Aren't the tanks some bizarre blend of the modern Israeli Merkava (limited Infantry carrying capability) with the "ain't it cool-ness" of the Aliens APC's folding turret?
Other than being the size of a large building, it is pretty standard stuff:

You might be thinking of the Ursa, which has a small turret the "deploys".
Turret "stored":
Turret "deployed":

As always, cheers for providing an answer.
I must have got it confused with some earlier concept art, as that Nova's turret is a lot bigger than it was prior.
Beautiful design - that lovely glacis deliberately shaped to funnel as much spall as physically possible directly to the most vulnerable part of the tonk!
A favorite of mine: You are designing an off road vehicle and decide to use an offset hub for the wheel/tire. Of course you off set it to the bottom of the wheel so you have even worse ground clearance than if you went with a normal hub in the center of the wheel.
They are whatever you want them to be. All you need to do is use your imagination.

Well, its rule of cool, and i have nothing against that per se. Rule of cool can be fun.

Yeah, but when the wheel rotates to the top you have more clearance than if it were in the middle.
Checkmate fudster, you are dismissed!!
ETA your comment was so good i quoted it twice.
But regrettably you are still dismissed!

Aye...as a former tank soldier, I wouldn't be getting in that Sabot round magnet without a pair of steel underpants.
Even the bane of my life, the massively underpowered Chieftain dozer tank I used to drive in the 70's was a step up from that Merkhava-clone-space-tank thing

To be fair, it's not the Merkhava's fault.
It is designed to run into the Gaza strip and act as an hybrid MBT-IFV, and face off at worst against a couple of idiots lugging an RPG.
That made me think of the film 4 Lions.

You do have to wonder if someone say "Just make some stuff up so it sounds good and publish it to keep backers happy"
I’m not sure I understand the mentality of releasing hover mode to the masses when it clearly isn’t ready. It comes across as a little desperate,surely they knew their critics would have a field day?
Maybe they thought it was good?
