Pantera V1 Tank

Description
I have been working on this heavy armored tank a couple of days but i still don't find the middle ground in terms of wheels settings. If i make it fast it flips over and its hard to manouver. If i make it stable it doesn't climb slopes and its super slow.
So im uploading it to see if anyone can tinker with the configs to make it work better.

One of the things that i noticed was that vanilla wheels have a short suspension so the tank gets stuck everywhere. To solve that i installed the off road wheel mod. (if you think vanilla wheels work better go ahead and make the try with them).

Some specs:

1 Main Pilot seat and 2 turret control seats
1 8.8cm HECK cannon
1 auto cannon
1 scatter cannon (operable by the pilot)
full mouse driven turret (with two 2x2 rotors for the cannon hinge for better stability)
10 wheels
16 mass blocks
1 big reactor
86k Kg mass
2 cameras (one for aiming with the turret and other one for better visibility of the piolot)

Mods list in the last screenshot (not need for manual settings. This is a world save)

I hope someone will find a good set of configurations to make it work properly. I'll anctiously wait for your feedback!

Color the tank green, change the cannon head to rounded head, mount the Torpedo parts Mod, color the tip white and load the homing script... You get BUK missile tank!

Ow, it really work, thanks.

Using merge blocks. First you set the rotors to a negative displacement and then you make the merge blocks to match moving the piston heads in different directions.

How you attached gun on 2 rotors?

Because when i work with rotors i disable it by default. In case that something goes terribly wrong. But you can activate it pretty easily.
