Okay. I sort of rushed this(#onedaybuilds)lol. Anyway. This is my entry for EternalDarkness's Air Defence Challenge(please don't put it up against jets 'cus its from ww2). Anyway, I did have a deformed version of this(with missiles and stuff), but I took it down. Anyway, This design is really accurate(like dimensions and stuff), except for speed and tracks. Its an exact replica(I think). Anyway(again), here are the...
Controls:
Throttle: Power
Pitch: forward/ backward(don't suddenly switch directions or tracks might break)
roll: turning(don't turn too much/ too hard)
To have recoil effect on guns, you have to hold down "Brake" while firing(I can't get my on screen keyboard in SimplePlanes to type fireGuns in XML, read my profile description). If you dont want to use the recoil accessory, turn off AG8
VTOL: gun elevation/ depression
TRIM: gun rotation
Tracks perform best when off road(oh yeah this has real tracks)
The Flakpanzer IV "Wirbelwind" (Whirlwind in English) was a German self-propelled anti-aircraft gun based on the Panzer IV tank. It was developed in 1944 as a successor to the earlier Möbelwagen self-propelled anti-aircraft gun.
It usually has three crew members in the turret, one driver and one hull gunner.
This design is roughly 1:1 scale. Using in game measurements, it almost has the exact dimensions of the real life counterpart and the same rate of fire 450 rounds per min. each gun(total of 1800 rpm).

War thunder anyone?
Autoaiming.
@DarDragon You should update this build. With the newly added automatic aiming, I suppose this would be a blast to play with.
@ThomasRoderick Thanks!, oh but I changed the rate of fire of the guns to be as realistic as possible
Other than the fact that the guns are wrong (I'm more than sure gatling guns don;t exist back then), nice build!
@ZHUAREVONI OOOh, thanks! I'll use your advise in my future tank builds
i really like this tank, to reduce the easy damage at move it you should reduce the mass scale to 0.25 in every part, this reduces the stress in the tracks, and add a gyroscope with a high power but low stability to turn it
@RailfanEthan This is what you use when Russia throw flying tank at u
penetrates tank
