Marineon “Arca”
Design
Just a basic armoured car, armed with a Stengan machinegun in a turret capable of traversing 360 degrees and the gun capable of 15 degrees of depression and elevation.
Designed for the Marineon Empire as a basic and somewhat easy to produce armored car for infantry support and reconnaissance missions.
The layout is pretty conventional, two persons in the front part (I don’t know how to say it) and one men operating in the turret and another one behind the turret inside the car, that part can be accessed with the door behind the car, then the person can access the turret or stay inside the car, a little bit protected.
The engine is in the front, pretty conventional, the fuel tanks are located at the side of the turret, a little bit more ahead of it.
The car is rear wheel drive, with a pretty stiff suspension (I don’t know why is so stiff, it was working like a normal suspension but I don’t know when it got bugged).
Controls
Roll to turn
Pitch to accelerate (you can
reverse too)
Brake is for... Brake
VTOL is for the gun elevation and depression
Yaw is for rotating the turret
AG-1: Activate lights
(The name is the combination of the two first letters of armored and car, it sounded good and i used it, that word is actually a word in spanish).
(I traduced it and it means “ark”).
I used the XML for reducing the power of the engine, reducing the scale of some lights and using “disableBaseMesh” on a rotator.
Just a little clarification.

@AnHNWhiteCornet i think is because i skipped the hull thing, you can see that the Serra Armored Car has those “bars” under the body of the car, mine doesn’t have that.
And also because I didn’t want to put fuel on a part with space already occupied, with the sides being a place with a lot of free space, i decided to use them.
I was think that the side fuel tanks could be dangerous, but since they’re located externally(I think) they seem pretty safe as long as a round doesn’t penetrate into the crew compartment
