@BOSSentinel hey man, I’m trying to find someone to help me out with my build. If you have time, will you check out my “SU-52 Hammer” I just posted about 20 mins ago? I would really appreciate it, thanks!
@Graingy yeah, the lack of knowledge because of the limited tutorials caused me to be almost fully unaware of FT and variables for years. I’m not sure if there is an updated FT command list but there should be one in-game so you could easily copy/paste or just be reminded. FT is very useful, yet it seems like jundroo has been gatekeeping it.
@PlaneFlightX okay, I think I may be going for the impossible but it’s alright lol. I have just published my nearly finished “SU-52 Hammer” (the newest one) if you want to check it out. Thanks. Edit: I hope this doesn’t seem like advertising, I wanted OP to give feedback not for people to be steered away from this craft and towards mine, sorry.
You know you’re a tank nerd when you instantly recognize the combo, though I can’t tell if you went for the jadgtiger or Panther F tbh. Nice build! Paladin is a class SPH.
@AviationLover12345 ALL INFO TOTALLY ACCURATE : WIKI : XM803
XM803 at the U.S. Army Armor & Cavalry Collection. Note the two return rollers, versus three on the MBT-70.
Work began on converting the existing MBT-70 design into a low-cost "austere" alternative that would use only American-made components, resulting in the visually similar XM803 prototype. Congress hoped to drive down the per-unit cost to $500,000–$600,000, saving $200,000 per tank versus the MBT-70.[30]
The largest cost savings came from a switch to a less expensive steel armor plating. An American-made engine also reduced costs. The design was slightly heavier and slower.[33] General Motors received a $16.5 million contract to develop the tank in July 1971.[34] Systems were simplified or eliminated altogether to save costs.[35] The XM150E5 gun-launcher was replaced with an XM150E6, which included a closed breech scavenging system.[36] A 24-round General Motors autoloader was installed. Ammunition capacity was increased to 50 rounds.[37] The commander's 20 mm cannon was replaced by a .50 caliber M85 machine gun.[38] The driver's escape hatch was deleted and his television, as well as those of all the other crew, were eliminated.[39] The Continental AVCR-1100-3B engine was derated to 1,250 horsepower (930 kW) at 2600 rpm and paired to a General Motors XHM-1500-2B transmission.[40] A simplified National Water Lift hydropneumatic suspension was installed. Side skirts were installed, which allowed some armor to be removed from the hull.[41] Meanwhile, the U.S. Army studied installing a gas-turbine AGT-1500 generating 1,500 horsepower (1,100 kW) (this was the engine that would come to power the M1 Abrams).[42]
Only one of the two pilot vehicles authorized for construction was completed.[43] In addition, a surrogate vehicle based on the components of MBT-70 pilot #4,[failed verification] the M60 and the M88 armored recovery vehicle, was constructed.[44]
These changes were ultimately insufficient to allay concerns about the tank's cost.[43] In September 1971, an amendment by Senator Thomas Eagleton was defeated that would cut $35.3 million in funding for XM803 prototype production.[45][46] but in December 1971, Congress canceled the tank in the defense appropriation bill.[47] The bill appropriated $20 million for cancelation costs and $20 million for the development of a new tank program.[48] This became the XM1 design project, which led to the production-model M1 Abrams tank.
@PlaneFlightX But do the starters need to be on for the engine to be running in your message? Kind of like having the engines activation group be “Starters & BATTERY>"?"”, because irl the starters only drain power at the startup, as they are only used then. it would realistically be like “Battery>"?" & "StartersHaveRan"” Maybe I’m just missing something ☠️
@XM803ENJOYER46 here’s the Battery level variable "clamp(sum((apu)+(engine)-(system*1.4)),0,800" where the battery level is clamped at 800, and "engine" is the throttle times 70 but only when engines are on, and system is all things electronic that would drain battery. Hope I’m not wasting your time man, thanks.
@PlaneFlightX I have a APU system that allows what you mentioned, that was the biggest challenge lol. What I’m really stuck on is having the starters drain power whilst starting the engines and then not draining power once the engines are started. As of now, the starters are essential for the engines to be running as I use the method stated in your variables video (stuff like "Switch7*Switch9 & Battery>300 ect." How could I make it to where they only need to be running and draining battery when the engines are starting. -hope this makes sense lol I’m pretty new to FT
@PlaneFlightX hey man, I really wanna thank you for your variables video and this SWL-10, as it has expanded my knowledge of Funk immensely. Any tips for creating realistic startups? I am attempting a realistic APU on my SU-52 Hammer but do not know how to make the starters not be necessary to have the engines running. Nice build too bro my mobile device is gonna explode…
@XM803ENJOYER46 just reread ur comment, yeah it can IMMOBILIZE (almost) any tank, unless the tracks are Maus size or the engine is comedically armored
@Arthuur if it hits the turret cheeks, no way. The roof, engine compartment, and maaaaybe the rear of da turret

@XM803ENJOYER46 new post is up
@BOSSentinel yeah I’m doing that now thx
+1Omg I just realized I can flip the part by making the scale “-1,-1,-1” so yeah I will be doing that
Like the rear landing gear part?
Wdym? @BOSSentinel
+1@Graingy where is the tutorial? Is it in game, bc I must be blind. I’ve seen the posts of most ft but as you and I said, it lacks examples.
@BOSSentinel nothing that I could tell, but I feel it is lacking some sort of charm and I can’t figure it out. Thanks for your time!
@ChaseRacliot how do you do the text like that? I know you can do stars, but can’t figure that out
