With war on the horizon, the Stratocracy Armed Forces where caught under equipped and without any modern military weapons. An emergency development program was put into action, and within a relatively short amount of time, TD-1s where rolling off the production lines. The Rolling Fortress was, essentially, two different vehicles combined into one, as a stopgap while new vehicles are developed. It's single 100mm gun was powerful enough to punch through most tanks, and could take a few direct rounds before being destroyed itself. It featured a large shovel & two lifting arms to remove obstacles and assist infantry when needed, as no current heavy lift vehicles where fit for bringing even near the battlefield. One notable occurrence is that on a fee odd occasions, the lifting arms and shovel where actually used in battle, often at rare close quarters battles to flip enemy tanks, rendering them inoperable. This usually only worked on the lighter medium tanks, as the arms weren't originally designed for this purpose.

Notes

• *Gun uses two cannons, one that's the actual gun, and a second that soley acts to simulate the backward blast of recoiless guns.
• *I've used sum(input*x) which tends to overshoot the rotation limit, so the avoid issues, when you go to cockpit view, two gauges pop up. The left shows which direction the gun is pointing horizontally, the right shows far the gun is pointed up or down. They use different faces, so they should be easy to differentiate.
