ground vehicles Ba-11 & Ba-11D

[CaID 8,988]

 

This Suggestion is in support of the Armored Cars research line project

 

I would like to suggest the last armored car designed by zhorskiy, the Broneavtomobil-11 (BA-11)

Introduction

the Ba-11 was the continuation to the less successful Ba-5 and was designed to replace the BA-10. the Ba-11 offer a better armor with a better slope. at the opposite of the other BA of his class, the Ba-11 was bassed on the ZIs-6K chassis. there was 2 variant built of the Ba-11. the BA-11 and the BA-11D. one powered by an gasoline engine and the other by an diesel one. they can easily can be tell one from the other by the engine hatch at the very front of the car. the Ba-11 was using the late DT turret with an 20K 45mm gun just like the Ba-10 and Ba-6M. over, the BA-10, the BA-11 also have an Better mobility, a better engine and a better top speed.

 

History

the Ba-11 was designed in Leningrad in 1939 and didn't saw real production before 1941. the armored car was planed to be field tested along side the SMK and the T-46 in the winter war against Finland but the war ended before the car was ready. the development of the BA-11 leaded to the BA-11D with an diesel engine to be more reliable in the cold winter. the BA-11K show suitable but while the engine was similar in power, the Diesel one was also heavier and made the armored car a bit slower. the WW2 reached Leningrad and the production of the BA-11s was simply impossible because of the German siege of the city. but 16 BA-11D was been built before the siege and they was fiercely used to defend the city. the BA-11 was better armored, faster and having a better slope for the same firepower of the T-26 active around Leningrad which made the Ba-11 a more suitable tank than the T-26 himself. the BA-11 was also in general more armored and armed than the German armored car while been also working during the hard winter. the BA-11D in Leningrad show a dangerous weapon against the German. but their Heroic fate was doom to be lost in battle.

BA-11D

Spoiler

 

The BA-11D was the improved version of the Ba-11 with a diesel engine who was more reliable in the winter. but the heavier engine was making the armored car a bit slower and less maneuvable in about every aspect. the main external difference with the BA-11D was the engine hatch of the engine who was covered with armored plates.

it's quiet decent, and i don't think the look is particularity good or bad. very common design for a Russian WW2 armored car. it's just so bad they didn't keep developing those vehicles after the war. they did produce other armored car but from a complete different family and design.

[BrentD15@psn 1,116]

+1 for this.

[Milocat 4,842]

+2 for these nice vehicles.

[onemax9000 1,242]

+1

+1, there were enough to be in the main tree too hopefully, perhaps the suggested armored car line.  Maybe the BA-11 can be in the main line and the BA-11D be in a subfolder of the BA-11.

+1 for main tech tree. If not that maybe a premium vehicle.
