'Arx' Heavy Battletank | Working Tracks! (Vanilla)

In 1 collection by Bruce LeedleLeedleLeedleLee
The official IE collection (Vanilla)
47 items
Description
This is a tank that's obviously heavily inspired by WWI British landships, thus the side mounted turrets, which are very good for clearing out infantry, spiders or light vehicles.

It has a good suspension and is able to climb rough terrain (as shown in the video).

It's also conveyor fed, meaning that it's technically survival ready. (although i would not recommend that)

It's usable with damage on and does not clang much, but beware of a few things:
Dont go over 10 m/s (e.g when the tank goes downhill) else the track tension may go too high and break.
Press 9 after spawning the tank in, that releases the tracks from the main grid, allowing them to turn.
3 don't drink and drive. (ramming trees is a 50/50 of either the tree or the tank breaking)
In case the tracks jam, reverse them, and they should be free again

As always amazing work!
Would it be ok if i pretty much copied the track design?
They just seem to work well and any idea i had wouldnt work as well?
cheers

Thanks for replying so quickly.I think it probably was because of the attachment rotors for the tracks.But that is a fairly obvious thing to do since the tracks are basically subgrids themselves and wouldn't really spawn on the tank otherwise.

your tracks look very different to me. No problem there, nice track btw. new approach with the rotors all facing the same direction

ha finaly found you (I think)...interesting user name and nice tank by the way.^^ Sorry to bother you but I've been informed that I maybe have copied one of your tank track designs unknowingly or so I think? Well the thing is I've made a "Leman Russ Battletank" and one of the kind people in the chat pointed out that "it looks similar to leedle's track design" (I think he meant you). So if that is the case I will of course remove the tank from the workshop or mention you as the originator of the design (but to be fair have a look yourself since you made a lot of things and I don't know which tank they mean).Therefor depending on your decision I will either credit you or remove it as promised.Sorry for bothering you.I hope my english isn't to shoddy.^^

gotta love it when devs attempt pronouncing usernames as to not plagiarise
