HISTORY/BACKSTORY-
-Steadfast Industries was presented with the prospect of designing a tank with a good balance of speed, agility, armor, and firepower by the U.S. Military and accepted the challenge. They designed and built the first model (code-named Proto-Tank) and showcased it to the military. The liked what they saw and granted funding for 15 units to be produced for trial in actually military operations. The liked the easy to use mechanisms and the over-drive capability letting them get in and out of spots very quickly. Full scale production is set to take place in 2020 and will be in full use by 2022.

Thanks, but you didn't need to upvote back.
@SSSvaSSa
Oh, okay. Well I'll keep that in mind next time.
@GluonicGaming
Plate, armor patch, lower hull @SteadfastContracting
@SteadfastContracting ^_^
Okay, thanks for the feedback and kind word's.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Pretty good for a first!
@SteadfastContracting Tracks are nice, Front Spikes are perfect for Ramming through groups of enemies and impaling them XD, the cannons is massive. I'm sure it can blow a hole through some of the best armour's.
Thanks! What do you think, I'm curious.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
glacis?
@GluonicGaming
Not power, the tracks dont connect before the lower glacis @SteadfastContracting
Lol, yeah.
@Insertname
Sacrifices suck lol@SteadfastContracting
Oh, yeah, me too. It's just, that if you do that then it is too fast.
@Insertname
The speed is great but I wish there way a way to increase torqueS @SteadfastContracting
Thanks, The controls were made that way so it could move more like a real tank would. If it needs more power, feel free to change the engine horsepower or use Act.7. I actually modded the engines so the tank would move this slow. I didn't want it to be crazy fast; I mean, it is still a tank.
Sorry for the essay...
@Insertname
Alright. If it needs more power, you can try the Act.7 extra power.
@GluonicGaming
It's pretty interesting! I've never made a tank before. The controls are a bit unorthodox though. And it may need a bit more power but I like where it's headed!@SteadfastContracting
Find it hard to climb steep hills
Would you guys mind telling me what you think?
