HVK Skyguard II AA Tank (desert camo)

Attention! View the "Important" section to see how to use the turret!

It is based on the new chasis of the Vanguard III MBT, whose prototype saw action in the march tank event held by the SETB group.

The Skyguard II features a lot of improvements and marks a new point in tank development for HVK Industries: 7 scripts have been incorporated to give the Skyguard II the advantage over the enemy. Most of the improvements play towards better reconnaisance and automatization.

Huge thanks to Whiplash and MMaster as well as jtdub85 for their incredible scripts, which allow us to build cool stuff!
Also thanks to Inky for his Tracks!

Please don´t just give a thumbs down without stating why you dislike this build. Thanks!


Mainly inspired by the german AA Tank Gepard 1.

Block count: 1178
Weight: ca. 120 tonnes
Top speed: 60 kph (limited), as according to the SETB event rules, can be increased of course

-Make sure to check out the control setup below to know what button does what! :)

Important
-Upon spawning the Skyguard II, the MART script and the AI Turret script are turned on. Simply turn off the AI Turret script if you want to aim the turret with your mouse input.
-If you want to let the AI Turret script do the work, turn off the MART script and turn on the designating Interior Turret.
The controls for the two scripts and the turret are in the Control Setup below.

-The Searching radar is locked by default, simply unlock it via the button in the second toolbar and start it.
-As this SPAAG has quite a lot of scripts, you can turn off those that aren´t essential for the tank, this leaves only the MART script and the Skid Steering script on, you can find the button in the Control Setup below.
