The Armoured Ram Car with Cannons

*******************************************************************************************************************
Description:

Since lately great and powerful ramming technology was developed by Peaceman, it is time to give it some practical use on tracks. Were you ever fed up with your tracks being constantly blocked by your enemies? Maybe someone built a castle over your planned railroad? Fear no more as X-RAI brings you the newest armored ram cars. When properly weighted, they will punch a train sized hole in everything on your way (except voxels of course). Premium versions come equipped with six machine guns or twin bombards for even more destruction!

*******************************************************************************************************************
Setup instructions:

Just place on a straight piece of track and it's ready to go! Keep in mind that blocks below track can be slightly damaged due to the ramming effect when the car falls down.

*******************************************************************************************************************
Operating hints:

- There is a hidden coupler at the back, accessible from the inside. It is made to work flawlessly on the front of the Panzer-Minotaur, but it should work with any locomotive.
- The cannons can be reloaded and shot while the train is moving though speeds over 30 km/h are dangerous and can result in the character getting wedged inside something = bad clang.
- A QuickLoad(tm) system is implemented (inspired by Mike_Angels ship cannons) which allows the cannons to be swung back. Placing the projectile above the trough will make it roll directly into the barrel (see video for the whole process)
- When ramming, mass is much more important than speed. Remember to weight your ram down quite a lot and proceed with rather medium speed (40-50 km/h) to ensure no damage to the train in the seldom case the ram does not go entirely through something.
- The doors can be closed by pulling on them and tieing them shut by rope. It is not advised to drive with the doors not locked.
