I know the whole point of the A.910 MBT is to provide a universal MBT for a modern era, though I personally feel that Soviet-style MBTs don't provide quite adequate protection or firepower for what should be a modern tank, even if it comes somewhat cheaper than Western-style tanks.
I know another point is for member nations to be able to freely modify the A.910, but would it be acceptable for me to provide a semi-official variant to compliment the base MBT that would add upgrade packs found on many Western cast turret tanks?
Mainly I'd like to add blocky addon armor and a main gun compatable with NATO ammo stockpiles, as well as possibly add more complex fire control systems, even if it makes the variant more expensive.
.
Even if the idea of a complimentary variant is unnecessary, its something I'd like to develop when I have the time in the coming month.
I've got an older nation which needs some info updated, the Ostpreußen Reich. Its got a flag and lore which needs to be added to the prior listed forum, capability to produce domestic vehicles, and I've been past gold longer than a fair few people on the site.
I would be interested in contributing to a new MBT since developing AFVs is what I've spent most my time focusing on the past few years.
Wing surface as in the overall size of the primary wings. What you have looks to not provide enough lift fof the size of the plane, so just stick a large wing in there without ant control surfaces so it doesnt mess with the wings already there.
@GUEVANAERONAUTICS
Sorry about the delay, I don't check the website very frequently.
So I tried downloading your plane and it has a mod thats pretty irrelevant since fuselage slicing was added, I wasn't able to test fly it because of that fuselage bomb bay mod so I can't exactly see what this "bending forward" problem is.
@GUEVANAERONAUTICS
.
Edit: after connecting the pieces together with the connection editor so it doesnt fall apart, it seems that your rear gear are too far forward so the tail collides with the ground and causes weird physics. Not to mention you've got very little wing surface and small elevators for such a heavy aircraft so that would really need to be improved.
I currently have no plans to remake or remaster this tutorial. My priortities are working on various AFVs that are all linked on my bio.
Though when it comes to yaw problems, just make a very large rudder piece with no control surfaces and then scale it down until its almost impossible to see before nudging it into the airframe. It greatly helps with yaw performance. Roll on the other hand, the ailerons really should be on the outermost edges of the wing, and as long as the flying wing isnt terribly wide then control surfaces that cover maybe the outer quarter of the wing should be more than enough. If not, then just nudge several wings with roll control inside each other or make one really big wing and scale it down so it fits inside the wing shape youd like.
@GUEVANAERONAUTICS
They hadnt worked for years because of a bug with links from Imgur. I dont plan on fixing it because of how grossly outdated this tutorial is.
@GUEVANAERONAUTICS
Just from glancing over the images and the MBT in the designer, the first critique I can make is that the hull dimensions seem to be on the larger size for the size of the turret. Either the hull would have to be trimmed down or the turret widened to look more "proportional" to each other.
The turret shape looks pretty solid, the pop-up missile launcher and dual gun setup is a pretty neat idea, though if you wanted to go more realistic then it would be good to scrap the missile launcher all together and change to a single gun to make space for crew and main gun ammo.
Lastly, I'd think this MBT and any future ones you make could really do with hatches and optics. They tend to be kinda small details in the grand scheme but they greatly improve the looks of the tank and that "realism" everyone strives for in the MBT-building sphere.
Aside from these little nitpicks, I personally think the overall design is pretty solid, plus I really appreciate you placing some basic interior details like the engine and fuel tanks, it just needs detail work to make it pop and get some attention.
After really looking at this, all I can say is my initial reaction was incredibly rude and definitely an overreaction. What initially weirded me out about your successor build of my Rastus was how it was almost entirely invisible in the hanger and the three-view on the website here. I apparently didnt think to test fly it to see if it was the same there, but in reality it looked perfectly visible.
Looking at it there, I can see a respectable amount of work went into rebuilding and combining various different users parts into what you uploaded, minus two spots I saw (single bar by the cockpit that belonged to the ladder and an unpainted tail wheel) that felt out of place on it.
In all, while you may of accidentally managed to bypass the successor system my reaction was definitely uncalled for when yoy made a pretty impressive rebuild of my original work.
Hopefully this apology makes up for me being incredibly rude to you in your original upload, I'm sorry.
You can use such symbols if used for an aircraft to represent that specific part of Germany's history on a vehicle, historical or fictional, just it's mainly oriented towards stopping people from trying to use it just as shock value or offensive means on vehicles that aren't from prior mentioned part of history.
Personally, despite the floats not coming out how I originally wanted, I'm pretty alright with how they are now. Not the best, but definitely still work.
And yeah, I predominantly make AFVs over ships and aircraft as of recent, and try to link as many of what I finished onto prior mentioned forum post.
And hey, if you do upload something eventually, do be sure to mention me so I can get a look at it!
@DragonAerotech
Oh, right, rotating 45°.
Yeah, I tried that, but it didn't look terribly amazing so I made it like you see now.
And have messed with Tracks 2 quite a bit, even back when it was on mobile, just not very much if anything gets uploaded.
@DragonAerotech
Glad you've enjoyed it so much! And to be honest, not the biggest fan of using other peoples styff usually, but wouldn't hurt to look at those floats when I get the time.
@DragonAerotech
Thats neat
@Pilotgoose
Yeah, I barely remember making it. Surprised you've even found it.
@Ryuuishere
Would it be too soon to suggest development of another Universal AFV project?
Something like an APC or IFV would be interesting to develop.
Yes the Leo 2A6 has that arrowhead addon armor, though I'm talking about the Leo 1A6 which has flatter face armor addons.
@Yourlocalhuman
Blocky addon armor in the vein of the Swiss Panzer 2000, the South African Olifant, and the German M48 Super and Leopard 1A6.

Do both ammo stowages have blowout panels? I dont think I see any modelled on your vehicle.

I'm pretty sure it just looks like they just reskinned the old solid landing gear for the new wheel.
Basically what did become actual aircraft during the Cold War in some way or another was influenced by German prototype aircraft.
Probably an unlisted RP post has that record
Betcha if you added more deck guns it'll sit more stable during those waves
