Kerbango Tank

89.5k Kerbango  7.1 years ago

That is right, I named this Lightweight Assault Tank after the founder of our company, Kerbango.
After all, the name is apropos, as a whole and the individual parts. (Bang, Go, Kerbang-goooooo!)

This little tank has been in my brain since I was quite young and playing with legos. The basic tank part, that is. Now through the wonders of simple planes I have been able to bring this to rest of the world to enjoy and to wonder in amazement at the awesomeness of this creation.
I would say that without Joco80 and cadin's ARMOR MOD, https://www.simpleplanes.com/Mods/View/586726/Armor , that this would have been about 25% less amazing.

Get into and out of the cockpit using the landing gear button.
Activate the ultra-powerful 5400 HP Crumbings Turbo diesel engines (hence the pollution) using * pitch, * allowing you to go forward and reverse. Tiny taps help unless you want to drag race, top speed around 250 MPH.
Steer with roll.

Armored with 2 inch thick vibranium/adamantium/unobtainium composite that makes the tank super lightweight, fast and maneuverable. So make sure to buckle in and have fun.
Armed with an impressive 6 mini gatling guns, 20 mini Guardians and 28 mini Infernos, find a nice spot, press AG1 and trim down to raise your nose to the proper height. This feature has been used during testing to get unstuck when the test pilot bottomed out on a small hilltop.

Oh and speaking of doing things for other than the intended purpose, when the tank flips, oh and it will. Open your cockpit but stay buckled in.
Hmmm, that just makes you want to flip it, doesn't it?
