Awesome :D Thumb up and subscribed :)

It's not airtight

Kudos, again man. Gun Blade Heavy Assault went into battle with another Ironman competetor. Handled itself well, but he highlighted kind of an issue. He lost that rear ground ramp and had a bear of time getting back in the vehicle. I've used this vic alot now and never had that problem, so I tested it out. Even in medium armor on a slightly heavier G planet, it's hard getting back in that vehicle when it's at full hover. I may be missing something other way to get in but it'd help to have a "help me up" lower block of some kind at the rear should that ramp get smoked. Otherwise, love this thing. Also heard a rumor you man enter Ironman. I'd love to see that! Cheers!

That’s awesome lazersgm! The repair to blueprint is a life saver these days. Thanks!

Another great blueprin. love this thing its abeast. had half the top shot off and by a NPC CV and got knoced out of the cockpit. just junped in one of the others and flew it back for repiars. great job.

Converted to Combat Steel!

Hey Proximo303. All of my end level vessels will be updated yes. :)

Will you be updating when combat steel is available?

Okay removed those 2 Fuel Tanks and replaced with hardened steel blocks. Recook one and you should see it. Thanks again!

I think i know where you mean. I'll look into it thanks!

You Mean on the -Gun Blade-? can you take a picture? I friended you up

Found it. This vehicle: fuel cell sitting just behind a grate on both port/starboard. 2 hits near there takes it, the nearby thrusters, and a whole bunch of other stuff out when it goes. Big thing. No, unless multiple POIs are involved. Then you're taking hits from 2 sides (front and a side) always. Spin and slide to avoid still leaves it open to hits there on either side. Zirax rocket dude got me while avoiding the big hitting POI weapons. Time to drop a fridge... ;-)

Let me know if you take the EOD out. I wanna know how well it takes a POI for you

Lmao Chair-Force

@XCaliber Right on, and back at ya, brother. I'm painting all your vic's OD green henceforth, because, well -- Navy. :-D FYI, I just took out that POI cluster's turrets with my combat SV. Less expensive, way safer, very surgical -- and boring as hell. Kinda explains the AirForce. :-D I'm going to see what your tank does, refreshed, during "the mop-up loot".

Thanks drylokol! The turrets have always been the issue with making HVs truely affective. I try to give all my tanks enough side strafe to affectively 360 a POI and enough armor to take the hits, which is why I always go with rear cockpits. Also I appreciate your service. I’m ex Navy myself, hence the haze grey everything lol

Follow-up to my previous post: I love tank and it way out-performs it's material cost. If the vehicle turrent AI actually had a decent brain, this would be a go-to. Well done!

First, as a SciFi geek and US Army Armored Calvary Scout vet, I love this design! That rear entry layout with it's access (and arrows!) to the Pilot seats reminded me of the vehicles in the "Hammer's Slammers" books. It's nimble enough, with a good mix of weapon types, and it takes an outrageous ammount of damage (I limped a "stick man" back to my ship) and stays combat effective. Well done! But, here's the rub -- the turret AI is outrageously stupid and negates any Tank's ability to do what it's designed to do. I tried every turrent setting I could, turning all turrests off/on after each change, and there is no setting that makes any single "Tank" vehicle viable assaulting POI clusters with multiple ground troops all over the place. Every single weapon either 1) attacks the ground troops, ignoring the turrets; 2) doesn't attack either. I finally checked every box, kept it moving/spinning and firing, road it out until I was out of ammo then limped outa contact.

Okay cool, lemme know how it goes

ah ok thats fine ill resubscribe cause it looked super neat im not really steady on any servers so ill test it out on some pois in solo :D

I added the Clone Chamber and Med Bay which made it 8.0 :(

cause thatd make sense lolol

oh is it for expiremental 8.0?

lol are you still in Alpha 7?

idk why but when I click your bp ingame I auto crash lol... too godly for me I guess :(

Thanks Chris! Trees always screw me up when strafing lol

I enjoyed this heavy assault tank. Still need some driving lessons to straff better, but it make short work of a fortress and a defense tower.

Not offended at all. I’ll never reject someone’s ability to improve on any of my designs. It’s how we all learn. Thanks

XCaliber, I am already working on doing just that, having to rework the outside just slightly to be able to do it and keep the same look, if I dubb it successful, I will repost it here. Please, by all means, don't get offended, I do this all the time for my faction, they find a design they like and I do a rework to make it more PVPable, and never claim it as my own, by any means.

Thanks Munkster. Due to the block spacing it would be rewally hard to do that without doubling the height adding glass over a closed cockpit is generally not doable

if you could add armored glass over the cockpits, and still keep the look, I think it would handle much better in battle situation, otherwise, nice build

Not negitive.. I like it.. Anyways.. at the end of the day.. I like your Origonal stuff a lot !

I appreciate the continued dialogue as well. You could have just gave it a thumbs down. I wish everyone commented their feedback, even when its negative :)

Okay...Your opinion...cool. But like...hows it really like the Diablo Series? It has 3 closed cockpits, 1 Rear, totally differrent shaping of body. big rear artillery turret on far back of the tank giving it totally different profile. Are you referring to the legs?

Note that I'm not upset with your opinion at all. I Learned allot from Pyston throughout our many conversations. He's the guy that stopped me building stuff with wheels as he said its "cheesy as hell" lol. If you could put the Diablo Prime and the Gun Blade side by side and strip them and really look and you'll see their two totally different tanks

You used Pyston's Diablo tank ! Making your own "version" of his tank is not a "completely origonal from scratch" mate !

Anyways.... I still like your other stuff !

Right but you're still not explaining who and how I used someones build...

*builds

Not trying to insult.. I just think your origonal build are good... Don't need to use anyone elses !!

If you're refering to Pyston, I noted in the desription that He Inspired me to build the tank, after discussing his designing strategies for his Diablo Series. The -Gun Blade- is a completely original design built from scratch. :)

@Deadman I don't understand what you mean? What build have I used?

your origonals are good, why use other people builds ? Seems like a trend these days !

Thanks Steelslinga! Appreciate that

you have some really nice builds man , great work!

Thanks again! lol

Very nice. I love the texturing as well. Great job!
