I very much like this design, but I have a few questions concerning its functionality.
- Why does the vehicle have two gun rests, despite the gun not having an overall length that would require one, and having both of the gun rests too far away from the barrel to be usable?
- If this is a Main Battle Tank (MBT), why does it have such a high profile? Also, that hatch on the front armor slope would either be too heavy to open, or very weak to AP and HE Shells (including APHEFSDS, APFSDS, HESH, HEFS, APCR, and other types).
- How is the crew going to aim or see where they are going in combat without any optics, periscopes, viewports, or cameras?
- for a cannon of this size (what looks to be about a 50 - 60mm autocannon), a mid barrel fume extractor is unnecessary.
Despite these few things, Its a well built design, especially the ATGM pods.
About 5 minutes after I posted this, I realized it was broken. If you want to download this, I recommend you instead use the 4a variant, which I have posted on my account.
You have an EXTREMELY excessive number of air intakes. I'd reccommend experimenting with seeing how few you can get away with, in order to acheive a lower overall aerodynamic profile.
Also, try using the fuselage blocks instead of the single square blocks. It's worth it in the long run.
@suzutuki65 This is a bit of a long shot, but could I get your help with a project of mine? I have the basic shape of it worked out, but I'm having difficulty smoothing out the edges and getting it to look right.
If this is the first tank you've built, I'm really impressed. I've found it to be hard to get a tank with responsive controls, and this excels at it. I would recommend making the turret a bit bigger and adding mudcovers for the tracks, but it's still really cool. Nice job!
Could you add this to the steam workshop?

+3Absolutely Beautiful.
+1I had already built it before the tournament, so I'll post a link to it here.

@KnightOfRen Thanks! I much prefer it over the original.

@TomekHellFire Thanks!
+1@TomekHellFire I am making an improved version, with a full Body.
+1@TomekHellFire Not sure. Still trying to figure that one out. So far, I think the front tires are slipping on launch, but it might be something else.
+1@Strucker Thanks!, The belt on the Engine took an hour and almost all my sanity
+1@Sm10684 Thanks for the Spotlight, my dude!
+1I think the hull would look amazing with the Tracks 2 mod.
+1@Mustangflyer
+1Of Course, why not?
OH SHI-
+1This thing is a work of art.
+1The recoil pistons are a work of art.
+1Holy s*, this thing's Awesome!

Quite the interesting design.

Interesting Idea.
Holy shit. This is really cool!
@ItzBoeing Sounds interesting, I'll take a look!
A few words of advice:
You have an EXTREMELY excessive number of air intakes. I'd reccommend experimenting with seeing how few you can get away with, in order to acheive a lower overall aerodynamic profile.

Please teach me. I will pay money for you to teach me how to do this.
Holy shit
Teach me your method of doing this. This puts everything I've made to shame.
@suzutuki65 This is a bit of a long shot, but could I get your help with a project of mine? I have the basic shape of it worked out, but I'm having difficulty smoothing out the edges and getting it to look right.
HOLY SHI-
This is absolutely amazing.
@Stormfur This is a bit of a long shot, but would you be able to help me with a build of mine?
Beautiful.
@CharlesDeGaulle Cool! I gotta look into that!
Oh damn. TEACH ME YOUR WAYS, MASTER

This reminds me of the HSTV-L and the HI-MAG test program. It's very well built.
@WarshipDude Lol.
@WarshipDude Oh, ok.
Actually, where did the transmission & transfer case go?
@Nerfaddict Oh. Oh no. Yes. I- I don't know what to say.
lol
@WarshipDude If its a mid-placed longitudal engine, try having 2, with one on each side of the engine.
Oh, wait, nevermind. it has one. I just didnt see it.
Its epic.
Actually, if you want, you can make a subassembly out of the air filters on my version and use it for that engine.
I fookin' love it.
HOLY SHI-
@WarshipDude Cool, Thanks!
@WarshipDude Nice!
@TheTomatoLover Thanks!
This gives off vibes from the Vickers independent. I love it.
This is beautiful. I love the way the cage armor looks. Have you tried using the Tracks 2 mod?
Damm, that’s a good idea.
