Poor thing.

"Schiesse, Hans! You drunk too much beer again! Zis is unacceptable!"

The Adorable (and deadly) Toyger!*

*Toyger is also a term for a breed of cat, which was created an effort to give a traditional tabby characteristics of a 'toy Tiger'.

DESC:

It is April 20th, 1942. Adolf Hitler's birthday. Two tank designers, Henschel and Porsche compete to deliver the ultimate birthday present; a new type of breakthrough tank, requested by the Fuhrer as 'a new toy to beat back those newfangled Soviet tanks'!

Porsche's caught fire almost immediately upon just getting off the train. They had a tank with a front mounted turret, and a petrol-electric drive that didn't work very well.
Henschel's design was a middle mounted turret with a boxy design, an actual working engine, and it came wrapped in a present box!

Henschel won.

Problem is, Henschel took the 'toy' aspect of their construction too seriously, and the Fuhrer was gifted with this little adorable tank.

Rather than having everyone involved shot, he decided to give the tiny tank a chance. It's small size would, in conjunction with it's armor, be able to dodge and resist heavy amounts of damage. He ordered 1,350 of the little buggers.

...and now we're here.

This particular Toyger is a parody of Tiger 131, a Tiger tank captured in Tunisia in 1943, which is currently a driving exhibit at the Bovington Tank Museum.

Vorwarts, little catto, vorwarts.

CONTROLS:

Throttle to move forward. I suggest using only 15% or lower unless absolutely necessary, as this tank is very small, and very lightweight. This kitten loves doing backflips.

Yaw to steer. Don't push it to hard however, as the Toyger can flip.
AG1 + VTOL (gun elevation) and TRIM (turret traverse) to use those functions.
Use the Air to Ground targeting mode in order to use the rocket pods, of which 91 rockets are ready (close to the Tiger's real ammunition size of 92). And yes, you can cause havoc with those. The cockpit is already located in the sights, so just press F1 to aim.
<em>insert sadistic meowing here</em>

Ideal for use on flat ground.

Have fun with your adorable little 200 part tank! Just be careful, though. This furball is very finicky with what it eats.

This design is based on the Tiger tank of TonTon's Cat Army's papercraft series.

HECKING ADORABLE

Yes, I'm back after one and a half years. Don't worry, though, I've just finished another project that will be released in a day.

    Now we just need a sherman (as in the 76mm version) or a Sherman VC “Firefly” in the same style. Then we could do a little tiny smol bean of a tank battle!

    @typeZERO Well, I did say that it loves to do backflips. Might as well be a circus lion, this cat.

    @AWESOMENESS360 I'll see what I can do, but I'm not sure if I can get around to it. I'm working on an M4A2 76mm Quick Fix Sherman right now, after all.

    @Serotrillion1100 Dunno, I guess it's because I'm posting at a time that not many people are online. But welp.

    I see like 40 upvotes on other memeish tanks and I am questioning why this doesn’t have like 30 already.
