T22 Cataphract Fictional Concept Tank

A fictitious tank designed by Jamison Cunningham! The idea behind the design was apparently intended to be "nationally androgynous". In other words, it is meant to have no clear influence from exclusively Western or Eastern design philosophies.

I love the look of the tank, it looks very practical and realistic. It's something I could easily see being produced and fielded by modern militaries. But I feel that Jamison failed with his attempt at creating a nationally androgynous tank. Personally, I feel that it is very clearly very heavily inspired by Western design with a heavily protected turret, rear blowout panels and the turret placed far forward so the gun is not obstructed by obstacles when turning around corners.

Though, I will give credit on the lack of the iconic rear NATO hump. This is still an amazing design and I'm very impressed at the detail and thought gone into it!
