[GDI] MBT-Predator

Description
[GDI] MBT-Predator

The MBT-Predator is designed to operate exclusively in planetary gravity and atmospheric conditions.


Referenced from the GDI military library

After the Second Tiberium War, GDI retired most of its walkers, such as the Titan Mk. I, due to cost and reliability issues. They were replaced by more conventional vehicles, which were durable, reliable, and maintainable. One such vehicle was the Predator tank.

How do I turn the tank?

@FHN - As promised here's the current progress so far on a survival Predator attempt. The chassis is pretty much finished, but still figuring out how to align the turret. Reinforcing the front tracks though still needs a bit further thought.

Any tips/advice for setting up a good surrounding theme like this? While I'm used to building small grid vehicles and such, I struggle with the presentation side of things, lol.

I'll be waiting

Understood, and it definitely came out very well too, which is why I was inspired to actually try one for survival use. I'm currently still in the process of figuring out the Hunter tank unit myself, so I will want to finish that first before I make a Predator attempt. I decided to try that one a little different from its C&C4 counterpart by turning it into a personnel transport though. Maybe I'll post the Orca effort as well when I get the tank figured out :)

@Cmdr. DoomForge™ Well look, despite the fact that the tank I built from light armor, it is not that very light. if you throw out the blocks of artificial mass and strengthen the main projections, then yes it will become "stronger". and yet the reserve of traction it is not very high because of the small number of wheels. I understand that all this is solvable, but I was primarily interested in working with the form and most importantly with the mod on the tracks )
If you can build what you're talking about, be sure to post it in the comments, I'd love to see what comes out ;3

@PenPen Thank you . despite the fact that I spent about 6 hours on it (for me it is not enough, many other grids I build for 10-15 hours), I tried and resorted to some unusual designs and techniques .

The more I think about it, the more I feel like challenging myself to make my own, lol. I know its possible to have a combat viable build that is also survival-friendly, though might take the liberty of adding an anti-personnel turret as an upgrade.

Best replica of a C&C unit I've seen so far in this game without using 1 gorbillion mods
