[MLRS] SAMSON (Broken suspension)

Description
SAMSON (Object 818-003) is a project-an experiment of the tank without rotors with weapons MLRS (5 missile launchers).
There is a version to build in survival SAMSON S.

Targeting is carried out only by active suspension! Previously, there were prototypes simulating such gameplay, but only after the summer update it became possible to create this system with the proper level of convenience and quality. The rotor-less tank has its own characteristics of combat tactics, pros and cons, so you have to get used to and experiment. Your opinion is especially important there, so I would like to know for further development of this project.
In view of the ease of construction will probably be the version created for survival, which will be able to build each using only a projector and welder. If necessary, auto-targeting will be added.

Armament
5 rocket launchers hidden deep in the center of the machine so as not to lose weapons in a retaliatory attack against you. The launch of missiles is carried out consistently with a small delay, for the greatest efficiency.

Driving characteristics:
Suspension is the most important and interesting. To control using 2 modes: aiming and march. Switch between modes by pressing 3 on the first page of the control.
- In aiming mode, the machine go in the direction you set through the mouse. The angles of vertical tilt ~10°. In the horizontal plane you are not limited.
This mode is only available at speeds less than 10 m/s to maintain the safety of the machine, so if you exceed this threshold, the suspension will automatically enter the march mode.
- In march mode, the suspension goes into a more stable state, which allows you to move quickly if necessary. However, at a high speed when braking is tipping forward (this is all Keens), so I recommend to be careful or use a move backwards for braking.

Control tips written on the right and left side of the cab
The ground clearance is very low, so if you need to drive through very rough terrain, go to the march mode and manually set the maximum height for the suspension via the control panel.

My best buildings:
Main battle tank BESOGON;
Anti-air weapon system SHILO;
Combat version of buggy KONTUR.
Also have programm for paint camouflage, but it`s not so good.

Help me to develop: write comments, tips, information about bugs.

Battleguy for me, creating such a program is a very simple thing. Because I'm RUSSIAN HACKER and I had hack this game!... (apparently very fashionable to say about it now))) just join us)

im working on making a tank called the ST-65 (ST for standard tank, with the designation: 65), its still in its early prototype phase, and it has many predecesors, over 30 models and individual tanks, but what im still trying to figure out, is the suspention controls, i rlly want the ST-65 to have the suspention controls... I got the tank to its best in terms of looks, armour, and i also added a 120 mm, but im still working on the suspention system...

i know this is possible but HOW? :)

JeI you just need save it like blueprint or learn how to do supergrid. And you can find this block in WS

hmmm... its very strange

Yeah, what I'm referring to is after a while, it will start to oscillate left and right uncontrollably when in gunnery mode, which is usually fixed by recompiling the Main PB. Also, after a longer time, the entire vehicle will seize up and not move at all, but I'm assuming that's a Keen issue, as the only fix I can find is to destroy and rebuild the vehicle.

Gassing forward helps when turning

Awesome, thanks! I'm loving it so far, though it seems to have problems turning after running for a while. Usually resetting the Main PB fixes it, but sometimes you gotta rebuild it completely. I could be just doing something wrong though.
