Heavy Tank 2.0.0.5

Description
Here is a weldable version of this tank,
so you can build it in survival mode: Heavy Tank 2.0.0.5 (Weldable)
If you want the predecessor of this tank, here it is: Heavy Tank 1.0.0.4 (Finished)

How to turn it on?
Go to the second toolbar and press number 9. This timer block will ensure that everything in the tank is nominal either when you turn it on or off through it. I recommend to use this method every time that you want to turn the tank off or on. As you can see on the screenshot up there, the cockpit itself offers a context for most key numbers.


Characteristics:
1. Fully vanilla.
2. Fully heavy armored.
3. Fully powered by hydrogen.
4. Very easy to maneuver.
5. Repair projector in the main grid to facilitate quick repairs.
6. It has a pressurized cockpit, oxygen tank and O2/H2 generator.
7. Sophisticated timer block systems.
8. You can use this tank as a movable defensive turret, that is, you can put the tank in an area that you want to defend, and then you press 6 on the third toolbar, it will cause four blinking lights to be turned on as an indication that now the tank is defending this area with the AI Offensive detection range; every five seconds it will check for enemies in order to lock on, so the tank takes advantage of the assault cannon's full range. In this mode, the tank will disable unnecessary blocks in order to save as much fuel as possible while defending the area. To go back to normal, just press 6 again on the third toolbar.
9. If you go to the fourth toolbar and press 1, the tank will start firing flares upward every 3 seconds, it is very useful to illuminate a larger area, specially during storms. To disable it, press 1 again on the fourth toolbar.
10. This tank isn't made to be cool, even though it is cool, but to actually be useful in combat; easy and straightforward to be used.
11. The assault cannon can aim between -3 and 44 degrees by default, but you can decrease the lower limit down to -11, and for this reason I put this option on the fourth toolbar, there you can press 4 to decrease and 5 to increase the lower limt of the hinge. There is a programmable block called "Heavy Tank Hinge Limit Reset Program" that will reset both values back to default every time that you turn off/on the tank through the proper timer block (second toolbar key number 9). The same happens every time that you trigger 6 on the third toolbar.

About weapons:
1. Switchable assault cannon and gatling gun.
2. Autocannon Turret.
3. Can aim up to 44 degrees (still defendable from air attacks).
