Just a little something I whipped up in a day to stave off you guys. The 8 bit version of the AMX 50 Foch from the Christmas special in World of Tanks back in 2015.
Some music to go along as you read this.
Another cute tank. This time, a baguette.
CONTROLS:
WASD for main movement controls.
AG1 + VTOL and TRIM (traverse and elevation each) for the main and secondary MG.
Their angles are matched, so you can fire the MG 151/15 to mark a target, and then fire with the main gun, which can be done so by using the 'air to ground' targeting mode.
They fire very fast, with a 3 second delay, as this tank is an autoloader, with 30 rounds. Very explosive however, as the shells are actually scaled down Boom 25's; so use at medium to long distances.
Before you ask, no, reverse isn't faster, though you want to keep the speed generally below 20 mph, as gunning the engine faster and turning brings risk of flipping the baguette.
Enjoy!

@DerpyCookie17 Hehe. Well, there haven't been any since, but it certainly makes an impression.
Honestly I thought people forgot about the 8 bit specials. I don’t know if there have been any re appearances in the game but I only saw the very first one. I know about the 8 bit Karl tho.
@Adlerkrieg I'll look forward on it.
@marcox43 I'll look into it. I've got something special planned, though!
Excellent! Simpleplanes is perfect for 8bit creations now I come to think of it
could you make the Karl next? pls!
make some panzer ones, keep smol part count ples.
@Adlerkrieg thanks, I'll try to make an 8-bit or a low poly tank, and yeah true, sadly you can't, historical accuracy reduced by 60% xD
@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.
Btw. I want to make these too, but that would be copying the idea yes? Cause I have 0 ideas or skill
Not real french boi. It has to be faster backwards,
8-bit blocky boi
@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.
Super idea
