My second tank! I have improved my skill a lot from the first time I've joined SimplePlanes. I would like to shout out to Kimcotupan15's KV-2, I didn't take his turret, but I did do some heavy referencing, but their turret defiantly inspired me.
History:
(Side note, this is a fictional story.) The creation of the Salamander tank is a very interesting one. During WWII, a group of Soviet engineers were almost sent to the gulags for stealing Stalin's comb, why they did, no one knows.
But they escaped and managed to get on one of the few boats in that area to the U.S.A. There, they met up with some United States tank engineers, they were currently bored and needed something to do to pass time. So the Soviet and the US tank engineers got together and accidentally made a high quality fighting machine. Well, the US engineers knew that they could use some in the Pacific Theater, so they got permission and shipped the tanks on over, and they were a major success. Later the Soviet and US tank engineers were rewarded (but Stalin wasn't so pleased.)
(Just remember, this is a fictional story)

@BogdanX, Can you let me know of any challenges, because I have been looking for them but haven't found any, and I really need to challenge myself...
Also, thanks for rating my creation (really helps the future creations.)
@BogdanX I know, but details and me don't really mix.
@BogdanX Now I understand, I got to admit, I did much better than I thought.
Also, can you notify me of any challenges, because I am having a hard time finding them, but I would like to challenge myself and improve my skill and experience.
@BogdanX What does that mean?
