This is the Schilpad (Turtle) Mk5r Tank Destroyer APC, which is a modification of the Schilpad Mk5r. It's a cheap, light and mobile tank destroyer, designed to destroy even the thoughest tanks of the United States of Simpleplanes.

Mk5: 5th genaration.
r: realistic topspeed.

How to control:
1. Activate primary engine. This allows you to drive around. Use WASD to move. Divable "1" if you want to use the turret.
2. Allows you to rotate the turret. You can use WASD or the mouse joystick to aim the gun. (Note: only the machinegun w works at this moment.)
6. Activates all-wheel steering. Not recomended when driving fast.
7. Activates the 2nd engine, which means the APC will now have more power and 6-wheel drive (instead of RWD).

I do need some help with the following:
1. How do I decrease engine power even further? I want the Mk4 to have a topspeed of 70mph, instead of the unrealistic 160 ish.
SOLVED! Special thanks to Shimakaze: https://www.simpleplanes.com/u/Shimakaze

2. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to make the main cannon work?
3. The brakes don't quite work the way they are supossed to. They make the whole thing do a frontflip. Suggestions?
