@RussOurs Thank you! Of course after a while and after you keep building you'll get the hang of it. My advice is check reference photos of actual vehicles, their dimensions and shapes and what not. It won't hurt to take inspiration of some real life vehicles and eventually you'll begin to create your own. I bid you good luck and am looking forward to your future builds!
@RussOurs the hull of this was indeed my first try at making a tank hull. My knowledge on tanks when building it was non existent and just based on pictures. I'm sure you'll improve as you go and will be able to build your own hulls. Am surprised and glad to see it getting upgraded!
@TastyTanks I did consider having the ball, but I thought the building is wide enough to not topple over. I also tested the building with SP's wind settings and the dampers worked against it too however the shock absorbers did break on stronger winds. If the building were to be higher, then I might add the ball
@AWESOMENESS360 Yeah! The teacher did say to just provide a sketch or illustration, but I saw this as a perfect excuse to practice with pistons and shock absorbers
@dTitanplanesb Yep, that's why when testing I used loose plates instead of the actual building. Not a full representation but I think its good enough. Maybe one day I can recreate a model of the base and see if it really works
Originally wanted to build the very first variant, then work up to the "definitive" variant like the Sherman and other WW2 mediums, but that'll be too repetitive and too much work and since this is basically a glorified Sherman, I just decided to build the definitive, if that makes sense.
@tsampoy Thanks! I do get a chuckle from watching meme death animations, and I watch a few clips here and there so I have a general understanding of the game but have not tried it
@Blue0Bull Thank you! I did disable, well I think I did, the collisions of the tracks. When I nudged them to snug up against the suspension(which also has disabled collisions) then they started to glitch, from what I saw its more of the shocks and fuselage parts connecting the wheels that are the problem although there could be some other parts that are causing the problem, but then again it is a learning experience for me and I hope I can do better in the future.
@caspernobel Thanks! If you wanna see more I've built some other tanks before. As for Tracks 2, there's already a link to the mod listed in the Required Mods
@Solarisaircraft yeah... I too have a difficulty running my ships because they produce too much lag, that's why I can't check if their performance is realistic after I've completed them.
@Norag33 thank you!

That's actually a pretty nice looking turret.
@tucan Thank you very much!
@ChrisPy Thank you! And yes, the drag did slip my mind during the build since I haven't built a plane in a while. I'll keep that in check next time.
Next build not sure yet. Either a CAS aircraft or a lightly armored tank destroyer.
Beautiful

@tsampoy I'm always happy to use SP in a school project whenever I can, and its also allows me to build stuff I haven't tried before
@dTitanplanesb that sounds like a really cool project, and it standing up to 9.0 is really impressive
@AWESOMENESS360 Yeah! The teacher did say to just provide a sketch or illustration, but I saw this as a perfect excuse to practice with pistons and shock absorbers
@Aeromotive this is the first cool project we got, so I decided to make the most out of it
@dTitanplanesb Yep, that's why when testing I used loose plates instead of the actual building. Not a full representation but I think its good enough. Maybe one day I can recreate a model of the base and see if it really works
@YoDudeChase Thanks! And yeah from my research it's really uncommon, I decided to do this for complicated reasons
@hRmm E8 was indeed my main inspiration, with the spaced armor, inspired by Panzers, being a last minute addition
@BaconAircraft c h o n k
@Abakan12 Thank you!

@Alta2809 now that's a coincidence

@Spangsege I'm trying to make tanks without the mod, but it'll take as I'm currently working on other stuff

Oops, deleted the wrong thumbnail, my bad. Now there's two angles of the tank firing an Inferno.

@SoutherPasificAirwaysCEO Here Due to the wheels, it doesn't work as good as the one with tracks

@CalebRepublic I based it off several self-propelled howitzers, some of them have long guns
@Shadowed noted, it's my first time using orthographic view and I wanted to see how it would look
+1@spefyjerbf Thanks!
@Homemade hehehe, 1:1 scale was my original plan, but the game, or my laptop couldn't handle it, so I had to improvise
@Metalsaurusnerf thanks!
I really like these mobile suit builds, I shall look forward to more of them

+1@typeZERO @FoxTrotOne Hmmm, maybe in the future, but no promises
@EngineerOtaku thank you!
@Wi1dSk7 Thanks!
@Nerfaddict I didn't expect them to spin while building them, so I was very happy when they did
