Description
The Armadillo was designed to be a mobile fortress able to defend an area for decent periods of time. It can store a multitude of combat vehicles in its decently sized garage for additional protection and deployment. Its main guns can deal heavy damage to other large craft remarkably well. Also armed with multiple quad 35mm mounts to deal with smaller targets. If an aircraft manages to get in range, the twin 30mm gatling AA turret can make quick work if it.

Please like, comment, and subscribe, really helps me out! thanks!

Armament:
2x Twin 203mm Turrets
4x Quad 35mm Turrets
1x 30mm Gatling AA Turret

Utilizes custom built suspensions using wheel suspension blocks to simulate torsion bars
Has a lift for vehicle access to the garage


Vehicles used in Thumbnail:
TAF-03 Ronin Light Support Gunship
Humvee with GPK Turret
TWA-04 Hussar Main Battle Tank


NOTES:
Ideally, voxel damage should be turned off. It can still go with it turned on, but reckless driving can make spontaneous potholes if you're not careful.
Weapons are not balanced toward vanilla use, it will not deal well against vanilla weaponry.
best combat use is pitting it against similarly armed opponents (AWG guns)

What would be the best way to go about manually building this in survival? I want to use it on a server but I'm not sure how I'd be able to because of the multigrid design

@const how did you get the wheels to work? im trying to recreate that system and failing miserebly

i thought the wheels could only be controlled on the same grid.

@const yeah using this in survival, lmao.

no worries, that deck on the aircraft carrier will be the perfect landing spot for my planes. >:)

survival?
slap a piston or two on the underside, and a landing gear on it, lift, then replace as necessary i guess
creative?
bring that thing to space


as for arrestors, yeah, i've experimented with hinge cables, landing gears, connectors, and other horrid devices. I may just have it be a VSTOL carrier
