First off thank you to MrVaultech for modding the parts for me and helping with the build.
Background:
In 1944 when New Zealand needed to create its own tank because of the threat of Japanese invasion, Bob Semple stepped up to share his idea. He wanted to make an armored vehicle from a D8 Caterpillar similar to the Disston Six Ton. The original plan was to have a 40mm from the British in the turret but due to gun shortages so they had to put another Bren in it. They also wanted it to be made from local resources and not using American superstructures. Sadly it was never adopted and only 3 prototypes were made.
Controls:
1: Turret (VTOL: turret traverse Trim: gun elevation)
2-6: Bren guns (same controls)
Roll: Tank Traverse
Thank you.

Thanks so much that’s the reason I made it @Kent1345
Omg i thought as a meme but someone did it damn i love this
Yes behold @LostCausesIncorporated
ITS THE HOLY TANK
@SuperSix i'm curious as to whether it could be crushed by a real tank
It would be effective against infantry but not so much against armor @GeneralPatrick2
@SuperSix yeah, i guess you're right, i'd have loved to see this actually fighting against enemies
It was very sad @GeneralPatrick2
i'm unsure of how sad it was that it was never adopted not gonna lie
Thx @OrangeConnor
Awesome! like a A7V but on the cheep! glorious! if only it was Russian.
@Mtech
2 others did but not as detailed as this
No one? @Mtech
Number 1 @Noname918181
Top ten overpowered anime characters
Yes @AmazingAidan
It was too powerful for new Zealand to handle so they didnt adopt it
@SuperSix exactly
Just spend the time and make mobile friendly tracks
It’s so annoying to deal with that @Mustang51
@SuperSix after suffering with downloading a bunch of tanks without tracks, I wouldn’t use mods either since I know the feeling lol
Np I knew this would be a hit tank and I can’t do mods because I’m ios but i wouldn’t use them anyway @Mustang51
I’m a simple man; I see a bob Semple tank, I upvote. (Thanks for doing this without mods too!)
Oh no its the SOB BEMPLE!
