This was my first time making a custom thumbnail so im excited to see how this works out :D
The General Dynamics Land Systems Abrams X was unveiled at a U.S. Army Exposition in October 2022 as a successor to the ageing M1 Abrams. Its design was heavily influenced from lessons learned in the Russia-Ukraine War, such as saving main gun ammunition for heavier targets, and the need for heavy secondary armaments to engage lighter targets effectively. Thus, GDLS's solution was a 30mm chain gun that belongs on a helicopter... idk whether to be mad or ok with it but it looks kinda cool, anyways.

The turret is camera controlled and features a neat little rotator system that keeps the camera level to assist aiming over diverse terrain.
Controls are Trim+Yaw
AG2 for lights, enjoy!

@dekanii 👍
@MetallicBeef6572 no further updates made on the Abrams X yet
@dekanii how close are we to releasing?
@dekanii 👍
@MetallicBeef6572 yes
- now i have implemented my FCS on the AbramsX, it should work by now
- changed the tank tracks to my design
- made the front fo the tank hollow for upcoming interior now.
- planning to add Multi Function Displays, but I'll guess ima just stick with normal display with informations
- also if you dont mind i have made the AbramsX in combat layout, not a sole prototype (so 50% replica, 50% kinda fictional)
@dekanii May I ask how things are going? No rush
@MetallicBeef6572 i havent posted it yet, later on
@dekanii Can u tag me an unlisted?
@dekanii Cool, thx
@MetallicBeef6572 i have added FCS that allows you to control the turret manually via Pitch & Roll, or thru gunsight, plus with FT assistant when you are locked on to a target
@dekanii How's the version coming? No rush I'm just curious
