@JuanNotAnAlt Shit's wack. I spend two years of my life on a virtual tank when I could've gotten a job and all I'm getting at the end of the first day is 16 upvotes...

@DerpyCookie17 If you'd stop spamming the comment section for one second, you would've seen that I posted the reduced part version (unmodded), and the very first comment I posted specifically states that you can download the tank, load it in, and then press undo and redo to load it without the mod.
@7lite Thanks! I'm thinking of making more 8 bit tanks like this one, if I get enough upvotes, but for now, replicas, and a few chibi things here and there.
@JuanNotAnAlt
Yeah the non-interior version just slipped off the front page. I'm not even going to bother posting the mobile version, because the way things are going I'm 99% confident that it's just going to die in new.

Well, shit - I did get everything typed up today, but to release it now would mean I'm releasing it in the dead of night... which would net me even worse visibility than this post. So I'm posting it tomorrow. I'd rather I have as many people see it as possible.
@JuanNotAnAlt Oh, no worries! I'm actually pretty happy to hear that. The mobile version will come though, I do have to help out around the house tomorrow to prepare to move out so the mobile version might take a bit longer, but the interior version is completely ready to go - all I have to do is make some good artwork showing everything off and then post it.
@JuanNotAnAlt Yup, I made sure to turn all of that off so it doesn't chug on performance. He's probably not going to be able to run the interior version with some 4,000+ parts though...

I managed to get on a new computer and I discovered that Steam syncs all your files. The Panzer IV interior turret is not lost. More coming fairly soon.
@Flash0of0green No, I do, it's just the tedium of angling all those edges in a turret ring; and if the angle is too big, or too small, or the block itself isn't the correct length, it just doesn't work. So, it's a personal choice.
@DerpyCookie17 Something about a virus? Not my fault, and I have no idea what is causing it on your end. And, no, I wasn't trying to be rude. I'm just very blunt about people who spam. It really gets on my nerves when you could sum up your thoughts in one comment, and not six.
And I did say that this isn't exactly mobile friendly, even without the interior...
NOTE: Not mobile friendly, just to let you all know. I will release a mobile friendly version later.
And as for the tank gun control mod, if you want to still try using the tank regardless, just reload the tank (by pressing undo and redo) so it gets rid of the tank control part.
@Flash0of0green Exactly. On top of that, it is extremely hard to make a perfect circle with this method, and would take me literal days of angling, and nudging the parts into place.
Plus, making a ring using fuselage parts would add even more to the extensive part count my hull already has. Unlike other people, I built the tank suspension, tracks, and running gear entirely from scratch instead of using wheels. So, that is a dilemma over sacrificing quality over performance.
@Flash0of0green And, I may...but I am working on a German tank right now with an interior for the crew. Though I have a dilemma, since SP doesn't have any ring pieces with holes in them, it means I'm going to have to make the turret entirely separate, unless someone else has a solution.

@210100 Eeh, debatable, but I do love how they look at least.
@JuanNotAnAlt I'd say give it time... I'm still optimistic.

@Sturm Yup, still here. Been quiet since I'm working finishing the Panzer IV H. It has over 3,600 parts currently.
Life has gotten in the way. Anyone who wants to finish this thing where I left off, feel free to do so... of course, just credit me when you do.
@RAAF Ugh, I just haven't found the time recently.
I managed to get on a new computer and I discovered that Steam syncs all your files. The Panzer IV interior turret is not lost. More coming fairly soon.
@Donger NO, NO, NO
THAT NOISE...
CANNOT DEFEAT MEEEEEEE
Goshdangit, I love Captain Diomedes.
@PyrusEnderhunter THE TECHPRIESTS ARE MORE THAN IMPRESSED WITH THEIR WORK.
@AnelGaming You would be right...except it's not the size of a van, no, it's the size of your average cottage.
I see someone else harnesses the machine's spirit.
I have another WH40K tank in the works.
Soon.

@Tank6376 It's fine. Maybe I can get around to making a KV some day.
@Tank6376 You asked before, and saying it like that, I can't just take requests from everyone and anyone. Sorry.
@AdlerSteiner Danke, danke! Sure am getting more praise than Hermann Goering, that's for sure.
@DerpyCookie17 I'll see if I can whip up a small mockup model for you. Hold on!
@DerpyCookie17 Hehe. Well, there haven't been any since, but it certainly makes an impression.

Apologies.
@Eggplant Danke! Krupp is happy to serve you.
@CRJ900Pilot Thanks! I was having an itch to make my own rendition of the Panzer IV for awhile now, and so far, I think it's my most well done tank.
EDIT: Reduced part version is up! It can be found here:

@marcox43 I'll look into it. I've got something special planned, though!
@RedViper Hehe, well, you can't vary the horsepower for a certain direction, so I did my best.
And, I'm fine with you making similar tanks. I'm just pioneering the concept.
@GINGER01 Glad I could provide substance for you. Good luck!
@Flash0of0green Decided, then. The turret will be separate from the hull, and dividing it from the hull will be just a fuselage inlet piece.
@Flash0of0green Exactly. On top of that, it is extremely hard to make a perfect circle with this method, and would take me literal days of angling, and nudging the parts into place.
Plus, making a ring using fuselage parts would add even more to the extensive part count my hull already has. Unlike other people, I built the tank suspension, tracks, and running gear entirely from scratch instead of using wheels. So, that is a dilemma over sacrificing quality over performance.
@Flash0of0green And, I may...but I am working on a German tank right now with an interior for the crew. Though I have a dilemma, since SP doesn't have any ring pieces with holes in them, it means I'm going to have to make the turret entirely separate, unless someone else has a solution.
