@PyrusEnderhunter I also feel Tigers are overrated.
Their primary value was psychological; the mere fact that it exists and that it is as powerful as it is claimed is enough to put fear into Allied troops. The instances where they did actually appear merely reinforced this perception.
Most Tiger tank sightings in combat were in fact lighter vehicles such as the Panzer IV; both tanks featured a boxy hull and turret in addition to a long-barreled gun with muzzle brake. At a glance under less-than-ideal visibility, it is easy to see how they could be confused.
@PhantomBladeCorp Nice! I've got a similar machine (the M9 Stingray).
Basically a Stingray light tank with an AGS turret. In service with the Paternian Army as 105mm Self Propelled Gun M9 Stingray, since they have no light tank category (abolished when the M65 MBT was adopted in 1959, although the M41 Walker Bulldog was always referred as a light tank until its retirement in 1975).
They were trying to use this to replace the M65, but that job went to Victoria (which is basically my version of the M1 Abrams) and supplemented the Victoria. Why?
Victoria, for its logistical burden (70 ton tank!) was effective, available, and proven; the Indian Army used 150 of them against the Awwami Army in the Kashmir, successfully negotiating mountainous terrain with ease better than other designs, and establishing itself as the Kashmiri Queen due to its heavy firepower, armor, and mobility.
@ThatTotalRando I am aware of that. However, the long list of broken promises of things that were supposed to be on release date will forever tarnish its reputation.
I've already got two: the 105mm Howitzer M484 and 155mm Howitzer M135 Paladin. The M484 is very similar to this, except it has a very different mount that faces backwards to allow the weapon to engage in direct fire. The M135 Paladin is a tracked vehicle influenced by the IRL M109 Paladin. @ErvenDynamics
How about we do another collab, specifically a series on armored trains? You can do the parts that go chuga-chuga choo-choo, and I do the parts that go pew-pew boom-boom. How does that sound?

@greatnova Some high-powered guns with gold have the pen to challenge portions of the T32's frontal turret.
A few can potentially challenge it with standard rounds. However, they are very few and far between.
Those are spaced non-explosive reactive armor modules, to defeat tandem-charge warheads. @Flash0of0green
@PyrusEnderhunter lol
Can you believe people actually use these things?
And I don't mean airshows. I mean shooting things.
The Lebanese Air Force has several on-hand. Just retired in 2014, in storage.
I think you missed the most notable achievements of the aircraft, notably long-distance flight.
In particular, John Alcock and Arthur Brown flew a modified Vimy in the first nonstop crossing of the Atlantic in an airplane in 1919.
Great build nonetheless.
@RailfanEthan I'm still open to a war train collab.
Chuga-chuga boom-boom.
Certainly. @Liquidfox
@LiamW Thanks!
Thanks! @RailfanEthan
Thanks! @shipster

I was wondering whether you could make a non-Mad Max version of this truck.
I am interested in such a project.
@TemDesBur It never saw service with the Paternian Army, but there were some export customers.
@TemDesBur Polish?
@Dynamicneedle Who did that?
@Dynamicneedle Ah thanks!

Np! @F4f879
It's okay. Everything I have is open-source, so feel free to use them at your pleasure. @Hayhayjam664

@helilover03 The Command and Conquer Roleplay. Interested?
@BrianAircraftsNew Thanks!
I'm just wondering where you got the guns from. They look awfully familiar.
Yep. @Zerokiller3
:( @RailfanEthan
Ok. @mikoyanster
How about we do another collab, specifically a series on armored trains? You can do the parts that go chuga-chuga choo-choo, and I do the parts that go pew-pew boom-boom. How does that sound?
I can submit an ARV, the M5A3 Victoria, and a command vehicle.
Beautiful work on the Degytrav machine gun.
Modern art. @Fjorge
My vehicle models are slightly oversized to make details easier to render.
Fortunately, you can scale things. @mikoyanster
I've been trying to tell him about the missile-spamming meta. @EternalDarkness
Welcome to the club!
Np! @marcox43
Neat. But this is quite old, you see. I've moved on to more complex systems. @CDRxavier
@NirvashTech
@JetFly Jerry dropped a table on Tom.
@Fjorge Of course.
I probably should have worded it better. I think that turning an unlisted build into a public build should count as uploading build to public.
@FlipposMC I'll make it Scottish.
Boaty McBoatface
While I like the idea, I could easily see it exploited by those who wish to spam all the planes.
I do believe there is a separate upload limit for unlisted and public posted uploads, 10 for unlisted and 3 for public.
The only way I see this working is that a public-to-upload limit be made.
Beautiful. It's the forced love-child of a Panther and a Tiger.
@phanps thanks!
@Epicfail I usually use lol.
I also think the part count may have a part with its low download rate.
@Epicfail lel
@phanps No problem!
Thanks! @phanps
