Henry Wallice's Leaping Tank ( aka. The Leaping Pillbox ) [Multicrew]

Description
"When Americans went too far" some had called it.

* [Crew]:
6 gunners, 1 driver

* Controls:
[Driver]:
(WASD) for movement
(X) for "pillbox mode" (just activates thrusters)
[Gunners]:
(Alt mode) for rotation and elivation (aiming)
(LMB) to engage fire

Pros:
* Circular design which make for equal armor all around (well not really), can witstand gunfire and HE shells
* 6 mounted turrets
* Interesting leg design for "leaping" instead of tracks

Cons:
* Good armor but not enough against AP shells at certan spots
* Turrets are limited by mobility and can at most use ⅔ of the firepower at one target
* Leaping leg design is kinda unstable and is bound to fall, terrain would pose a greater threat than the enemy
* Slow moving due to careful procedures, easy target for airstrikes

This build doesn't "leap" well, so parts are bound to break. Might as well just use it as a pillbox...

This American peice of engineering was supposed to fix problems of the armor of a tank where the rear would have less armor. But it seems like trying to fix one problem would lead to others being made.

Funfact: if this build does get published, it'd be the first one! Have fun!
