Designed in January of 1944 by Aero Automotive as a replacement for the M4 Sherman Medium tank to go up against new German tanks such as the Panther and Tigers, this tank features thicker armor at 100mm front/85mm side/76.2mm rear, a larger engine (1200 hp Packard V-1650 V12), 7 speed transmission, a 76.2mm M1 gun, and interleaved wheels and hull shape inspired by German tank designs with a top speed of 27.5 mph forward and an impressive reverse speed of 21 mph. Didn't get adopted due to the confusion it would cause on the battlefield due to German inspired Styling.
Only 15 examples of the A1 variant remain in existence due to the engineer being confident enough in the design to produce a small production run of them.
Controls
VTOL for forward and reverse
Trim for hull traverse
Yaw for turret traverse
Pitch for gun elevation/depression
This is a mobile friendly vehicle.

@jacephysicsboss
the T-34 turret will work with a design that I have in mind but need to find the time to create it, more of a failed multi turret design, just need to find the time to build it
@ThatAircraftCompany idk then
@Baby
Thought i should let you know about this design aswell
@MOPCKOEDNISHE
This is what I came up with using your mod, thank you for the effort put into the tracks, a truly beautiful mod you made.
@jacephysicsboss
This is my newest original tank design and not a modification of my previous tank, decided to just create a hull myself, the T-34 turret wouldn't work with this styling
