If you were to make up a type of vehicle, a whole new vehicle, which can be aircraft, naval or ground (you can have two traits, like an amphibious vehicle), what would it be?
Be realistic here, now. Is it a tank with a small nuclear reactor powering the heavy threads that are used to crush smaller tanks, or is it a small little shit tank that can be able to fire deadly and accurate rounds?
You can make up the name, look and the way it is, so long as it is realistic. No "The cannon shoots Emo-repellent bullets". More like, "the cannon can scare off even emo kids, which can be a somewhat emo repellent".
Also, it can be a model that already exists or has, such as the MAUS tank. But remember, everything has a weakness, no matter how many times you spam "IT IS INVINCIBLE!!!!!!!", because realistically, nothing is invincible.
So get the fuck off Minecraft, and get creative

Re: If you were to....
For war - Mine would be a big train, kinda large (That needs around 20 tracks to move) with an armor, a sort of 'body' armor that would be very close to knights armor.
It would have cannons on each sides, and it would be large enough to contain herds of cows, chickens, weath hydroponic fields and kinda all the necessary to survive without leaving it.It and its crew could be so on able to survive to long periods of siege without surrending or leaving it.It would also contain a shell/bullet factory, and its armour parts all around the body would be in several layers, so when one is near to be destroyed, it is dropped and then replaced by another one.
Also, there would be all the needed material to hack dispatchings, enemy's computers, and radio waves.
As it would need 20 tracks at least to move, the train would be equipped with a huge machine that would put tracks in front of the train as it is going forward, synthetic tracks made out of all the waste created by the (huge) crew of the train and the animals.
There would be, on both sides, in front and back, command centers, fighting positions, etc...
In the highest part of the train would be the main command center, protected by a large skylight, and this center would tell informations to the little command centers all around the train, so these little command centers can themselves tell the orders to the soldiers.
In the middle of the train, and on all its lenght, there would be the barracks, the cattle herds, the hydroponic wheat fields, theaters and pools for officers, poker tables for soldiers, and, as the extra crew (The one that take care of the cultures, the livestock), so the civilian crew, there would be shops, larges rooms, to give them a decent life.
In the deepest area of the train there would be a few tanks : One would be for all kind of water waste & used water, and it would purify all the dirty water so it can go to the pure water tank, and then be used by the crew, and then going back in the used water tank that would purify it again to the pure tank water.Another tank would be for waste that is impossible to turn out into synthetic rails, or any kind of things : This tank would be always open, and all the waste would fall from the two side of the railway, making the infectious diseases going by in the enemy's land, and taking their moral down.
Finally, in the last part of the train, the back, there would be a huge nuclear reactor that would power everything in the train, and the train itself.The nuclear reactor would be of course protected by a huge sarcophagus made out of iron, concret, etc...
As most of the weapons will be artillery and gunnery, the train would also have an infantry battalion, and in case of treason, every member of the crew would be equipped with pistols.And, last but not least, the last weapon of the train would...A cavalry battalion that, if the train suddenly stops, would come out of the front of the train by a huge door opening.The horses would be equippd with little missile launchers on each side of its body, and the horseman would have as usually a pistol and a saber; it may not be of a big use in battles, but if the train is suddenly stopped and took into an ambush, at the last moment, the door would open and the cavalry would come out of it, assaulting by all parts the enemy that would be very surprised and be less reactive.
So as you understood, this train has all the advantages to be invincible.Considering it would be one of the most powerful weapon in the world, I'll say it will be american.So, its name will be : U.S.S Rockfeller .
So I have searched for a pic of exemple, here's one, but, of course, that's just to give you the general look of it.You can still make it in your own view
I have also a civilian vehicle planned on my mind but...I feel like it will be for later

Re: If you were to....
A few proposals...
For air, I would design a large armored airship known as 'Air Control'. It is lifted by a form of energy propulsion, and functions a sort of battle fortress to command fights from above and drop reinforcements, while at the same time is capable of participating in air-to-air combat with its many weapon mounts. The top and underbelly are covered by thick armor plating that would take very heavy artillery to penetrate, but those who would want to destroy it would find ample opportunity on the airship's sides, where the armor plating intersects. (They will want to fly towards the middle of the side, as this is a blind spot for the airship's weapons.)
Now for good old ground combat, I would make a light vehicle known as the 'Sniper Tank'. This vehicle appears like a normal abrams but is much smaller, lightly armored, and possesses a long-range cannon with a retractable barrel. The tank itself is very fast due to its light weight and powerful (but quiet) atom engine, and can traverse most terrain due to its tank treads. The Sniper Tank also uses a lighter shell. This shell, on hit, will release a small but highly concentrated shaped charge into the target, cutting through the armor like butter. Due to its extremely high-definition camera mounted next to the barrel, the tank can also see miles forward, providing excellent scouting potential. A boon for ambushes on both sides and an excellent navy weapon, the Sniper Tank can take out enemies from up to 5,000km. Despite its effectiveness behind the lines, however, it is very vulnerable in direct combat as its ammunition is inefficient in close range due to its lack of explosive radius, and the large barrel can be extremely unwieldly with other vehicles close by. (Because of the design of it's firing mechanism, the barrel must be fully extended in order to fire.)
