(1) activates commander's hatch. (2) activates gunner's hatch. (3) activates radio operator's hatch. (4-7) fires gun. Pitch elevates hull, roll traverses hull. VTOL for direction. Basically the Swedish Stridsvagn 103, or the S-Tank. Function is virtually identical.

Yup @Pilotmario
@Dylanspin lol on that TD too.
Region and IGN?
Yes but i was just playing world of tanks and i am now on the tier IV swedish tank destroyer and than i lookt at the last one and like 15 min later i saw your build yup @Pilotmario
@Dylanspin I only referred to the S-Tank in the description.
Ikr i was just gona say that @VisableAce217
Indeed was inspired by it. @VisableAce217
It looks like the Swedish TD (strv 103b)
@Pilotmario Interesting.
It is armed with a 120mm M5A5 coilgun, and the frontal armor, on account of sloping, is as strong as the M5 Victoria while weighing only 30 tons. It has a crew of three: Commander/driver, gunner/driver, and radio operator/reverse driver. The Commander and Gunner positions are merely formal, as both positions have the same driving and gunnery controls and optics.
Theoretically, a single person can operate the tank as a result, although this capability would only be used in emergencies.
The third crewman is there to allow the machine to quickly reverse out of a firing position to relocate, as well as easing maintenance loads for the other two crewmen.
The low silhouette allows for incredible concealment abilities, especially behind ridgelines. Combined with an ACS, and the only time hostile forces will be known of its presence is when it fires its gun.
Five were used in Operation Typhoon, our invasion of Canada, in operational trials, where they provided excellent and accurate fire support in addition to knocking out 41 Awwami Khalid tanks. One was knocked out in combat in a blue-on-blue incident with an Ardent, whose commander thought it was an Awwami tank.
It was not accepted into Paternian Army service due to its incredible specialization compared to its cost; P$2.4M per unit, more expensive than the more versatile P$2.1M M6A4 UPS or P$1.7M M8A1. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
@Pilotmario How Powerful is this?
@Pilotmario pimped out af deal with it B-)
I meant to say that it's function is different. The Khalid uses it as a meager attempt to make the operator think its pimped out. This system controls gun elevation and depression by way of moving the hull up and down. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Thanks! @Gmanndo1000
Awesome! I'm finally back, my notifications are SUPER HIGH My tablet was broken, still is kinda. But awesome tank!
@Pilotmario LOL same for the Khalid ;3
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation If you wish to know, we used pistons on the wheels for elevation control.
@Pilotmario we get it, you're dope.
@PyrusEnderhunter RIP.
bangs head on table
INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHYYYYYY!!!!!!
NUUUUU! SCREWY INTERNET CONNECTION!!!!!!
@Pilotmario the double rail gun turret is coming in T minus 30 seconds...
@Pilotmario oh, okay! then it is the best...
@PyrusEnderhunter Awwam has developed a conceptually-similar but cruder system, where gun elevation is controlled traditionally, but the vehicle must still slew its whole hull to aim. The positioning and mounting of the gun has been shown to negatively affect accuracy compared to the XM20 and has a high apparent profile when engaging from a reverse slope.
It is a much lower profile machine, especially when firing from a reverse slope. The armor, which is of PSL-4 of a fourth of the raw thickness of the M5A6 Victoria's armor, is twice as effective due to the extreme slope. Even the Temporian 183mm cannon found difficulty at engaging the upper slope for this reason.
@Pilotmario idk... I has no seen others.
