Groundhawker C17AIO

195 theshadow0222  7.7 years ago

The Groundhawker C17AIO is a working two seater, (although I recommend not being the gunner,) vehicle based on the russian A-40 KT tank, although this one is self propelled, and less a tank, and more a car with big guns. This thing serves multiple purposes, it can provide CAS and bomb strategic locations, (or just that convoy on that one island as I designed it to,) and can when necessary, the tank can drop out of the plane and parachute down to help ground forces.

Controls while flying are fairly typical.

Pressing 7 will drop all bombs.
Pressing 6 will drop the tank.
Pressing 5 will deploy the tanks parachute.
Press 1 to go forward, 2 to go backwards.
Use VTOL to rotate turret and use Trim to depress it.

Panzer Vor!

P.S. Seriously though, the gunner on this thing just has to hang on to the gun for dear life.
