do you have any idea how hard it is to weld stalinium?
you need at LEAST 6000 degrees celcius to just barely start welding it,
of course they have to bolt it.

The BT-7 was designed in 1937 when connecting larger parts with screws and rivets on tanks was quite common. It accelerated, simplified and reduced the cost of production. It also placed less demands on the workers. The vehicles were also easier to repair. The disadvantage of this design is that the hulls and towers were then less resistant to the impact of the joint of the two parts. For example, the Czech tanks Lt-35 (1935) and Lt-38 (1938) or the Japanese Type-97 (1936) were riveted completely.

It didn't upset me at all when playing. All you have to do is set the camera so that all the screws are in one line and ideally overlap, right-click on the random screw as if I wanted to screw it in, at the moment when the screw is screwed in still hold the right button and move the cursor over the other screws. As a result, the game thinks that you are still screwing in one screw and automatically screwing in more and more screws.

I like the tanks that have more bolts, it's more interesting than just clicking on something and it magically disappears.
