Tank Prototype Mk. 2

297 BrendoB47  5.9 years ago

This is a further expansion of my tank development. This requires the turret mouse control mod. It is by no means complete and any advice is welcomed. For the design, I was originally inspired by the Abrams, and the design evolved to take on aspects resembling the Maus and T29 (I am proud of that gun design). Through completion, I plan to fully implement four crew members: the Driver, already implemented, with the Cockpit as the camera; the Gunner, partially implemented, with the barrel cam as the camera (I plan to change this to a targeting sight located to the left of the gun); Commander and Loader. Both of these will be able to move from a position inside the vehicle, with the shown hatches lowered, to looking out the top, with the hatches raised. Currently, the hatches are implemented, but no cameras as of yet. The armament is one main gun containing 2 Boom 250-based shots. This amount is only reduced for testing purposes. A coaxal is also mounted directly to the right of the gun. As a modern design, this has a higher accuracy than normal. ACTION GROUPS: AG1: Activate Turret controls and release Safety on cannon. AG2 and AG3: Independently control the position of the turret hatches. I plan to implement a GPS map in both the Driver seat and Turret once all cameras are set up. The engines and gyroscopes are secured neatly in the interior of the vehicle.
