Dude, that’s a beautiful design, the two V12 and the enhanced motor is a really nice touch, but the amount of diesel tanks made me smile. 19.8 tons at 256km/h at safe speed, now that is impressive. I am always struggling with the idea of making mine larger, because there are such possibilities to add with the increased space, but so far, the mobility and maneuverability always takes priority for me. I used wheels so far each game, but concluded that going really fast after a certain point doesn’t affect the intended functionality and purpose of the vehicle, like I think going faster than 180km/h is not that useful due to the distances needed to be traveled and of the increased difficulty avoiding obstacles while driving at such speeds. Never have to worry about damaging my wheels. Many turrets are redundant, I sympathize with your opinion on that.
Your character really does seem to have an insane appetite for power. Where do you get those nice large storage batteries, how are they obtainable?
I decided to drop the two main tank turrets and the ammunition, the 30mm chain gun does exactly the same thing to enemies and walls with more easily available ammunition that weights significantly less, you shoot anything and it gets even pulped for you, and make nice holes in walls. The weight dropped from 25.4tons to 16.6, 8.8 ton difference, holy shit. Rolling drag dropped by 1/3, speed increased from 100 to 129km/h, energy consumption dropped by approximately 25%. I am definitely going to stick with this.
Considering that I have even driven through mine fields and haven’t lost a single tank tread, maybe I can use a bit less of them. Need to check on that.
