NVA T-72M1 Main Battle Tank

Please let me know what you'd like me to make next, or if you find any issues!
!! Driver hatch may not work at lower physics settings, but can be fixed by just closing and opening it.

T-72

Succeeding the advanced but complex T-64, Ural Factory designed their own tank as a bid to replace the expensive machine. The T-72 entered service in 1973, and saw many updates throughout the years. This model is the Kampfpanzer T-72M1, an export modification for the Deutsche Demokratische Republik, more commonly known as East Germany.

Driver Startup Process

Enter the drivers seat by entering from the front of the hull
Enable "Main Power" and flip the engine key switch
Hit "Space" to disable the parking brake

Gunner Startup Process

Enter the Gunners seat via the gunner's hatch on the left side of the turret
Enable "Unlock Turret Traverse"
Enable extra monitors as necessary
[!] Beware that if the stabilizers are on for more than 55 minutes, the hydraulics will overheat and they will shut off! [!]

Fire Control System

The centre chevron is where the round will land, with auxiliary ranging lines.
You can laze a target by pressing "1" which will automatically raise the gun to account for drop, after a short delay.
You can switch to using the Machine gun to flipping the "Main Gun/Coax" switch.
The commander can rotate the turret using the hunter-killer system, if the Traverse switch is on. The commander's sight does not have a stabilizer.

Arcade Mode

Just above the driver's seat in the turret ring is the arcade mode switch
This allows for the tank to be controlled purely by one person.
You will still need to enable the engine at the drivers seat but you can control the throttle, steering, and braking using the arrow keys and "6" on the gunner seat.
