Based tank is back, and if you complain go stick your 21st finger into a blender kthnxbye
Controls:
Idk WASD for tracks ig lmao im a mobile player
AG1+pitch+roll = Turret and gun elevation
AG2+pitch+roll = ROWS control
AG7 lights
The M1E3 Verlander v3FAP(Future Armor Project) is a relatively light Main Battle Tank, (55 tons with TUSK, 50 without.) Uses the new 130mm RBHA-449 gun with CBT-32-3 APFSDS rounds that are capable of penetrating 1500mm of RHA equivalent. Powered by a 1690hp Gas-Turbine engine it can reach speeds up to around 100km/h (probably not simulated in game idc cry about it). And is relatively capable of defeating most muddy terrain. Its equipped with 3rd generation Night Obserastion Devices and 3rd generation thermal imaging. It has both a 30mm ROWS and a CITV, to allow the commander to find targets if either one is destroyed. The 30mm ROWS is equipped with both HE and APFSDS rounds, capable of going through most non tank armored vehicles. It's a tank idk what else you want from it, it goes boom and vroom and zoom guy.
Screenshots (both reused from "offensive" (for losers) and relatively new ones.)
Credits to basically the entire SPRP simpland, NWRP and that one other server. Special thanks to Vincent (idk his sp name lol Swedish man) for posting the non offensive version and its screenshots, Chee/Zee/the Muslim guy/White(?) For posting original version and screenshots. Spandex for the CITV, and thanks to whoever else I forgot because this tank has been a cancer for the past few months as some yall such absolute snowflakes you had to remove it. Get a life dude.

I like it a lot, but from the perspective of an actual military vehicle, I have a few criticisms.
.
The length:width ratio feels off. An actual tank would either be less wide, or more long to fit the ratio (preferably smaller to be harder to hit). This is so it can easily cross trenches or other divots, while still being able to turn quickly. This would be able to turn easily, but have issues on offroad terrain.
.
Speaking of turning, it feels like this turns unrealistically quickly, along with acceleration and top speed being too high.
.
The main gun firing APFSDS makes sense, but by the time MBTs used APFSDS, APHE shells were obsolete, so I feel like APHE being included on the main cannon would make no sense and be a waste of ammunition stowage. Another issue with the secondary armament is the fact that it does shoot APFSDS. A 30mm gun is far too small to shoot APFSDS while still being useful against enemy armor, so it would likely only have HEAT-FS and HE.
.
Speaking of armament, the lack of machine guns is scary for the crew. Infantry with anti-tank guns such as BMG rifles and RPGs would tear this to shreds. I feel like a commander mounted machine gun along with a coaxial machine gun would be a fitting addition. The reason I do not include the 30mm gun is because it does not have enough ammunition to sustainably fire on large amounts of infantry. If it had a capability to reload a separate box of ammunition, I would remove this paragraph.
.
Another issue with the armament is the ammunition. 200 130mm shells would take up a humongous amount of space, discounting the 30mm shells. Assuming the back of the turret is for ammunition stowage, 30 130mm shells seems a lot more realistic.
.
My final comment on the armament is about turret rotation, along with gun depression and elevation. The turret elevates and rotates WAY too fast, which would be a threat to infantry support, along with any vehicles or structures (along with the tank barrel itself). I feel like it should have more depression, but that is fine. However, the elevation is unrealistically and unnecessarily high. Unless this is an anti-aircraft vehicle, anything more than 25 degrees is unnecessary. Plus, with a 130mm gun breech, the turret basket would be repeatedly hit by the breech when it elevates to anything too high. Also, the 30mm gun clips through the roof.
.
Finally, the engine appears to have no radiator. It would overheat and break down quite often.

Finally, what I like about the tank:
From a cosmetic standpoint, this tank looks phenomenal, much better than what I could do. That alone warrants an upvote. I like how you modeled ERA, and I feel like the depression feels realistic, especially how it has less near the back. I like how you realistically modeled vision ports (except for the gunner, who would be blind), and included crew equipment externally. Ground pressure is good, along with ground clearance. On the turret, there appear to be blowout panels and composite armor.
Tl;Dr: Good tank cosmetically, included many features which many would overlook, but in a realistic scenario, it either would be unable to perform as well as it does in SP or it would be outclassed by 1980s MBTs.
I hate it
@GeneralWilbur because it used to have "warcrimes are my passion" and the word racism on it lol
Me omw to upvote this before an incel gets offended and tells it to ed
virgin
@TankerWithATankard ok my bad, sorry for misunderstanding
What map did you use in those pictures?
@HTTPCREATION1O2 2gb ram moment
The part count hurts
@TankerWithATankard yeah but the Bradley is an IFV, this is an MBT
@TankerWithATankard The Bradley is an IFV, and uses its 30mm cannon as its primary armament. However, this tank has a 25mm gun which is intended for lightly armored vehicles and infantry, where next to no penetration is needed. The main gun already has APFSDS, and does not need an additional gun which is loaded with APFSDS.
@TFK001 I actually have no idea how the stabilizer worked, as it was done by a friend l lmao. Also yeah the critiques are really interesting ngl
also I tried to slow turret rotation down, but that completely messed up the stabilizer, so unless you want me to post an unlisted version so you can fix the stabilizer it will sitll be way too fast
@TemporaryBrightness yeah I knew you weren't going for realism, but I like critiquing fictional tanks from a realistic standpoint, and tbf this is better than most tanks from AAA games.
@TFK001 also, sure, just make sure the auto credit is there ofc.
@TFK001 This comment is gold worthy, also, the tank wasn't made to be realistic for sp as alot of things I couldn't control like tracks and gun controls, as I did this on mobile and handed it off to other players due to lag. I wanted to add one and canonically it had an m240 on it, but again, mobile moment so could add. I play on a 2gb tablet and phone lol.
Otherwise I absolutely agree with critism. And yeah the amount of shells is unrealistic but tbh I wanted people to have fun in sp and shoot stuff down kek, also yeah ROWS trash but took me a week so just added it. Thank you lots for the critism and I will take it into consideration when I build my next build in like a year or sumn lol. pinning it so people also see the faults and maybe fix their tanks if they have any too. 10/10 comment
also would you mind if I posted what I feel like would be a more realistic variation of this tank to my profile?
@Grob0s0VBRa oh wow someone actually noticed, supposed to be an oil filter but redbull can sounds funnier lmao
That suppressor, is it a Red Bull can?
@Subnerdica how to speedrun report abuse button 😈😤
