Edit
A type of turret designed to be mounted on a ground military vehicle, often but not exclusively a tank.
Tank turrets are generally compact and low profile, smaller than naval turrets, typically seating one to three crew members. The single main gun or cannon is usually centrally-mounted and of small or medium-caliber, often 20-125mm. May also feature additional coaxial or top-mounted armament, mostly machine guns but occasionally smaller cannons. Tank turrets are usually fully enclosed and designed to withstand hits from anti-tank cannons and/or missiles, but can be lightly armored, open topped, or open on one or more sides. Often features a cupola, other observation devices, and hatches.
This tag can be applied when only the turret is present or visible, without the rest of the vehicle, and/or when a mecha, personification, or other character wears or uses a tank turret as a weapon.
Do not use this tag for posts only featuring a cupola or hatch, only use if the turret structure is visible.
