TLV-M RM-1
thanks to TUCAN for the wonderful screenshots!
history
The TLV-M RM-1 is a heavy tank designed by the US military during the late stages of ww2. The design is heavily based off of the german Tiger 2 tank, and comes with a powerful 85mm cannon. The tank never got out of the prototype phase as the war ended 8 months after its initial design. A total of 5 tanks were ever produced, and all were scraped.
controls
Pitch+roll- turret controls
Yaw- tank turning
Ag1+Pitch- turn on engine ( go full on pitch and then release so you dont need to keep pitch pegged, and is required with how the turret is used)
Ag2- rear engine hatch
Ag3- activate AP rounds
Ag4- activate HE rounds (best if you take off ag3 when ag4 is activated and vice versa for ag3)
Ag5- activate turret mg (trim and VTOL for movement)
Ag6- activate hull mg (pitch and roll for movement)
how to operate + things to keep in mind (MUST READ!)
- Press ag1 and pitch up, and once you start moving deactivate ag1 and then pitch down to help bring the gun back to its stock position. The way the turret is operated the barrel will go down when you pitch up so after disabling ag1 make sure to pitch down to get the barrel to come back up so it can operate properly
- Activate ag3 or ag4 to get HE or AP rounds, if you go into the tank you can see the HE and AP rounds In there holds, HE is signified by the red tip of the shell
- There is a gun stabilization system so taking mild jumps and going over rough terrain will not effect your shots to much
- The hull rotates slower than the turret so you'll need to keep that in mind if your trying to keep a lock on an enemy and your turning as well
- This is the first tank I posted that sports an interior so I'm sorry If there are some things missing
- Top speed is 23mph so your not going to be going anywhere to fast

@Musraskrois yep! Tucan did an amazing job!
those screenshots are unreal! They look so good
@MrGreen I couldn't add fuel sence the fuselage was so thin, I guess it couldn't work, but I still messed with the helth
@PapaKernels I didn't see a difference in health, fuel was 0 and calculateDrag was true
@MrGreen thank you, I was so confused when I saw zero on for interior when i know for a fact i put one in lol.
@PapaKernels Whoops, prolly accidentally removed a number, I'll give u 30
@MrGreen and I did use wernsters damage model, it just isn't as effective sence the tank is hollow inside.
@MrGreen why did I get a zero on the interior? I have it detailed
Good job, 155 points, 13th place. Dont worry, there's also someone with 40 points
