NO XML WAS USED IN THE CREATION OF THIS CRAFT, PLEASE READ FURTHER FOR INSTRUCION AND BACKSTORY. In 1942, many new models for a light tank were proposed. The light tank that the allied forces needed to meet multiple requirements, it wasnt a request for an ordinary light tank. It was a request for a large sized light tank that could hold lots of equipment as well as travel fastly and was cheap to manufacture. One of the models by Bolton-Dragomir (an aircraft company) unusually worked well. The tank went up to extreme speeds and was extremely unstable. This is the 1943 model used in trials to show what the M-9 could do. Unfortunately, the tank broke down 2 times in the trials and it did not work well once it was repaired. The tank had extremely light armor (around 15mm) one 20mm auto cannon with 10 round magazines, and one 30 caliber bow gun. 2 to activate lights, 3 to activate bow gun, 4 to activate control over 20mm autocannon and VTOL to control it.

    @Fishbowl1121 eh...well. I'm gonna make it look like its a Bolton-Dragomir plane (fictional company i came up with with the five-ton-flyer). However, it's really to be something from my current civilization game i'm playing. It's the year 1970 in my game....yet we just got landships and triplanes. And im oine of the top world powers XD. Its supposed to be a representation of what i think my empire's triplanes would look like, i may not post it. If you enjoy triplanes, i have made quite a few in the past. Also just a whole line of WW1 stuff. The WW1 line's bi-plane i made is actually what the P-7 sky chariot is made from...which surprisingly got 13 or so upvotes...
