The new tank from Marcox's armory, comes with a very strong composite armor, capable of sustaining a rain of bullets. the 150mm main gun is capable of one-shooting a convoy truck, plus the APHE shell(Default ammo) can blow up 3 trucks at once! also the gun is gyro-stabilized, so it wont have troubles firing on the move, the sight is pretty accurate, and if you miss, dont worry, the HE charge will make sure to blow up anything in 25m around xdd.
This tank comes with the same powerplant as the Leopard 2, so it is quite fast, but due to SP physics I limited its HP to keep it stable, so dont go on steep hills, it has a fully working interior, including driver, gunner, loader and commander seats with its respective controls, also theres a case catcher under the turret, so the spent cases will fall there(can be seen from driver position).
To lock the gun pull down the Trim, then turn the turret 180° and get it as centered as possible, then reset the trim and once its locked, disable the turret by pressing 8.
Bonus: while having the gun aiming backwards, fire some rounds to get extra speed!
Controls:
Pitch: for throttle
Roll: to steer
Brake: brake
Yaw: Turn the turret
VTOL: gun elevation
Trim: Transport Gun Lock
Landing Gear: Close hatches and extend the antenna.
AG 1-6: Fire the main gun
Space: fire the coaxial 15mm machinegun
countermeasure: chaff.
never exceed speed: 45mph(or you may break your suspension as I did when chasing the convoy!)
Gun stats:
Elevation: -8/+15
Range: up to 15 miles
Ammo type: APHE
Note: the shells may ricochet on sloped surfaces.
Warning: NEVER RELEASE THE BOMBS WITH THE FIRE BOMBS BUTTON, this will disable the HE load and you will only have the armor piercing shell(wich is still enough to destroy a single truck)

@PhantomBladeCorp could you mod a rotator for a turret pls? so I can use it in future builds
@PhantomBladeCorp Well, I'ts quite saddening to hear that the tank can't be modified due to a failure of the game even when the tank worked perfectly at the moment of upload. The turret IS mounted on a rotator, but it is used only as a pivot, as I'm not that experienced with modding rotators(only overload), the system that I use for stabilyzing the gun is a gyroscope that both controls gun elevation and turret traverse. BONUS: I maded the A2 version a month ago, but the gyro struggles to turn with a 22ton's turret as deadweight, maybe you can collab with me to upgrade that tank, plus ir has an ERA pack, so it's way more resistant than it's predecesor, but sacrifices some mobility for it.(I personally like more the A1 for it's mobility).
@marcox43 Why don't you simply mount the turret on a rotator? So much easier. You only gotta tweak some blocks around and add a damperMultiplier to the rotator. The only thing that needs stabilisation is the gun.
Now, you entered the challenge with this tank so, sadly, I can't rate whatever updated variant of this you will upload. Still though, you should upgrade it more for yourself.
@PhantomBladeCorp sad to read that, seems like the turret is stuck I guess, I will upload a version with the turret in high position, so you can manually set down the turret, then it should work properly. never had an issue with this tank excepting blowing half suspension during a battle.
Functionality: 6/10. I like that the gun is stabilized but what about the turret? I can't move it at all.
Visual: 7.5/10. Looks good. I like the interior. All in all, though, its exterior lets it down a lot.
Quality: 2.5/5. This could've been a lot better. Especially its turret and gun stabilisation.
Impression: 2/5. I was actually hyped after reading its description. But once I tested it, all that hype disappeared. A foul taste of mild disappointment replaced it soon after.
This does not qualify for the bonus.
Total: 18.*
