Sturmtiger (entry to Bogdanx's cannon challenge)

2,738 GeneralPatrick2  4.8 years ago

Challenge entry. Hopefully it'll be approved.

Anyways, controls!
AG 8: Main gun aiming and activation. Trim for elevation, VTOL for left and right.
AG 1: Secondary MG in hull. Trim for elevation, VTOL for left and right.
AG 2: Grenade launcher! Close-quarters self defense. VTOL for left and right, 360 degree rotation. Has 60 explosives, they don't go very far so be careful when moving and firing.
AG 3: Ammunition loading crane. VTOL for turning, Trim for the winch.
AG 4: Activate loading crane magnet.
Landing Gear: Stabilizing things, because car wheels are bad at staying in one place. And shooting far away accurately is hard when the vehicle is slowly sliding backwards.

Good things: Realistic gun caliber, ammo count, and other armaments. (has 2 more shells than there should be, sorry) Good firepower, good accuracy, can take out the Krakabloan bridge in one hit and is fun to harass the convoy with.

Bad things: Not realistic weight (if it were the right weight the wheels wouldn't work), not-quite-right shape for the superstructure, cannon doesn't have the exhaust ports, and I can't make the shells be rocket-propelled :c

Have fun with it! It's very tanky, like it should be.

    @BogdanX take a look at it and tell me what you think, and if you'd say it qualifies or not. If not that's fine, the part count is a lot lower than the requirement after all.
