Man those grav tanks are BIG ... 
They're TALL.
They're WIDE.
And they're LONG.
Good thing they have gravitics or they would be difficult to move, being so large (and thus, heavy) with all that armor on them.

grav tanks can be orbital drop ships as well (assuming full environmental), so transport other than getting to the system itself is not an issue. but yes - those are quite large

Less a question and more of an observation.

Norris in this painting is too thin due to the limitation of CG models.

30dt SLOW BOAT
A 30dt Slow boat is approaching to a orbital staion.
The slow boat appears either as an early design of the ship’s boat, before power plants and manoeuvre drives become more efficient,
or as an intentional throttling back of the ship's boats performance. Either way, the slow boat is comparable to the ship’s boat
but it trades speed for increased cargo space.
This painting was drawn in reference to a work painted by William H. Keith,Jr in 1982.
The original work was published in pp.62 at The Traveller Book.

May I ask what language this is? I only read and understand English, both the American and the British versions. I can manage Egyptian Hieroglyphics and Old English runes to an extent, but would not us them in a post. Thosr symbols are neither Egyptian or Old English.

The rules must have changed then as I was banned for a year for using a common Latin phrase in a post.

It's good seeing Jesse and Michael 3? in that scene. I still use Poser 6 with Vue 9.5 Infinite.Arch-Duke Norris inspects tank soldiers.

The more I look at this picture, the more questions I have. The two primary ones are as follows.Arch-Duke Norris inspects tank soldiers.

First, what altitude are the grav tanks going to operate at? If just above the surface, I see no problem. However, if operating at any level of altitude, there is a steadily increasing amount of "dead space" below the tank, where given the configuration in the picture, the tank is unable to engane any target, while the opposition basically has a free shot at the tank. My concept of a grav tank is something resembling a World War One tank, with the armament in side mounts so as to be capable of engaging targets below and above the vehicle. This does make for a larger vehicle.
Second, the cargo carriers look like 18-wheelers minus the wheels. Unless the cargo trailer is also equipped with some form of contra-gravity modules, ehich is going to drive uo the cost considerably, how is it supported? Again, I envision a cargo carrier resembling the old CH-54 Tarhe, which basicaalywas designed to straddle cargo containers and take off with them.
How high do helicopters fly?
There's a difference between "flying to the combat zone" and "operating in the combat zone". No doubt they're more effective down low, in the dirt when they're going nose to nose with the entrenched forces, but no reason (most of the time) to fly NOE, when they can just pop up a few thousand feet and not worry about hitting anything.
It's also a dual role thing, they can fly in fast, NOE, as a strike craft designed to bypass the front line, hit the creamy center, and come back out vs plodding along in the mud. They're multi-faceted vehicles.

1. Helicopters have difficulty operating at high altitudes, something to do with lack of an atmosphere to grab onto, which is why the Chinese are anxious to get hold of a Blackhawk to reverse engineer it. Mountains, in general, not the most favourable terrain for them, outside of the surprise pop up factor.
2. While I tend to think anti gravitational motors are similar to solar sails, in that further away from the source, the less you can push against it; for game playability, you could go with a hard limit, or planetary diameter faction.
