FV242B Condor (🇬🇧 United Kingdom, HT-10, twin-barrel gun mechanics)
Note: These are still most likely Wargaming-made scrapped projects, so they will be posted there. Some of them have unfinished textures, likely because they were caught in the middle of the company split, and Lesta doesn’t seem particularly skilled at texturing, so they were left in that state, which is easy to notice. Meanwhile, the Sturmtiger appears to be fully completed, likely because it was finished long before the split. Looking at past trends, all content released by Lesta has originated from before the separation, either cut from Wargaming clients or delayed releases (see BZ-74-1, BZT-70 etc.)
Historical Reference:
The British FV242B tank project was developed to counter large-scale armored assaults by Warsaw Pact forces, which were anticipated under a new concept of warfare in Europe. The design featured powerful armor protection, high rate of fire, and the concentrated firepower of twin 105 mm guns. At the same time, the tank offered optimal mobility. The front hull was designed with angled armor similar to Soviet vehicles (a “pike nose” layout). Its cast turret, with a sharply sloped front, was intended to deflect incoming shells through ricochets. In all other aspects, the tank’s design remained true to traditional British principles. The emergence of ATGMs and the adoption of autoloaders eventually rendered the twin-barrel concept obsolete, and the global trend shifted toward developing main battle tanks. The project was canceled before a prototype could be assembled.
And what about the Mausekönig? Did it also exist before the separation or what?
