T-60 No. 228 (Unmodded version now available)

5,344 SV  3.4 years ago
Auto Credit Based on MrGreen's CLOSED Tank Challenge

still not dead and still a die-hard tank nerd

This is my entry for @MrGreen's Tank Challenge.

Unmodded version here!
1:1 Replica of the T-60 light tank, with decals based on the historical T-60 No. 228. Chose to build this little bean of a tank because I had a blast playing it in Enlisted. Was about to casually build this thing and my eyes caught upon an open tank challenge, and boom. Finished it in 1 week.

Historical photo of the T-60 No. 228.

DESCRIPTION

The T-60 scout tank was a light tank produced by the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1942. During this period, 6,292 units were built. The tank was designed to replace the obsolete T-38 amphibious scout tank and saw action during World War II.

im not gonna waste your time by copying all of the text here lol

FEATURES

  • Approximately 1:1 scale, built on a blueprint.
  • Fully modeled interior, except for driver's hatch and scope. Has a gunner cam though.
  • Realistic mobility, top speed 43 km/h (27 mph) forwards
  • Accurate weight - 5.8 metric tons
  • Accurate fuel capacity - 320 liters
  • Accurate turret rotation speed - 12.7 deg/s -> 13 deg/s
  • TNSh cannon has accurate properties (fire rate, muzzle velocity)
  • Realistic movement. Uses multiple inputs on tracks to simulate clutch-braking used on WW2 Soviet tanks.
  • Inert version of Wernster's damage model, not flammable. All the parts' HP is set to 430 because of the negligible levels of armor protection on the tank. Here's the version that actually can burn but please read the description

CONTROLS

  • Pitch for forwards/backwards.
  • Roll to engage track brakes for turning.
  • Brake for brakes, lol
  • Act. 1 to open turret hatch
  • Act. 2 to open driver's viewing hatch
  • Act. 3 + 1 to view from the top of the turret. Disables turret, as the tank only has a 2-man crew.
  • Act. 4 to open maintenance hatch.
  • Act. 7 to activate handbrake (i dont know if this existed IRL but its just for convenience, you dont want your tank slipping around when you are photographing it, so i kept this around)
  • Act. 8 turns off the radiator fan (no impact on performance)
