Vector AHT

Description
Vector AHT is a military glider tank. Installed sensors read the terrain and automatically align position of the vehicle. Well protected and mobile, this machine does not depend on the terrain as normal tanks, and has no problems with armor like other Hovers.
During sharp turns sometimes have to manually stabilize the unit (with Q & E)

In order to use turret, you should take it in control (6) and turn turret rotor brakes to 0.


Mods used:
Sektan flat asteroid
Azimuth mega modpack
Armored Thrusters
Legofreak's hoversensors (blueprint)
Hammerman smallship glass
Armor Ramps mod By UncleSte
Sage's industrial thruster
CSD Battlecanon
Armor without edges replacement

Thank you!
Hover sensors are MAGIC!

I like how the hover sensors fit between the blast door parts. Never thought of that.

Thank you very much!
Pull up problem is caused by turret, and the fact that things on top of the rotor is calculated like another ship.

Actually, a may put more thrusters with sensors, but they will be exposed to enemy fire, so I chose the other variant.

It may work near buildings, sensor field is a thin straight line that read the terrain below and corrects the altitude. Sensors are configured to react to asteroid, stations and big ships.

I used Legofreak's hoversensors (great work actually)

Also, I can recommend you to try my Moonlight hoover, which is easy and fun to pilot, there is no problem with pull up and so on. One thing - the main thruster may be too powerfull.

Really cool. It did tend to pull up when i moved forward, but it wasn't too big of a problem. I added artificial mass and it seemed to help, just 2, along the center, 1 in the front, 1 in the back. I think the downward (up facing) thrusters need to be more powerful. Ideally, both up and down would be powerful so the tank quickly stabalizes but there is only so much that can be fit. It seemed to handle a little better after i accidentally destroyed the turret piece too. It looks great. Great job on the front part especially. Great use of sensors. I'll probably try to make a hover vehicle after seeing this. I know it wouldn't work near buildings, but on flat ground, maybe side sensors connected to the down force thrusters on that side? That way when it starts to tip badly, it pushes down that side? In all, really cool, but not perfect. I'm getting excited thinking about how a hover vehicle could further improve.
