First, why a T-34? If production occurred in the late 1980's into the 1990's, why would a medium tank from the 1940's be used? The chassis would be incredibly outdated and likely inadequate, as the photograph suggests the turret to be more than equal to the size of the chassis. A T-55 or T-62 would make far more sense given the time and requirements, but an M60 Patton frame or an M1 Abrams frame would also be valid candidates.

The article as a whole also needs further explanation, primarily in the form of footnotes. I do not know what the religious practices of the Nihil are, nor do I know how a tank would perform said practices.

Another, somewhat related note, how did the Nihil get the tank? There doesn't appear to be any note on the Authority selling them one.

The whole article is nice, but it is lacking. Three Stars.

Instead of focusing on the sapient, religious tank, the article is more concerned about some nihil confrontation where the main RPC is just a side character, not even that. What even is its connection to the pilot? Or was that just a randomly chosen member of the nihil pantheon?

The AHAFV 99 bit follows this trend. I get that it's a fire fighting tank. Why did you want me to know NuCorp made it? Or that it is based on a soviet design?

There are multiple plot points that yes, have a thread connecting them, but that thread is so artificial I can't extract any satisfaction from following it.

2/5

a lot of ‘is to be’ and ‘are to be’ in the containment protocols, which i think is common among most articles at this point, but i can’t think of a good alternative for them
As for the nihil stuff, it seems kind of jarring to have it outright identified. it gives a very dull interpretation of CoN and it’s sort of telling that you could replace any mention of nihil with some other property (say, church of the broken god from SCP) and the story wouldn’t be severely affected.
I’m kind of surprised the sun it would worship is the pilot- considering moons are the heralds of a flood, and this thing outputs water… idk. The concept is cool, just executed poorly. That’s usually the case with chrome articles.

Also, this article straight up has a link to a quora page??? i’m not even joking look below the image it’s literally a link to quora?????

anyway, 1 star. if 2 is acceptable, then this is unacceptable. Hope it can be rewritten if it’s rating changes.

nice

nope changed my mind +2

Why does the article on AHAFV-99 say that it was manufactured under an Authority contract, but none of the listed buyers are members of the Authority?

And why would Authority Employees terminate RPC-049-ARC instead of attempting to capture it, especially since it's abilities were already neutralized by RPC-164? It would make sense if GOI-008 killed her themselves, but having the authority do it makes no logical sense.

I'm rating this a 2 for now, as the format is appealing to look at, and I like the idea of an in-universe explanation for a deleted entry, but the actual content doesn't seem to pay off.

+4!
