'Keros' Strike Tank (Vanilla)

In 1 collection by Bruce LeedleLeedleLeedleLee
The official IE collection (Vanilla)

Description
This tank might not look like much, but it handles extremely well. That's thanks to 60 wheel suspensions set up together with an overriden gyroscope, so it can pull off some harsh maneuvers before tipping.
Its wheels are extremely redundant, and the mobility is probably the last thing to go thanks to the armor skirt.
It's armed with a rotor turret (in case it gets stuck, lock and unlock it by pressing toolbar:3 two times) and a gatling turret. The rotor turret is meant to cover the front half of the tank, thus the designation 'Strike Tank', as it's useful for ambushes. As you can see in the video it's also remarkably good at climbing.

Doesn't work. Upon spawning it flips like crazy.

This build look cool for sure, but I don't think it work as is with the current game version. Spawned one in my creative game and it started thrashing around right away (phantom forces)...

Dwarf-Lord Pangolin or Bruce LeedleLeedleLeedleLee, can you share how to do the face-to-face wheel set up please? Presumably double's the amount of available grip? Brilliant by the way!

How did you shove the wheels in eachother like that?

yay! ^^

you can use them if you want
McTec Ind. 18 Sep, 2017 @ 12:51pm 
also interesting to know.if you use locked wheels instead of handbrakes the tanks actually stay put and clang does not let the wheel/tracks explode by glitching apart when you move to far away from your tanks.don't know if this information is actually useful.^^

that's a cool idea! never thought of usng double sided suspension tracks...i did see opposite suspensions for cars but this is neat! can i use them too? please!? on a more serious note...awesome. XD

how do you make the tracks?
epflederer 7 Jun, 2017 @ 10:00am 
oh,the fun of handbrakes
