Auto Credit Based on Leota's M1E3 Verlander

I love critiquing fictional tanks, so when I saw a good looking tank in popular I decided to critique it. In the pinned comment in the autocredit, I mentioned a list of flaws, but I will restate what I changed:

.

Reload speed is now realistic: 10.5 seconds for main gun, 30mm autocannon is the same

.

added smoke launchers; not functional, might make second post later adding smoke functionality

.

Changed 30mm gun from APFSDS to HEAT-FS

.

added 40mm coaxial gun (unrealistically high caliber but this is already a large tank and traditional high cal guns looked too small)

.

The hull remained the same since it was iconic to the design

.

Added camera for the gunner, who was blind in previous design

.

Realistic shell quantity, now only 40 130mm shells

.

max speed lowered to 74mph, turning speed reduced as well

.

Turret elevation reduced to realistic levels

.

Deactivating AG8 will turn off tracks so you can aim 30mm gun easier

.

a few more things but I forgot

.
.
.

Tl;Dr I made it realistic
