This is a multi-day project I undertook to make a tank that could complete every or at least nearly every obstacle course in the entire Phunbox. This PHUNLET contains a great all-terrain tank and a wide range of weapons and tools you can tack on depending on the mission.
TANK BODY:
Based initially off very early tanks for a simple shape that will overcome almost any obstacle, I made it very heavy and gave it unbreakable balloon suspension. Then I added a tail to reduce flipping and make the vehicle capable of self-righting when it does flip. The tail can also be used to manipulate the body for rock-climbing courses, although they are not this tank`s specialty. You can fold the tail into the body of the tank to better fit for size-limited courses, and it will flip right back upon sim start. It`s usually necessary to scale the tank up for most missions, and the folding ability lets you get that size edge. CONTROLS: A and D to drive, S to brake. Q and E control the tail. Z to mirror, but remember that you will have to set the mirror key for any equipment you want to mirror with it.
When equipping the tank, take note that it`s best to move the hull to front.
HULL OPTIONS
Jump unit: pretty straightforward, tack onto the bottom of the hull and press W to use. Each arm has two springs, so make sure all four springs are tacked onto the hull.
Offroading Belly: no controls, just tack this zero-friction surface onto the bottom and front of the tank to reduce the jarring affect of bottoming out the suspension without making the tank slide all over the place every time it flips over.
Stabilising Bar: for use with the crane arm to make it harder to tip your tank. Wheel is linked with drive wheels. Press 4 to drop it after you`re done.
WEAPONS
Cannon: this single-shot gun is pretty powerful and accurate. Tends to fail when attached with a hinge or to anything lighter than the hull, so the best way to aim is by manipulating the hull angle with the tail,... |
