because of the shells weight and size it would need 100+ crew
Ever heard of machines to load shells?
If people who make tanks would bother to learn how, and take the time to make their treads non-static objects, then using tanks would be a bit more interesting in BL. Sadly, the T-90 is about the only one to do this, in my memory.
The problem with tank sizes in BL is due to the way BL functions. Tank treads, in 99.9% of cases are completely static, solid objects. Meaning, the bigger they are, the more and more difficult it is to navigate terrain. In real life, this isn't as much of a problem since treads can flex, bend, and move around objects. So using this tank would basically mean you could only have a perfectly flat map, which is really stupid. A tank battle with a flat map is about as exciting as plain bread for a sandwich.

I looked at the T90's code. It doesn't seem to have any differences in the treads than all other tanks, meaning a giant tank using the T90's suspension would still have to have static treads. There isn't anything like non-static treads in BL. What talking you? The only difference I could find was that it has two extra wheels, but I tried that on the Maus and it still couldn't cross bumpy terrain.

I think he's referring to

which as far as i know that's just visual

Yes it is
A tricksy trick

though whatever gravity did for his tank's tracks it works really well cause you can climb up vertical ridges pretty easily

Ever heard of machines to load shells?

Im refuring to how hard it was to reload the Gustav railway gun im pretty sure if the germans made  the P.1500 it would have a auto loader if they could make it

Is there a way to make non-static tracks that isn't just a visual effect?
If someone can make the most realistic tank ever for Blockland, I will give you all of my love forever.

I want a tank that:

1: Has a turret that moves slowly, like real tank turrets. (I know that can go a decent speed, but it should be capped, you shouldn't be able to do a 360 degree turn in one second)
2: Has treads that can bend and flex around objects so bumpy terrain is easy to navigate
3: Has a low center of gravity and is less prone to the unrealistic constant "turtling" of tanks.
4: Has realistic sound effects for driving at different speeds, on different terrain (Based on color of terrain?), realistic tank fire and reload sounds, realistic sounds for stopping, turning, turret movement, etc.
5: Has realistic interior and hud (I don't expect perfection, but at least the basic HUD on the gunner's position would be nice)

Realistic armor is perhaps entirely impossible. It's just the way torque works. Real tanks don't have "Health". A shell can bounce off, penetrate, explode on contact, or otherwise. Having a tank with segmented parts that can be damaged individually is completely impossible, i'm sure. (IE: Tank treads get shot, right tread no longer works)

I know this is asking more than anyone has ever done, but that's perhaps why I'm challenging someone out there to do this. I'll post a similar message of this onto the forums to see if anyone is interested.


What i want the most out of this is the turret traverse speed then the sound effects. That would be very nice to have, along with the low center of gravity

Okay, a tank mod, this should be decen-
IS THAT A PANZER
DOWNLOADING NOW SO I CAN RE-INACT GIRLS UND PANZER

The Monster has a 800MM gun tall as about 3 T-34-85's and enough power to destroy a miltary camp in 3-4 shots but that would take about half the day to even do because of the shells weight and size it would need 100+ crew

I doubt that 100+ crew part just to load something.

The whole tank not just to load it

YES EXAMS ARE OVER CAN MAKE TANKS AGAIN

Soon.

Soon.
If that is real I will love you forever. Until you cheat on me.

Is real. Will be soon.
How about a brick tank?
Maybe.

Also, made Maus able to go over ramps and increased its speed.  I now know how to make large tanks.
