1,657 Xenanraptor720  5.9 years ago

UPDATE:
The aesthetics have been changed, more gyroscopes were added to improve pivot steering, and detachable off-board jets have been added to provide propulsion in water.

HISTORY:
The T-1B Anza Ruta is the main battle tank for the Xenan military. It is used by the Terrestrial Army for defending the Xenans' home planet and by the Imperial Army for invading foreign territory. The T-1B was designed by the Xenan State Engineering Department during the Great War of the Galaxy. It was based off of the original T-1A design. Upgrades had to be installed onto the T-1A when the Vontaran Empire invaded Xena and seized control of tactically critical territory. Due to Xena's crippled position during the war, the only upgrades that could have been made to the T-1A were simple module replacements. The new modules included a more powerful 600[HP] V12 hydrogen ICE engine, thicker uportanium armored skirts, and a larger 130[mm] main gun. These new modules proved pivotal, and were enough to push the Vontarans away from Xena. The new B-variant of the T-1 has been the Xenan MBT standard ever since.

NOTE:
The main gun is just the wing machine gun scaled up, it is not more powerful than its stock form.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Use the throttle input to drive the tank forward. All twenty road wheels have drive and the engine generates 600[HP]. It is best to keep the throttle percentage between 1% and 5% to avoid losing control on level surfaces. Raise the throttle above 5% only to drive the tank up slopes.

Use the roll input to traverse the turret left or right.

Use the pitch input to aim the main gun and coaxial gun up or down.

Use the gun input to fire the main gun.

Activate Action Group 1 to engage the coaxial gun. It will fire at the same time as the main gun.

Select the "Air-to-Ground" category then activate action group 2 to engage the Inferno missiles. There are four inferno missiles available.

Use the counter-measure input to deploy counter measures. Chaff and flares will be deployed at the same time.

Activate action group 3 to illuminate the exterior lights.

Activate action group 4 to engage the off-board jet engines, they will power-up as soon as the throttle it raised. The jet engines will consume fuel very quickly, so only use them when floating in water.

Activate action group 5 to detach the off-board jet engines. Do not detach the jet engines while they are running. Only detach the jet engines if their underwater fins are frequently getting stuck and/or they catch on fire upon being damaged.
