[Wes]

I need a name for this thing.

I plan to develop it further as it gets used ICly. I ended up putting two on the Sakura after the crew had to call for a taxi on Lor. It's based on the German Wiesel (the cutest tank ever).

Typically, this is a 35mm machinecannon...

Whenever I think of a machine cannon, I think of the Phalanx CIWS and its awesomely awesome and intimidating buzzing sound when it fires. I'm not sure how the 35mm machine cannon sounds, but you could pick something that buzzes and is small as the name for the tank. To keep with the Japanese theme of Yamatai, you could call it the "suzumushi."

1.7 and 2.5 meters don't give much room for more then one small person, when you're dealing with a tank Wes. Unless those are then interior dimensions aswell as the space allocated for the tanks engine, gun and misc. systems.

Tank Police?

In MY SARP?

It's more likely than you think...

 

[Doshii Jun]

There will be no Bonapartes. Period.

 

[Fred]

The "Piglet".

 

[Wes]

1.7 and 2.5 meters don't give much room for more then one small person, when you're dealing with a tank Wes.

It's about the same dimensions as the real-life Wiesel, which has a crew of THREE.

 

[Abwehran Commander]

Remember everyone 2 meters is about six feet, it's actually a lot of space.

 

[Kairi]

The "Neko Litter Box" would be appropriate slang used by parties less than enthused about Yamatai's favorite bioweapon.

Remember everyone 2 meters is about six feet, it's actually a lot of space.

Two metres is closer to 7 feet than 6 feet, and rests in between.

Interesting design. I don't know that I want to suggest any names just yet.
