Auto Credit Based on TheEnglishPanzer's M50

A revist of my 3 years old M50 build, rectifying errors that have bothered me since I uploaded it. Changes made include the rescalining of all crew hatches and the gun-mantlet, removal of the HMG,and other minor changes. WASD to drive, AG 8 to deactivate turret, AG 2 to lock turret, yaw to slew turret, trim to adjust gun elevation. I recommend using alt key to fire the weapons. Cameras 1 follows the main gun and coaxial machine gun.

    @Sakorsky As I recall it took several attempts and scrapped turrets to get things right, but conceptually I just individually paneled two separate axis - the roof and area around the gun embrasure as one axis and the turret cheeks/sides as another, and then paneled up the gaps for a smooth transition. You have to tailor the methods you use to the shape of the turret you are trying to make, this two axis method is only going to work for a needle-nose turret like M60’s or M47’s turrets, but the concept of paneling discrete dimensions and then paneling smooth connections between those dimensions should hold up universally.

    I believe I developed my method by dissecting TEXET’s Chieftain, which is a very high quality build: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/M6665y/Chieftain-Main-Battle-Tank
