    @Korms haha nice (Even though the steam version doesn't add much, it's more ergonomic), but keep in mind that the more mods you put on your uploads, the fewer people will be able to play with it.
    Guns can be made WITHOUT mods, but it's not so easy to do (really satisfactory though). The mod I suggest is, indeed, overload. With it you'll be able to acess hidden inputs such as landing gear, fireguns, etc.
    For the supension, well, first, you should either put suspension on the wheels, or use the shocks. Putting suspension on both result in a strange and wobbly ride. If you decide to do it with shocks (grant you the capacity to make exquisite suspension), you have to... experiment and look what others do. Just as adding a tank gun, a proper, working suspension is'nt something necesarly easy. But adding these on a tank are definitley pros.
    Can't wait to see your next uploads now :p

    Hey thanks for the Feedback, the turret was able to turn, I’ll fix that soon.
    I this tank on iOS, now if you don’t know, guys who play on iOS don’t get access to mods like fine tuner, so I was rather limited on guns(they were too big).
    Suspension.. I’ll be honest, I have no idea how to tune suspension, advice would be great xD

    But yeh to conclude thanks for the Advice, since I got the Steam version (PC) of simple planes dirt cheap yesterday, i was able to get the tracks mod, tuner mod, the over ride(?) mod, so my new Tanks should be better. But yeh thanks again for play testing my tank 😄

    @Korms I love you.
    Now I can add feedback :D
    -Turret doesn't turn (Connection problem I think) but elevation works.
    -You should add MGs (I can understand that tank guns isn't sth everyone can do )
    -Maybe JUST a bit more details: false gears around the turret or the hull, a tank gun holder...
    -A suspension a bit on the rough side, but it works.
    Passed those details, this is a rather dashing tank for such a low part count.
    You mastered the esthetics, it's time to master the functionnalities.
