in six short months. The Type 1 reflects the idea that the tank ought to be a sort of mobile form of the concrete pillboxes coming into use at the time, though plagued by many problems, it was successful enough that it soon became the most produced tank in the war. It's official acronym is “SbRd-AnZg Ausf I”, this is ignored by everyone outside of official communications.
The Wandelburg was wildly successful and saw widespread production and deployment, but it was obvious from its first use that it had serious deficiencies, its successor, the Rammbock, is a refinement than revolution, it has half as many machineguns, mostly relied on the one mounted in a casemate on a right sided cupola that can cover a wide arc, it's also over a metre shorter, with improved flared armour, a smaller crew, and better all-terrain capability.

I'm not dead, I'm just currently in China with my family on a vacation (I have a VPN to post here), and personal interests distract me away from writing here.
I also want to say this about SAGAU: Imagine the creator/reader plays World of Tanks/World of Tanks Blitz or something like that alongside Genshin Impact
And thus when they get thrown into Teyvat they just wake up and at their side is a T-34
Or even worse, a Panzer Kpfw. II Ausf. J
Or worst of all this thing
(Guess its name in the comments if you want)
Now, the big gimmick would be ammo and crew, since tanks have limited ammo and need more than one man to efficiently use them. Here's how I think they'd work if the reader had these:
Tanks can be swapped out (if the reader bought more than one), but only if the reader is outside of it.
The reader can buy new tanks using Mora (let's say that 10 Mora = 1 Credit) while primogems can be used as gold (let's say that 3 primogems = 1 Gold). Experience can be gained by doing things with the tanks such as driving them around and shooting at things.
Since only the reader controls their tank, if the reader is injured the tank has reduced efficiency in all aspects. Modules, however, still function as they do in World of Tanks the same when damaged.
The reader uses a tablet to move and shoot their tank. They get a third-person view of everything and can zoom in for better aiming.
Tanks reload their guns via robotic arms. This also goes for how modules are repaired.
The reader can use a tank's other weaponry besides its main cannon because otherwise tanks with multiple guns would have their firepower gone to waste.
I'll probably write something on this and you all can as well lmao
Just imagine the acolytes fighting with their usual stuff and then reader pulls up in one of these iron machines
