Description I needed something for the Ex's to go around in and trash things. Then I came across this nifty contruction Kit meant for Flying craft. So I found some wheels and jammed stuff together and well it doesn't look half bad.

Oooooo! Must fave this and watch you! It wouldn't stand a chance against and MBT or snub nosed artillary. The atillary would just flip it over. I remember back in the day people used a thing called graph paper for this.

I like it! My only suggestion on the design would be to make larger tires and put them outside of the vehicle instead of place them under armor like they are. Most wheeled armored vehicles don't have to worry about punctured tires cause the tires are almost as strong as the armor itself. The disadvantage to the current position of the wheels is that dirt and crap would accumulate very quickly and be difficult to clean out.

It's neat that the axles are so close together. That means it's much more maneuverable (and yet it looks like it'd be pretty stable on rough terrain).

I picture it as being more of an Armored Personnel Carrier or a fighting vehicle, since the main gun looks like it could punch out enemy tanks in a few strings of shots but the construction probably couldn't endure more than a hit or two from a determined tank crew.

Thank you jodimest
I've thought of different configs for it. I guess I've been a little lazy. It size may be deceiving. I stood a figure outside it and its pretty big.

Excellent work!
Had to fav this.
It does look like it might get hung up with the wheels so close to the base though. But in urban terrain with a lot of roads, it would probably do okay, and it looks fast.

Thank you SumDood and thanks for the faves. It probably would get hung up, but I do have the option to add more wheels maybe 2 more to the center and make it a 6 wheeler or some tank treads. that would probably make it more All terrain worthy.

Awesome design. Looks like it has all the bases covered with a good spread of weaponry.

Thank you Aeires I guess the only down fall would be the main gun, it would have limited swivel but with a fast vehicle that wouldn't be to much of a disadvantage. To think of it, its more like a land based PT boat.

I made a draft of a super-sonic tank. I'll scan the drafts and send them to you if you want.

It's dsign number was the Gempack Flank M4 [Arrow].

Before I owned a computer my life was full of graph paper and fancy vehicle Ideas -0o

heheh, Thats why it has to be fast these days, to make em hard to hit, because even the strongest armor will give in if you hit it hard enough.

well hope nobody minds if park a fighter on top of them. hmm shadow fighter would do the trick nicely but first i should fit it with weapons
