Found this on Wikipedia... To reliably penetrate the thick armor of modern armored vehicles, a very long, thin kinetic-energy projectile is required. The longer the projectile is in relation to its diameter, the higher the spin rate must be to provide stability. Practical rifling can only stabilize projectiles of a limited length-to-diameter ratio, and these modern rounds are simply too long. These rounds are instead formed into a dart shape, using fins for stabilization (see kinetic energy penetrator for information on how this works). With the fins for stability, rifling is no longer needed, and in fact the spin imparted by rifling would degrade the accuracy of a finned projectile. The first tank with a smoothbore gun was the Soviet T-62, introduced into service in 1961; today all main battle tanks except the British Challenger 2 and Indian Arjun MBT use smoothbore guns. The Russian navy conducted experiments with large-caliber smoothbore naval guns, which were halted by budget cuts.
Just some feedback on your awesome tool. When scaling down my MAZ, the wheel colliders were acting up (causing the truck to hover over the ground). Also, the car engine does not scale in power. I'll keep testing.
@Peps - @HellFireKoker is making a scale tool. I know another player (who I won't mention without his permission) has pushed for this tool. The tool is under construction since it is still a bit buggy. You can see his other interesting and useful mod here.
To have a successful beta, everyone who is in the beta really needs to test and post bugs. Try building things. Do you see problems? Try driving or flying different creations. Do you see abnormal behavior? Explore the islands, cross bridges and check out buildings. Are your creations running smoothly over the terrain? Are you hitting any hidden colliders? Try the AI, different challenges, and change around settings. Really try out every aspect of the game and try to report at least one bug. Restrain the urge to suggest new features since this period is all about fixing bugs. Also, remember to have fun!
@Kimo @JTM55 @Cedy117 @JoeAdkinson13 @Tieler - thanks guys. @BRuthless @MrMecha - Stone Age is best age! Also, I think @Spiritusraptor could pull off legs an feet on this quote well.
That's OK. I'm glad you had fun at the event. Walrus Jr. and I saw a show last year. He is about your age. It was a good father / son experience. @JacobHardy64
@Thefalloutplayr - I've heard it said that the armored bulldozer won the war. Without it the "Island Hopping" strategy would not have worked.
Look in the comments below. I've listed the link. Thanks for the comment! :-) @DankMeme

Beautiful creativity with this one. Actually The M1A1 is smooth bore. The Leopard 2A4 and 2A6 use the same gun. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheinmetall120mm_gun @SomeonesALTaccount
This car is totally awesome! I love going around the original island in it. Nice job, sir! Saved this guy for future fun.
+1Great job!
Sure I'll do that. @zackattack316
You Yabba Dabba Did it!
For scale... @xEliteGamingx
Wow! I just noticed that. @Redlord
Wow! @KerbalVehiclesCompany
You should Yabba Dabba Do that @Austinbryant
We can see that. Lol. @Austinbryant
About 10 minutes. I just wanted people to know what is possible with the right tools. The full size truck took 15 hours. @JMicah4
OK, so Walrus Jr. myself and Kevin Murphy (dev) looked at this and we all had a good laugh. This is awesome!
That made me laugh!

@EternalDarkness - No, I'm not a 9gager, but Reddit is awash with bananas for scale,
Now is your chance to grab really small parts...
@BaconAircrafts - Walrus Sr. here. Walrus Jr. is working on a big rig.
Thank you @HellFireKoder for your scaling tool. You do great work.
@Rohan - Lego man for scale https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/0U3X3Z/Lego-Man-For-Rohan
Sigh... I accidentally deleted the hangouts conversation between us. Would you mind setting up a new one?
Thanks @Ironghost ! Glad you like it.
Rock and Rick Roll @Notapier
Here is the Kevin we all know and love. You are the original best builder. Beautiful work WeeBaby!
sent you an email. @Rohan
Wow! Great car!
I'm really enjoying your build. Thanks for putting in all the effort!

Thanks for trying it out and for the nice comment @Skyfalcon
lol! @SkipperBing
Yes, of course. Let me know when you are done so I can check them out. @Seabo14
Sure, I'll do that. @Rohan

Thank you @PlanesOfOld You know, Walrus Jr. still flys some of your older designs from time to time.
@1217877330 - 4243435 is an odd composite number composed of four prime numbers multiplied together.
Thanks, Nick! @Nick7777
He is working on a big rig, so probably not. @Rohan
Sick build man. Nice job!
Civil Air Patrol? @JacobHardy64
Congratulations! Well deserved!
Sometimes we get mixed up when Jr. And I think we each upvoted a great creation. Sorry about that!

@Rohan How about this one? A favorite from my childhood
This is a really beautiful machine. A work of art!
We actually have a wonderful community. Few are as supportive as this one. Great individuals such as yourself are a big reason for this. @Rohan
Thanks very much, @MrSilverWolf
Willllllma! @Rohan
