INFO
Making it's debut in 1980s and taking part in some peacemaking missions, BM-3 quickly became main staple of its army and a favourite between tank crews. Starting from BM-3mod.0 and over the course of the years BM-3 got upgraded to being the most versatile, moderately priced and easily produced tank by the 2000s
Current version, BM-3mod.3, has evolved to the modern battlefield conditions and still packs some punch against whatever enemy throws at it

TOTally USELESS COMMENTARY
Ive spent a sh8ton of time on this project, didn't model a couple things because the part count started to become too much for me. I really luv how this turned out, it is my favourite build on the entire platform

@TheRLAF i see now
So sad that sheit goes like this . I won't stop posting tho
@MoHoJIiT
That's usually how sh8 goes on here
That's actually a really big grief with the people on this website
They can't take SH8 seriously
Like sometimes it's fine
But god does it piss me off
@ManManTheWeaponsMan
What?
Wow, shitpost got more ups than the project i spent nerly 20 days on
@MoHoJIiT No problem!
@ManManTheWeaponsMan thanks man, this knowledge is really useful for me
@tetozz took me five years to find this out. It really helps with making custom tank tracks without mods.
@ManManTheWeaponsMan That's something new i have learned today
@MoHoJIiT This is absolutely beautiful.
.
To fix the problem about the square hitboxes of fuselages, simply add a setting to the part using xml. Name this
convexMeshand set it totrue..
Hope this helps.
