HVK Warden I Self Propelled Gun

[Only One Mod, Mouse Control, Skid Steering]

This is the newest addition to my line of tank builds, a one man controlled and self propelled artillery system, the Warden I.
It carries the awesome 155mm M777 Howitzer from aulus-jpn (link below) in a 360 degree traverse turret. The howitzer can be used for indirect fire support of allied forces, or in direct contact with opponents, however the vehicle is not designed to go one on one with MBTs and other direct combat focused vehicles.
The Warden I features a raisable secondary camera and spotlight turret on the main turret, for spotting, looking over cover and most of all look where fired shells land.
At the rear of the vehicle you can find extendable stabilizers and an entrance hatch to the interior of the turret. There you can reload the howitzer through an opening in the front, just behind the weapon, while the ammunition is stored in two medium cargo containers.


Huge thanks to Whiplash and MMaster for their incredible scripts, which allow us to build cool stuff!
Also thanks to Inky for his Tracks!

Unlock the turret with the 4th button in the first toolbar, release the handbrake with P and you´re ready to have fun. Don´t forget to change the ammunition type of the howitzer in it´s control menu to High Explosive!
You can access the cockpit, even without a functioning jetpack, by jumping onto the slopes on the sideskirts. This might not work on the first try, but it´s easy to remember how to to it right.
Have a look at the toolbar setup below!
To enter the turret through the rear hatch just walk towards the hatch and as soon as you notice that you just about stand on the ramp, crouch and enter.
To get into the reloading position, walk up the slope on the left side of the compartment in the rear, until you´re as high as possible. Then just jump up and you should be standing on the slope that´s been in front of you. Crouching let´s you move around a bit on the upper level.

That was one long description how to enter the turret of a tank. :D
