@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook last minute design change and personal preference. I based it off the Sud-Est Grognard, and I exaggerated the "neck" on my design, however I relocated the intake to the chin but kept the weird neck, and that's how it got here
@DieDieTheLoaf I based the plane off the Sud-Est Grognard, a French prototype attacker. It had the intake on top, and when I was designing mine I exaggerated it a bit, though I moved the intake to the chin last minute but I kept the dip because I quite liked it
@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
@sneekibreekiasu57 thanks! I did base this off the Challenger 2 TES, I just used the TUSK as a reference since the TES is just a demonstrator and I thought that the TUSK is more popular.
@DieDieTheLoaf oversight on my part, I thought it was rolling too much on the earlier version and I changed it, I thought it was fine

@Rillette21 oh I really like those
@MisterT I do like that a lot
@WarshipDude I tried to make it look unique as I didn't know what to build at first, I think it came out interesting
@tucan oh, you're right, thanks for pointing it out!
@tucan thanks! I'm glad you liked it!
@FA50PH thank you!
@JS01 thank you!
@mikoyanster Thank you! I will participate, and I'll definitely do my best!
@Norag33 thank you!
@JS01 thanks!
Beautiful

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.

@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!

@ChrisChrisThePy thanks! I think I get enough upvotes , and any highly appreciated!

@Spangsege I'm trying to make tanks without the mod, but it'll take as I'm currently working on other stuff
@BubbleLukasie thank you!
Oops, deleted the wrong thumbnail, my bad. Now there's two angles of the tank firing an Inferno.

Tracks
@CalebRepublic I based it off several self-propelled howitzers, some of them have long guns
@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!
@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
