And those caissons go rolling alongggggggg

Background

  • (wiki)
    The M36 tank destroyer, formally 90 mm Gun Motor Carriage, M36, was an American tank destroyer used during World War II. The M36 combined the hull of the M10 tank destroyer, which used the M4 Sherman's reliable chassis and drivetrain combined with sloped armor, and a new turret mounting the 90 mm gun M3. Conceived in 1943, the M36 first served in combat in Europe in October 1944, where it partially replaced the M10 tank destroyer. It also saw use in the Korean War, where it was able to defeat any of the Soviet tanks used in that conflict. Some were supplied to South Korea as part of the Military Assistance Program and served for years, as did re-engined examples found in Yugoslavia, which operated into the 1990s. Two remained in service with the Republic of China Army at least until 2001.
  • This one isn't based off of any particular Jackson, but is supposed to represent a late war M36B2. It has a hull mg unlike the mid war M36 and French variant, as well as a bunch of sandbags that don't really do anything. (Also uses the standard M3 90mm)

    @SemTrex thank you! I'll keep the suggestion in mind as I work on other stuff, but no promises for quality since honestly I'm not exactly the best tank maker lol

    Hi, hope you have a great day, I wanted to say that wow you are actually really talented and your crafts ars amazing. So I wanted to ask for a favor, if could you make a LAV-AD as one of your future projects. As it's a quiet cool vehicle, but there isn't an realistic or good looking craft of it for Simpleplanes. And if you want to make it you could actually pull off 2 builds at a time as you could make the LAV-AD and the LAV-25 as they use a pretty similar hull, only the turret is different. So if you would want to make it would be great if not it's alright as well. After all it's your choice.

    @Hahahahaahahshs same, I’m still shocked that there hasn’t been a single other M36 uploaded to the site since I made the first one over a year ago until recently
    (And turns out they’re a l s o by me)

    @Zead Here's a version with the aiming system exposed (and colored in red) just so you can get an idea of where everything is supposed to go (The yellow piston for the commanders view is just there to show where to pick it up)
    You'll also need the "UP1," "UP2," and "Direction" variables on it btw

    Could you send me the aiming system? I'm currently building a tank turret, and would like an off-center aiming camera like this.
