M-157 "Starburst" Heavy Anti-Ground MBT

121k AWESOMENESS360  5.2 years ago

You guys remember the tank I made a while ago? Yeah, it's really bad, and I'm kinda disappointed with myself that I even uploaded it. (It was probably cool in comparison with my building standards when I posted it, but now I see it as one of my worst creations.) So to redeem myself, I've created a new tank, and this time, I pulled out all the stops, and really put a sh*t ton of effort into this! Meet, the M-157 "Starburst" MBT!

Here's some screenshots:

Here we see it, in all its glory.

This is the 30-Count Hellfire Missile rack, it fires 10 missiles at a time, allowing for three high-power missile strikes on the enemy!

Here we see it firing the 120mm Main Gun, the tank has 70 rounds into total, and as you can see, the muzzle flash is pretty impressive!

Here it is discharging all 30 Hellfires at once, demonstrating the immense amount of power it wields!

Complete with a full 360° rotating turret, a machine gun to fend off light armored vehicles and/or infantry, a powerful 120mm main gun, flares, a top speed of around 60+mph, and a missile rack with 30 Hellfire Missiles ready to complete obliterate even the most heavily armored ground targets, this is not a tank you'd want to mess around with.

Controls: Pitch and roll to drive, yaw to turn the turret, and TRIM to elevate the main gun. VTOL to turn the missile sight - to aim at targets without actually turning the turret, you can use this to your advantage. To arm the missiles, activate AG-1. To fire them, first lock onto your desired target, and then activate AG-2, AG-3, and AG-4. When fired, they come out in groups of 10, so every time, you press an activation group, you'll send 10 Hellfires straight to the enemy! Just don't forget to activate AG-1 first, or else you'll have unpowered missiles being launched off the rack, and exploding right next to you. AG-5 activates the headlights, for night missions.

Also, for some reason the gun gets stuck on the rear of the tank if it isn't elevated, so just elevate the gun a little bit, hold down on yaw, and it should be able to continuously turn all the way around.

I'm rather proud with this one, since I've been wanting to create another tank sometime in the future, and I think I've really outdone myself this time! And yeah, I got a lot of feedback on the teaser saying that all you'd need to do to destroy this thing was to shoot one of the missiles on the turret, and that it'd be really impractical, but then again, that's kinda what SimplePlanes is for! To create really stupid, weird, unnatural, maybe even a little unnecessary creations, and that's kinda the whole point of the game, tbh.

Anyway, enough bullshitery.

Have Fun!
