Hello everyone! I am back for a brief bit, so while I am still active, have a tank. Because why not.
Controls
Ag 1 activates turret mounted gun
Ag 2 activates running lights
Ag 3 and pitch activates a wheel that can be used to lift the nose of the tank up, useful when stuck.
Ag 8 for the movement of the main turret
VTOL and trim for horizontal and vertical traverse of the turret respectively
Throttle for throttle
Yaw for turning
If you want a more useful version, remove missiles.
Note, if you tip over, use the turret to right yourself.
Whew, now that that is done,...

Storyline
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The breakthrough class was built originaly by GM as a replacement to the aging and slow M2 A3 Abrams main battle tank. The breakthrough was codenamed sci kraker, and was to be airlifted into battlefields. It's main advantage over opposing formations and defences was it's incredibly high speed, up to 200MPH. however, a mixture of chobam armor and electric plates, coupled with Darpa's iron curtain turned the breakthrough into a true juggernaut. These moddifications allowed the tank to survive repeated artillery, aircraft, and RPG fire, while mainting a speed of almost 175mph. The designers of the tank where worried of it's limited ability to climb steep surfaces, due to it's nose getting stuck, so they incorporated a wheel in to the front that could be extended and retracted and will. This allowed it to traverse slopes of up to 86* (yes i tested it). Multiple airbrakes also allowed it to stop and turn on a dime. Due to it's massive succes, it was eventually converted into a new class of tanks, known as dropdeaths. The role of these tanks was to destroy or sabotage enemy launch sites. This allowed nations with the tank to wage a standard war without fear of the enemy retaliating with nukes when they where nearing defeat. The high speed and incredible stealth and survivability of the tank quickly made it a favorate among troops. The breakthrough however, had on fatal flaw. It ws extremly technologicaly sophisticated an not only did it require high maintenance, but a new crewer had to be hired specificaly to care for this beast.
