The advent of readily available gyro's is what made this possible.
They have built fast tanks, floating tanks, flying tanks, and tanks that could be dropped from a plane. Well, those days are over.
When you have to go to your tank garage in the morning and try to predict how your day will go. Now you to can take that one tank on a drive and not have to worry about any situation that might pop up.
Tank mode: Throttle to about 10% and drive carefully with roll because if you get into a jam then full throttle and press Action group 1.
Now you are in fight mode. Retract your landing gear. (This can also be done on the ground for the classic tank profile.)
AG8 controls the track engines. Turn the off during flight to save fuel and for a quieter flight.
Pitch, is normal but yaw and roll are reversed. Roll spins you flat, while yaw banks you. (Altitude drops during banks.) When you have achieved your target altitude, reduce throttle to between 65%-69% and deactivate AG1.
This is hover mode.
When you want to land whether on land or water, extend the landing gears.
When driving in water mode be around 33%-50% throttle and AG1. (AG1 BTW turns off and on throttle control over the VTOL engine.)
Aim the turret with cockpit camera and turn turn with trim.
63 rockets and 20 infernos round out this heavily armed behemoth.
AG7 and VTOL up (Only UP) raises the access hatch. (Do not open when turret is 180 degrees.)
The mini-map in the cockpit is controlled with VTOL slider also so make sure that AG7 is off before adjusting.
That is all, go destroy stuff.
