Description
No mods. Two-for-one deal, just delete the red connecting blocks and you will have two slightly different Chimera variants which you can save separately.


Description:

-Modeled after the Imperial Guard Chimera from Warhammer 40k, this vehicle is meant for light fire support and infantry transportation. The tank moves using an imitation track system with wheels underneath. It also has a headlight mounted on the turret for night operations.

-It has a large rear door which can be opened using a button under the right track. You have to crouch to get through the gap. Inside the passenger compartment there are six seats and another button to close the door. It is also possible to access the driver's cockpit from that area.

-The rear guns are non-functional and simply there to look like the model.


The differences bewteen the two tanks are:
-One uses a standard gatling turret
-One uses an RC rocket launcher turret and has "fuel tanks" (grinded tires) on the back.



Basic Vehicle Control Tips:

- No suspension, just rotors. You will have to steer using buttons 1-4. It takes a second to get used to, but the system works well. Also, you will hear banging from the rotors if you are going max speed, this does no damage to the vehicle.
- There is a gyro in the hull so you can wiggle your mouse to free yourself if stuck
- Gyro can be used for minor steering if on softer ground
- Hidden forward thrusters in tracks can help you climb steeper hills or go faster in general. Just press W



Known Problems:
- Hard to turn on slopes (using gyro helps)
- Rocket launcher turret cannot move vertically



Comments are welcome. Enjoy!

Thank you good sir!

Yep.

I sure didn't! Is that the color copy shortcut?

I know what shift P is. :P

Easy Fix, looks good. Color code for the tracks is 0, -85, -47
Emrule 31 Aug, 2016 @ 11:01am 
Yeah, that'd do it.

@Tablechair
I see your point. Now looking back at it, what I would try is painting the next row of blocks black as well (the one closer to the center of the tank) but leave the outside colored still.

Small criticism : The tracks aren't wide enough, the decorative black paint to represent the tracks looks really silly and you should probably widen it to at least 2 blocks.
