Cromwell

105k RailfanEthan  7.6 years ago

Named after British Civl War general Oliver Cromwell, the tank was used from 1944 to 1955. The 75mm cannon wasn't the best against a Tiger, but quick reload time was very helpful. The 600hp engine also meant it could outrun most tanks, as usually done by the French.


Controls:
1 activates spotlight
VTOL moves the cannon
Pitch is forward and reverse
Now, I wanted to experiment. I've put in two steering systems for you. Yaw actually moves the wheels, and roll uses power to turn. It doesn't matter which you use, it's whatever makes you more comfortable.

Enjoy!

    Hope you ain't talking about the black slave trade that Britain abolished 20 years before America... African American salves lived like kings compared to the European slaves the Muslims captured from the 1400s-1800s. @MeetThyDoom

    @PlanesOfOld No....admittedly we did lose a lot of celebs n all, but 2016 was a rather good year for the Brits. And I agree, 20th century was pretty bad, but I think the last few generations have mucked up in terms of mannerisms, brains, etc. There was far less violence like we see of everyday all over the world. Less terror attacks, less shootings, etc. The world was a slightly more civilised place back in 20th century except slavery and child employment Cough slavery cough

    @PlanesOfOld It's somewhat similar to the American Civil War general Sherman (Also had the tank named after him). Sherman was on the Union/North, and marched his troops through the South burning farms and towns. However, after the war, everything had to be rebuilt. This was still in the process 50 years later when America joined World War 1.

    He was regarded as a hero somewhat after he died, and what is taught about him in schools is what he did that was good, (he did do quite a few good things) it's just I know a bit more about his gruesome side, and I personally don't like him at all. But still, an interesting and important historical figure. @RailfanEthan

    @PlanesOfOld I based it off of a color camo from the game "Battle Supremacy"
    And I was unaware of his past.

    Oliver Cromwell was essentially the British version of hitler he seized power from the King beheaded him burned thousands of Roman Catholics pillaged hundreds of Irish and Scottish villages killing numerous women and children, and basicly used a civil war to grab power, thankfully he was dug up by royalists after he died, and he was beheaded and hung, his head was mounted on a spike at the Tower of London, thankfully Charles II a far better leader came over from France (he was the closest relative of Charles I the king who was beheaded) anyway. British history is fun. U Mercians are missing out on it. That's what you get when your country is older than 250 years lol
