Also check this video out, showing off the real-life Strv 103:

Developed from 1969 through 1971 as a modernization of the Strv 103. Unlike the previous Strv 103A version, the Strv 103B was equipped with a more powerful gas-turbine engine, laser rangefinder, and infrared devices. The vehicle also accommodated the mounting of amphibious add-on equipment. In 1970, 220 vehicles went into service. At the same time, the vehicles of the previous modification were converted to the Strv 103B, which resulted in a total of 290 vehicles by 1971.
Controls:
W, A, S and D to move (Pitch and Roll).
AG 1 for lights.
VTOL up or down for elevating the gun.
AG 2 for amphibious equipment:
-Roll (A and D): turns the tank.
-Pitch (W and S): activates the propeller at the back, propels the tank.
Be gentle with it. It's strong, yes, but it's not invincible. It can also do U-turns. (hold either A or D for that).
I did my absolute best to make it as mobile-friendly as possible and offer the user as much versatility as possible. Whenever going water style, make sure to VTOL up in order to get it on the ground easier.

@EternalDarkness The propeller is there to propulse it on water. The nozzles are there just for turning. Actually, strip it down and you'll see that there are 2 VTOL engines just for that.
Just as @BogdanX stated, the suspension is pretty terrible. Tgere's very little I can do about it due to the rather glitchy nature of pistons.
Why's the big propeller in the back? VTOL nozzles can provide both propulsion and steering on water. Other than that, I like it.
@BogdanX That's why I said "be gentle".
@BogdanX They aren't shocks. They are pistons.
Fourth.
I've made a similar vehicle to this. Inspired by it, but completely fictional.
Thank you @Tully2001 @TAplanes . Have you tried it yet? :)
