It's possible that it isn't that cramped. When it comes to being cramped, I suspect that when they designed it for Space Marine, the Lascannon sponsons and possibly the turret were automated just like in Predator. It just needed to be big and mean and exist in large numbers.
Leman Russ didn't need sloped armour when it was invented because it was designed for fighting hordes of aggressive subhumans and their ramshackle vehicles. Predator's light armour was already good enough against most Ork weapons. With how dangerous plasma, rockets, railguns, etc all are, you want thick sloped armor to give the maximum amount of armor between you and that shot as possible.Įxcept that like most of vehicles, Leman Russ is a relic. There is NEVER a reason to make a tank with a high profile and little sloped armor, ESPECIALLY in 40k. Its barely slope armor is just going to take the fearsome A-T weapons of 40K head on rather than deflecting them away. Its profile is utterly ridiculous and makes it stick out like a sore thumb. The tank is utterly cramped and severely limits the amount of ammunition that can be stored inside. Its engine block appears to be barely armored. Wyzilla wrote: Bro do you even tank? The Leman Russ is a singularity of utter stupidity in armor design.
