General info: I had made this for the steampunk challenge, but it can't participate due to its inability to fly. I thought it was too good to let it go to waste, so I'm uploading it anyways! This is my third tank, and I'd have to say that it's my best. Anyways, this also has actual tracks and no wheels!



Operation Instructions:
Forwards: Push the VTOL lever all the way up, activate 1 and 2, and throttle to 100%.

Backwards: Pull the VTOL lever all the way d... down. Simple.

Turning left: De-activate 2 and pull VTOL backwards. Push VTOL all the way up and re-activate 2 when turn is completed.

Turning right: Same as turning left, just with button 1 instead of 2.

If tracks get stuck (they will): Just move the VTOL lever back and forwards a bit. It should solve the problem.

To move the guns, use roll.

To vent the steam, pull back on the pitch.




Additional notes:

This tank is highly impractical, as it cannot get above 10 mph, turns slowly, guzzles fuel at an alarming rate, even with the (supposedly) infinite fuel with which it comes equipped. However, think of it as a bit of realism. This tank is made to look like it was built in the Victorian era. It would have been impractical back then, too.

Everything here is of my own design, except for the gatling gun at the front (from Scriefer's AC-130J Ghostrider), and the center pipe assembly (from Delphinus' F-22 Raptor #5).
