I really like mecha, especially gundam...I draw stuff too, but first I have to figure out tumblr's power, unless I say so, the stuff here aren't mine. Give credit where it's due.
I'll put up stuff of my own someday but most of them are at my...
The Cobra Class Destroyer is a torpedo boat used by the Imperial Navy and Basilikon Astra.
It is fast and manoeuvrable enough to get into a position from where its torpedoes will do most damage. However, due to its small size, large engine signature, and relatively poor armour, it does not stand up well to enemy fire. This shouldn’t be a problem however, due to the long range of a torpedo. Cobras act in squadrons of between two and six ships, making a torpedo volley from a squadron enough to cripple a large capital ship. It is the smallest independent Imperial warship, the smaller ones being carried aboard larger cruisers.
The Cobra has a pair of torpedo tubes in the prow, and a single weapons battery positioned to fire to the sides, and in front of the ship. The weapons battery is a purely defensive measure, for when the Cobra is attacked by enemy escorts. It is short ranged, and is almost never used to attack a capital ship, it simply is not powerful enough to do any real damage. Cobra Class Destroyers are often seen fighting alongside Space Marine formations.

If I had to describe Finland in one mammoth piece of machinery, I think the L-39 would suffice with the Suomi being 2nd place. Big, a mix of brutal and efficient and with a bitter hatred of anything vaguely communist leaning, this behemoth was intended to be a 20mm “PERKELE” deliverer to tanks and ended up being used more as a truck destroyer than anything else. And it came out RIGHT at the point when these kinda things stopped being useful.
Before this, the main Finnish anti-tank weapon was a combination of Bofors 37mm cannons and a prototype 13mm machine gun a-la the MG18 TuF. While it did kinda sorta work, Almo Lahti doubted its effectiveness and thus assaulted some drafting paper to make a 20mm anti-tank weapon. And also a 13mm machine gun because he could. He did, he released both, and surprise surprise the 20mm was better at stopping tanks.
While just barely in the Winter War, the L-39 would be heavily used in the Continuation War which was great because that had T-34′s and KV-1′s. So these big expensive guns were used primarily to blow up pillboxes, fuck with snipers, blow up open ports on tanks and even rigged to full auto and stuck with another to make a ghetto 20mm AA cannon. Because Finland.
It’s probably the most modern and actually useful anti tank rifle of WWII, given it’s using 20mm over things like .55 Boys, 8mm Panzerbusche, or 14.5mm. At the same time, it’s overkill. It’s not really man portable, you have to get someone else to move it and even then, it’s still heavy. The mags are 10 rounders and weigh as much as cinder blocks, the action requires you wind it and if you ever pass that trigger guard with your mortal hands, it will get revenge on you and beat your fingers with 20mm casings. It’s terrifically out of date, impractical as hell and yet still fun because it taps into your internal ape and internal ape like big thing go boom.
