The Waffle - Tank Destroyer

FULLY VANILLA - Top Speed: 164km/h Preferably run it on advanced physics. This is a large explosive canister tank destroyer designed for closer proximity battles against other tanks and a direct replacement for my at this point ancient "Pancake" MBT. Overview: The main idea behind this tank is to bring some of the more modern tech that we had for a very long time to my tanks, primarily blueprint editing, 0wb and an alternative to inherently flawed spudcannons. This is by no means a limit pusher like my some of my other builds btw. About The Tanks Strategy: This tanks primary purpose is ground to ground combat with it being able to take out other tanks, while eating a round or two without immedietly being disabled. These fights are ideally done in closer proximity while outmanouvering the opponent and its fast reload times shouldnt force you to run away when you shot its only large explosive canister and gives you an edge over most tanks needing more time with reloads. Controls: W/S - Forward/Reverse A/D - Turning 1/2 - Kneel Up/Down 3 - Fire Gun 4 - Spud Maschinegun 5 - Close Range Timefuse Toggle 6 - Aiming Lights 7 - Headlights + Floodlights Close Range Timefuse Toggle: Have the round explode infront of the tank for closer proximity blast damage 1: Press 5 (Yellow Light Should Turn On) 2: Hold 3 Until It Fires Lighting Overlay Description: Yellow Light - Close Range Timefuse Toggle Green Light - Gun Ready The Gun: The key piece of tech on this tank is its gun that uses controller bearing tension to power the canister, unlike most vanilla tanks you will find on the workshop that utilize spudguns. This does give a few bigger benefits, like not having the lag spike every time you fire (especially with large explosive cans) and being able to downfire by default. The design on this tank utilizes 2 flippers that transfer their power through collisions with the can being directly attached to the body before its detached. The Kneeling Feature: Instead of angling the gun on the body of the tank like what you will find on most designs, the whole body is moved on this one around a fixed axis near the wheels. This adds the benefits of saving significant space internally where it really matters, which can be filled with more armor and avoiding a lot more external gaps it would have had avoiding an easy kill by detonating the loaded round. Other Features: - using wonky bearings to make the tank effectively silent as it drives - 2 extra passenger seats that can be entered near the top hatches (aim on their edges) - top mounted spud machine gun with 3 glitchwelded spudguns that can be used to detonate rounds around your tank and for aiming - extra green lights on the front tuned to the second closest position of the canister infront of the tank to know when youll hit at closer ranges easier - blueprint edited headlights and floodlights with much higher brightness to have way more visibility Tags: stug, combat, military, weapon
