Introduction

Welcome to Cappu's tank homepage. This will be the central for all my writing about tanks in any shape or form it may take. For the most part, this will be fictional histories i've invented to partly justify my designs in the video game Sprocket: Tank Design, and also host a few (probably very rambly) pages about real tank designs, my takes on what makes a pretty tank as opposed to an ugly one, etc.

I've attempted to make this page seem like a stereotypical blog, although it's a bit too simple as of now, but it shall do.

It has been a small while now since i've actually played Sprocket for a combination of factors, but i've lost my interest for the game now that my justification for playing it is mostly gone. I have wanted to move to Blender, and did use it for a short while, but i have since lost motivation for that. I fear my interest for tanks in general may be waning, but they are still pretty cool. It'll probably return. I'll still put all my random bullshit here tho

The FV-FT 4082 Ardent (Later Ardent I) is an Aldren main battle tank (MBT) that saw service in the Aldren Army from 1980 to 2001. The Ardent was in some ways a further development of the former Aldrenian main battle tank Resolute, and is based on the same hull and chassis. The Ardent was replaced by the Ardent II as it entered service in 1991, only 11 years after the tank was first placed into service. The Ardent II was only placed into service in a limited pre-series production, however, and only around 50 units were in official service before the Ardent I’s full replacement in 2001. At its peak of service, around 510 Ardent Is had been in active use by the Aldren Army.
