    @TheOwlAce Sorry for the delay I wanted to check her out! lol Not bad at all. I take it this was your' first tank? The one I built was my first as well. It was heavily inspired by the design of another on here but not a direct descendant. On Facebook I used to have fun playing Ground War: Tanks, basically a cheap knock-off of World of Tanks. One of the most fun tanks for me was I think a tier 2 or 3 tank with a 20 mm cannon that could fire pretty rapidly so I chose a barrel assembly that had I think 4 wing guns nudged together to make it look like a wider barrel. (If you look at my Oowashi, the pylon mounted guns are the same thing just with a fuselage cone piece capping the end.) Then I added coaxial rocket launchers to the sides of the turret along with a pair of Gatlings that do not elevate just for anti-personnel. (Gotta love the chain-gun cha-cha!) She is VERY capable of blowing herself up with those rocket launchers but it's meant for when up on a hill and pointing down over her side. My girl's a twin VTOL turbine driven beasty, pitch down is forward, pitch up is reverse. Roll is to steer. You chose a very similar approach to me, to give the appearance of having treads but instead having a full bank of wheels that steer. CG 1 VTOL turns the turret, CG 2 VTOL elevates or depresses the main gun and rocket launchers. I couldn't quite get the Panzerkampfwagon 4-1 up to the bridge from Yeager though the last hill leading up to it is just too steep. However she survived the durability acid test when I drove her over all the little hills at about 50% throttle without flipping or suffering any sort of damage! A great build!!
