Lore
The Hydra tank series was developed in early 2110, to replace the outdated Sleipnir series. It used state of the art hover technologies, first pioneered on tanks like the Viper and Python, but taking it much further by using a much larger and more versatile chassis.

While the former tanks excelled in hit and run tactics, the Phoenix Army believed that they would fair poorly in any prolonged engagement, especially in any urban warfare setting.

With heavier armour, superior stability, and a superior weapons compliment, the Hydra is prepared to take on any challenge. It can rush troops into the thick of battle while providing fire support with rockets and guns, or it can forego carrying capacity in favour of heavier arsenals.

In this role, it can take the AAA attachment, with 10 gatling guns to quickly shred apart enemy aircraft and even other enemy tanks of its size, cutting through them like they were made of paper. For larger targets, the rocket attachment will fire a swarm of explosive projectiles, blasting apart even the heaviest armour, and bringing larger vehicles to a halt, or bringing air ships crashing down into the battlefield below.

FLIGHT DYNAMICS

Friction can be increased (6) for quick braking, or to apply a parking brake. Friction should always be decreased (7) to 0 when in motion.

It is recommended you do not pilot the tank at max speed, or the machine spirits may get angry.

if you refer to the displacement settings resetting themselves every time you pasted, that was resolved about a week ago. other than that issue, they've been working well for a while now.

how did you get those blastdoor doors to work? Last time I checked small ship blastdoors couldn't worrk like that. Did they fix it?

Google is your friend, sir. I have never tried to do what you are asking.

How do I get started submitting my 3D CAD models from ViaCAD Pro into Steam Workshop for money/sales? btw, I like this ship.. even tho I sence a bit of Millienum Falcon n this design, lol, but still like it and find a lot unique things about it!

sideways wheels are set as frictionless, this allows them to be used as "bumpers" for hover vehicles. they dont grip so your ship is just gliding on ice all the time. they use thrusters to do the real propulsion work.
(i have learned to install at least one or two downward thrust engines still. helps with landings more, even if they can't push the vehicle int flight)

How do hover tanks work? And why does the ship (tank) have sideways wheels?
