M.P.A.V 'Khalid' With "Oliphant" SPG

33.1k AverroesIndustries  8.2 years ago

While taking Inspiration directly from its Predecessor, the Suleimani. The Khalid has several difference's and Enhancements, notably it's larger and more streamlined turret, floating! Using Magnetic Forces like those used for the AFM Mech. It has better Armor. Is faster, much much lighter. And definitely an increase in performance and handling. It still has the Road Clearance option from the older version, and it also has its speed boost too! Repositioning of the engines means better balance. It slightly leans a bit to the forward too but thats perfectly normal as it was Intended. Also Using Desert Camouflage.


-:The Name Khalid:-
It was named after Pakistan's main battle tank, Al-Khalid. Which was named after Khalid Ibn Al Waleed RA. Basically. A total badass. Here's his Wikipedia page.
"Abu Sulayman Khalid ibn al-Walid ibn al-Mughirah al-Makhzumi (585 –642) also known as Sayf Allah al-Maslul (Drawn Sword of God), was a companion of the Prophet Muhammad. He is noted for his military tactics and prowess, commanding the forces of Medina under Muhammad and the forces of his immediate successors of the Rashidun Caliphate, Abu Bakr and Umar ibn Khattab. It was under his military leadership that Arabia, for the first time in history, was united under a single political entity, the Caliphate. Commanding the forces of the nascent Islamic State, Khalid was victorious in over a hundred battles, against the forces of the Byzantine-Roman Empire, Sassanid-Persian Empire, and their allies, in addition to other Arab tribes. His strategic achievements include the conquest of Arabia during the Ridda Wars, Persian Mesopotamia and Roman Syria within several years from 632 to 636. He is also remembered for his decisive victories at Yamamah, Ullais, and Firaz, and his tactical successes at Walaja and Yarmouk."


-:CONTROLS:-
For the main Tank itself.
Start engine with AG1, It Uses Pitch and Roll for driving (you're welcome PC Users)
Speed boost activates with AG2 (Which I honestly think is useless lol but just did it)
For turret controls. It's AG3. Actual Winggun doesn't activate without activating ATG Mode.
AG4 Controls ride height with VTOL :3

For the SPG (Credit to AccipitrisEnterprises)
It all controls with AG5. Once you activate AG5 you also disconnect the SPG From the Khalid. Then you can de-activate it with AG5. You can also drive it!


-:BACKSTORY:-
So after revisiting the Suleimani. Hamra Defence Development's decided to manufacture a second revision of it. Nick-named "Khalid" it performed quite excellently considering that it was based off the Suleimani Chassis. The tank will see combat tests before it releases. Alongside the AFM Mech in 2090.


-:CREDITS:-
To AccipitrisEnterprises for his SPG. Nicknamed Oliphant. Its hard to miss on his profile so I suggest you check it out.

:-STUFF-:
I wanted to take the name Layl. But then I remembered that my other tank had the name Layl. So I was like, "nah"

I took the name Khalid after reading about one of Pakistan's Tanks. The Al-Khalid.

I Added the SPG because i was looking for towed artillery. I thought about putting the Oliphant's cannon on a custom tow truck. But then I was like nah. It looked way better with its own Chassis and stuff

I also realised something about lag throughout this build. LAG is generated mainly by Physics. And Rendering. Aircraft Quality will not affect your CPU Usage. Neither will Physics. But using a high amount of Suspension Springs, Built In Suspension And Pistons can severely induce lag. Shadows do the same also.

    I see. Can I make a non-floating turret version in an unlisted aircraft? I will tag you. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation

    @Pilotmario Yeah it was. I did a forum poll about it. And people voted Attached turret. And some people wanted a floating turret I just went with a floating one. It also makes it easier to control I assume. But stealth is basically Non-Existent without its modules and stuff.

    Just wondering, was the gap between the turret and hull on the Khalid intentional?
