100mm Gun Carrier

Design

Is a modified Mortar Gun Truck, but a 100mm gun was added and the mortars removed and a little box for ammunition storage.

The truck is the same, (except for the ammunition storage) for making logistics more simple.

The idea is that a truck with a cannon is going to have more ammo than the mortar version, and be safer.

(I am bad at doing trucks that’s why, but the original truck is pretty good)

Flaws

The reload, when the gun is rotated to around 45 degrees to left or right, reloading seems pretty complicated, the ammo stowage is far, and is difficult to get in the platform and then reload, then doing that again and again, also the sight is a little bad, the lines are interfering with the rest of the sight.

Controls

Yaw: Rotate cannon

Trim: Elevation and depression

Roll: Turn

Pitch: Accelerate forward and backwards

Brake: This is a special function, i spent a lot of time trying to make it, the brake is for... brake.

A huge thanks to DEN12345 for letting me use his mortar truck for this, again, thank you a lot.
