[Weapon DLC] 88mm Flak 37 Sfl. UPDATED

Description
* SKIP all section if you don't fell like reading my awful effort to be funny and read FEATURE and IMPORTANT section*
UPDATED:
fixed gearbox
add force low gear feature
new recoil piston

The Flak 37 Sfl or its full very "Germanly" name: 8.8cm Flak 37 Selbstfahrlafette auf 18 ton Zugkraftwagen is basically an 88mm 37 Flak gun mounted onto an up-armoured Sd.fkz 8 artillery tractor. Now available in Stormworks for the release of the Search and Destroy DLC. This 18 ton of fun is either easy prey or easy "back to the hangar" for many War Thunder players.

FEATURES:
-Full automatic gearbox, clutch and brake: only WASD for complete, simplified control. 4 speed automatic: max 35 kph forward and 10 reverse.
-Neutral steering for those moments when you need to turn on the spot
-360-degree free traverse turret
-Dual turret control with both commander or gunner
-Auto shell eject and recoil
-Front winch and rear tow connector if you want to tow an extra cannon. Double the gun, double the fun, yes?
-Force low gear for rougher terrain/ towing if the automatic gearbox cant handle

The Flak bus has 3 main seats: the driver, the commander and the gunner
The driver can only drive, the gunner can turn and fire the cannon while sitting in the driver seat grants you the ability to fully control the vehicle with WASD for movement and look XY for the turret.
It must be noted that the commander turret control is purely for run and gun only, for a precise shot, use the gunner seat for better scope and precision control with WASD.

FORCED LOW GEAR:
select if you want to force low gear for occasions when the automatic gearbox cant handle, i.e jumping between gears too much. Use for towing or traverse over steep, rough terrain.

-Engage force low gear feature
-Select the desired gear with arrow
-the display show the selected gear and the gearbox will not jump to any gear higher than the selected gear.


IMPORTANT:

STARTING PROCEDURES: Climb into the cabin by holding the handle from inside and flip the main breaker in the middle. Then just simply turn the key to start. The breaker must be turned on if you want to use the turret, turn it off when park as to not loose electricity.

GUNNER: The designated gun sight turn on when you use the gunner handle. Please lower the side panel first for the gun to freely traverse Press open breech to load a shot, the spent casing will be automatically ejected after firing. Use hotkeys 2 and 3 to either toggle the traverse speed and zoom to fire more accurately. The ammunition is stored in the rear of the truck

COMMANDER: while in this seat you can use WASD to control the vehicle movement and look to traverse the gun. The commander has no zoom or designated gun sight. Playing in the commander seat like you play WoT :v

FUEL: refuel via hose connector on the left side, marked green.

Cool, thanks!

@iceberg7330 Yes, I have confirm the fault. It was caused by the throttle control not engaged when turning with just A,D when on the move, causing the engine to stall and caught in a loop of restarting while the clucth is still engaged. I have come up with a solution and will update the design ASAP.

@Kacix68 Glad you love it. Unfortunately I can't make the sIG 15cm yet as there are no suitable gun. Meanwhile, I haven't been able to come up with a stand alone design just yet. However, may I peak your interest in the Chi Ha Long Gun if you like big guns :https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2777031907

The engine, after a certain time, for some reason, shuts off, refuses to start, and the wheels seem to be stuck on the brake. It also creeps forward, no matter if its in drive or reverse. I put in my W6 engine (modular) hooked it up to the transmission, and it worked fine. Great vehicle, looks great, keep up the good work!

can you try to make 15cm sIG 33 B Sfl next?
Kacix68 20 Jan, 2022 @ 3:59am 
Perfect!
