Auto Credit Based on SteadfastContracting's Wheelie Missile Launcher

So I revised my old "Wheelie" truck thing and fixed it up a bit. I actually had a lot of fun building and testing this so it was worth it to me. Has working suspension.
_________________________________________________________________
.
HISTORY/BACKSTORY-
-The XB-5 Platform was designed to be able to get to most place fairly easily and provide excellent anti-air defense and/or moderate artillery support. It was first tested in 2020 and put into full scale production in 2021.
_________________________________________________________________
.
CONTROLS-
-To Drive: Use PITCH for throttle and ROLL to steer.
-Act. 1-4 launch the Air to Air missiles.
-Act. 6 and 7 fire the artillery shells.
-Act. 5 kicks the truck into a higher gear.
-Act. 8 on/off will toggle the trailer sway type thing.
-VTOL controls the missile battery elevation.
-TRIM up to a little bit under the quarter way mark first thing. It puts the steering wheel into position like a real car does.
_________________________________________________________________
.
Notes-
-The truck is a bit high-centered and might catch on some stuff. If you don't explode then you can use the trailer sway thing to help get un-stuck. You will want to raise the missile battery a bit before firing anything so you don't explode in a firery inferno. This is the first time I put any details into an interior before so I hope it suits you guys.

    @Squirrel Yeah, it was modeled after it. I didn't have an idea of how to make it.

    @SteadfastContracting Smooth ride. No problems at all. I saw the gear stick, it's very similar to one on one of the cars I uploaded.

    @zed Well, then it sounds like it has been taken care of. I would think a SPOTLIGHT would mean insta-upvote anyways.

    @zed yeah, I think the Devs are just trying to fit what the majority of people want. I think they may have had a few different versions of the site to put up depending on peoples reactions to the first one.
