The Tonk has returned!

The legend himself, but with a lot of upgrades.

Grab your popcorn,

this is the entire history of Tonk in the MGLA/MDA.

Ok, so roughly a year ago on March 18th (which is just three days after the M-War broke out)...

...the Tonk arrived to assist the MGLA (now MDA) in the battle against the Monarchii. He would be one of the premier tanks in the war, seeing several victories over the course of the fighting.





Actual images from the M-War, in chronological order.
Despite being in the line of fire, the Tonk kept going, serving loyally to retrieve the machine gun which had been stolen from TheMouse. But even outside of combat, Tonk continued to serve during the M-War:

Following a storm, several treaties, withdraws, and agreements, the MGLA and Monarchii had a ceasefire in order to aid Snowstone residents who had been struggling either from the colossal war or the building storm. Tonk carried out several humanitarian missions during this operation, probably more than any other MGLA vehicle aside from C-19 Hefty who brought literal tons of supplies. Following the war, Tonk would be known as a good friend of Snowstone, and he visits fairly regularly.


Oh, he also survived an attack from the NMR.

Post-war, the Tonk's life would be pretty peaceful for a while, though the Crestan Conflict occured, but he had no intention to get involved in it since it was a borderline civil war. But of course the peace couldn't last forever. Eventually, Snowstone got nuked by TypoA, and war broke out... for 24 hours.
The war was short and he only fired his gun like once or twice, but Tonk was there, so I guess that counts.

Where the Tonk would really make a comeback was the TB-War. Despite receiving damage when the MDA base was nuked, Le Tonk got back on his feet quickly and would be one of the landing tanks during the ground campaign against TitanicBuff. He would actually manage to land some shots on the base, but the aircraft did most of the damage. He would continue fighting until the rise of the ThemoNuclear Psychopath, when he kept watch over allied tanks to ensure their safety. He wouldn't fight in the TB-War again following the TNP's appearance, but he witnessed the TNP's final fight. Rumors have it he was actually the cameraman.

Then along came the S-War. Once the air had been taken over by MDA fighters, tanks moved in to conquer the ground. Tonk would be a part of this campaign, assisting in the capturing of Wright.

He would also be one of the many tanks "stranded" on Wright when air support was denied by a massive storm (M-War flashbacks intensify). He would brave the storm with his comrades...

...but unfortunately, he would be injured in combat when the recently escaped Applejuice SPAA attacked Wright, taking several MDA vehicles in the process (including the only two confirmed combat losses of the F/CAS-12).

Thankfully though, Le Tonk would not be seriously injured in the attack, and once the weather cleared up he would return to Yeager for repairs and upgrades. He hasn't been seen since... but here he is! All upgraded and ready to fight.

Controls
-Pitch/Roll to Drive
-Trim and Yaw control the turret
-AG8 toggles the gyroscope.
-AG1 for lights.

That's pretty much it, but one last special feature:

Le Tonk now bears two flags, one for Italy and one for the MDA.

That's all. Have fun!
