Finally an upload after centuries of doing nothing! Just a little something I've had in store for a while which got me into building more tanks, so expect more to come in the future! Now, along the most proper introduction after months of nothingness, I give you, the MBT-70!

A joint design project of The US of A and West germany, incorporating many high tech equipment at its time which meant a heck ton of money being spent on the design.

It had a retractable 20mm cannon on the roof, a hydropneumatic system, state of the art (at its time) gun launcher, which allowed it to launch high caliber projectile and ATGM, it also used a Television Gunsight which paved way to be used on modern MBT's of this day.

Extra features include full functioning stabilizer system, meaning if you are on the move, going over small obstacles, and turning your tank, the turret will stay in place and keep looking at where you are aiming at.
With this system, you also have UNLIMITED traverse angle, meaning you can rotate the turret in circles for as long as you'd like without having it return to its original position and getting stuck at its maximum rotation angle.

below are the instructions on how to operate the tank ;

• AG 1 : activate commanders vertical panoramic sight movement and unlocks the 20mm gun lock.
• AG 1 + Landing gear : activates the 20mm, and bringing the gun to the front.
• AG 2 : activates 20mm and panoramic sight horizontal movement.
• AG 3 + Landing gear : activates commanders infrared sight.
• AG 4 : arms rocket, imitating APFSDS. (engage ground mode)
• AG 5 : turns on headlights
• AG 6 + trim : engage hydropneumatic suspension on the half end of the tracks (off = only front moves, on = all the track moves)
• AG 7 + Throttle : raises gun lock (how to use below)
• AG 8 : deactivates stabilizer and co-axial MG.
• Brake for brake lights
• Reverse turns on reverse lights as well, a small neat touch i think.
• Flare button for flares to imitate smoke launchers

Instructions :

How to aim : self explanatory, use mouse aim to aim easily, but because of the stabilizer system, mobile users will have an easier time aiming horizontally as well. AG4 activates main armament, which are rockets, it has a limited ammount of shot so pick targets carefully.

Hydropneumatic suspension :

Useful to use at rough terrain and concealling your tanks sillhouette, Use trim to move the tank up and down using only the front half of the tracks, activate AG 6 to move the suspension wholely on the vertical axis.

Locking the gun :

Move to a flat terrain, make sure you are not moving, and the gun is perfectly positioned on the front (line the gunsight with a stationary green line via Camera 2).
activate AG 7 + throttle, deactivate stabilizer (AG 8) and then deactivate AG 7.

This is by far my most complicated design yet so appologies for the high part count and long description. I hope you all enjoyed this sophisticated design, and feel free to take any parts off of it, and reverse engineer anything you can strap off off of it (yo dawg).

Cheers people!
