I have to say that looking at this vehicle again now after a length of time since I last saw it is actually helping to give me some ideas of my own for a few tank shapes, although it will be some time before that since I want to make more use of turret block models and would need a few custom designs for that. Eventually my goal would be to have each vehicle virtually rotor-free for survival.

I seriously do like the overall tank design here, you did a great job on it. Not too crazy about the LCD count across the hull personally, but I understand the reasoning for them and they do accent the hull quite well.

Very nice Tank! I have 2 problems however: First, the tank causes massive frame drops when you attempt to drive (probably because of the displays). And Second, i only can shoot once. It wont reload?

@Bruce LeedleLeedleLeedleLee I'm looking forward to seeing it
Bruce LeedleLeedleLeedleLee 27 Jul, 2019 @ 1:33am 
Ive reverse engineered your gun, built it smaller, added alternate fire (four decoys) and it can be pasted from one solid block with some blocks being removed for getting it ready. this design works really well and is better suited for small grids than rotor stacks well done again

@kaboominess Take care to protect the gun, use it to its advantage, and it is a sensible choice to use it beyond the firing range of the enemy
kaboominess 25 Jul, 2019 @ 11:57am 
looks cool, drives well, hits hard
its weakness however, interestingly enough, is its weapon
if the end of the barrel is taken off, the next time the weapon is fired, the entire weapon system will eject
and the tank will self-destruct shortly after

this tank is a lot of fun to use, but if you want to attack something, make sure the barrel is intact.

does it drive because it wont for me
Locomotor79 22 Jul, 2019 @ 6:52am 
true
YINKY  [author] 22 Jul, 2019 @ 6:51am 
@Locomotor79 Thank you for your comments. Due to the lack of space, I did not use the track, and I think the "track" in SE will seriously affect the mobility, but I may add it in my future works.

I really hope keensoftware house can add the ability to display camera images in real time to the LCD in the game, and then the chameleon will be worthy of the name
Locomotor79 22 Jul, 2019 @ 6:17am 
whell yinky it looks good however there arent any working track's/treads for tank yet and so many wheels is shame but the look off the artilery tank looks goot you even have the extra protection plates on it whit explosive defense. the only 2 minus points are the all those wheels but even the tracked vehicles have metal wheels whit tracks around but there arent really tracks for this game.
and i also think this is a multi-grided vehicle and the game wil have problems loading it
but that's keensoftware house problem they still didnt fix that bleuprint thingy and whe have to think about lord clang. problem's
but i really like the look off it + if you bought the new dlc you maybe even could give it a camo look

@Bruce LeedleLeedleLeedleLee Yes,you can use this tech .Thank you for your support!
Bruce LeedleLeedleLeedleLee 22 Jul, 2019 @ 5:05am 
I like this gun, i hope i can use this tech to make a gun that can be printed from a projector without much hassle. Great potential!
YINKY  [author] 22 Jul, 2019 @ 3:08am 
@JackZeng Hope you have a good time. I am trying to develop a new weapon. I believe it will be more powerful than the piston gun
JackZeng 22 Jul, 2019 @ 2:10am 
@YINKY yeah, I did that and learned how it works. This is a genius way to use piston. love it.
YINKY  [author] 22 Jul, 2019 @ 12:55am 
@JackZeng You can try to turn it down

YINKY  [author] 21 Jul, 2019 @ 7:21pm 
@Locomotor79 Thank you for your comments! Unfortunately, it doesn't transform like megatron, and maybe my work can do that in the future
YINKY  [author] 21 Jul, 2019 @ 7:17pm 
@Nr.9 Karl von Habsburg I wrote this website in the description section above
Locomotor79 21 Jul, 2019 @ 11:45am 
lol look like megatron lol

I have no idea how to get the Tank Skid Steering System Script can anyone help?

@SwatDoge Thank you for your support.

@Kaleyn Thank you!
YINKY  [author] 21 Jul, 2019 @ 9:43am 
@McTec Ind Thank you!
YINKY  [author] 21 Jul, 2019 @ 9:43am 
@Killy Yes,and you can manually control their color
YINKY  [author] 21 Jul, 2019 @ 9:37am 
@Toshikato Because of its many moving parts, this work has a limited role in survival
It is suggested that you study the principle of its gun and then try to redesign a gun
YINKY  [author] 21 Jul, 2019 @ 9:28am 
@CatCraftYT Because of its many moving parts, this piece has a limited role in survival, so I don't recommend using it in survival
YINKY  [author] 21 Jul, 2019 @ 9:28am 
@Daanydoomboy Thank you very much. I'll keep making better weapons :D
YINKY  [author] 21 Jul, 2019 @ 9:28am 
@Gashisholamandra Press "A" or "D" on the keyboard while moving forward
YINKY  [author] 21 Jul, 2019 @ 9:28am 
@andrewkpratt Enter it from under the gun, where there are two arrow symbols
YINKY  [author] 21 Jul, 2019 @ 9:28am 
@Big Man Red Thank you!
catcraft 21 Jul, 2019 @ 3:36am 
It seems this thing can't actually drive in survival... am I missing something?
Daanydoomboy 20 Jul, 2019 @ 2:41pm 
Let's be real: this has one awesome cannon but limited firepower (mainly range is limited).

BUT
This is by far the best looking thing I have ever seen in SE. The estethics are amazing! You cannot give enough credit tot his guy. +1 (000 000)
Raccoon 20 Jul, 2019 @ 2:36pm 
How do i turn right or left
PGI Xx HunterxX 20 Jul, 2019 @ 1:46pm 
time to reverse engineer this like a chinese man and apply this piston weapon onto my own stuff ;)
⎝⧹Greedynuf⧸⎠ 20 Jul, 2019 @ 10:55am 
How does one enter this beast?
CTH2004 20 Jul, 2019 @ 9:17am 
@YINKY

Thanks!
The Red Moustache 20 Jul, 2019 @ 1:23am 
its really good and the design is on point however all the text panels and lcd's i can only imagine what it could look like if the power was lost e.g. in combat etc etc. other than that keep up what youre doing :D
Rekalty 19 Jul, 2019 @ 9:50pm 
It sounds great, but what's with all the random screenshots of just grassy/desert areas? I would like to see what the vehicle actually looks like
YINKY  [author] 19 Jul, 2019 @ 8:41pm 
@ InvolvedSpark
1. Manually change the background color of block group "LCD-1"

2. Stronger structures
(probably psychological)

@CTH2004
“May I use your bluprint-guide system in my builds?” --Yes

“also, how does the gun work, and can the script get published?”
--You can try to break it down or see how it works
The principle is actually quite simple

That "english" writing at the start about discolord cracked me up so much
id~ 19 Jul, 2019 @ 4:43pm 
Its always nice to find something that is new in the workshop. I look forward to seeing more of your later builds. :p2cube:
CTH2004 19 Jul, 2019 @ 3:07pm 
also, how does the gun work, and can the script get published?

Toshikato 19 Jul, 2019 @ 12:50pm 
Looks awesome, but doesnt seem to work well in survival, followed the instructions but well "BOOM" doesnt even begin to describe it
Sparks2271 19 Jul, 2019 @ 12:46pm 
is that LCD's on the outsides
McTec Ind. 19 Jul, 2019 @ 12:37pm 
impressive.
