Late in GWWII, the Bullfrog APC was made to replace the original Flak Track. While it had better armour and better armed with a pair of 14.7mm KPV anti-air guns, it's shoddy construction and complex 8x8 setup was filled with mechanical faults and thus, was costly to maintain. The whole vehicle was much more expensive to produce anyway, and this was certainly putting a strain on the Soviet's failing economy. As a result, only a handful of them saw action and the rest were stored away throughout the end of the war. Recently the Bullfrogs have been pulled out from storage and a large number of them have been converted into Repair Rigs in order to aid tank battalions. The original blueprint has been revised and used to create an entirely new kind of armoured transport following the demand for an APC capable of all-terrain travel. This new vehicle was named the Sickle. A notable difference from it's predecessor was that instead of wheels, it uses a pair of corkscrew drives for propulsion, similar to the Krokodil-class landing craft. This enables it to traverse both land and sea efficiently. It had considerably more armour installed without compromising it's spacious passenger compartment and a newer engine to support it's heavier weight. For some firepower, a pair of Kornet Missile Launchers are it's standard armament, useful for providing infantry with some anti-armour support. All of this new traits made the Sickle a very versatile yet reasonably priced APC which can be effectively used to support infantry or vehicles in almost any situation.

Is this based upon his Troyanov? It took me out some time to realize what's made by Issly on this at all (and if I don't notice the corkscrews themselves, and hadn't seen his Troyanov, I certianly wouldn't figure it out on my own). _________________ "If you didn't get angry and mad and frustrated, that means you don't care about the end result, and are doing something wrong." - Greg Kroah-Hartman

The whole thing is Issly's. I just removed the wheels from his Wolf APC and added in the corkscrews from his Troyanov (wasn't it simply called the Nuclear Tank? Cuz the Troyanov was a different tank made by Tony). Of course the turret was redesigned by me. _________________ The future belongs to The Forgotten!

Ah true, I mixed Object 279 and 289. 279 was the Troyanov in RL (main designer was Troyanov). _________________ "If you didn't get angry and mad and frustrated, that means you don't care about the end result, and are doing something wrong." - Greg Kroah-Hartman
