My new design

It's called a BuildingDestroyerTank, only a few will be buildable in my mod. This thing packs a hell of a punch when Vs a Building type. Also able to gun down Infantry with multiple round bursts.

Building Destroyer tank? Like... and artillery? #Tongue

Yea I guess you could classify it as Artillery.

I updated it to include the belt and bullets for top mounted gun, also raise it so not so flat looking.

all I have to do now is force my lazy ass to make it game ready, not sure if to make this shp or vxl though.

Voxel, else it will not be able to tilt on slopes.

You seem to be drawing a lot of inspiration from WWII... Although this should then be a TANK destroyer, and weak versus infantry to boot.

I think it'd be better to just call it "Destroyer".

Although you do what you want. Wink

Just to clarify the classification discussion:
I think the word you're looking for is assault gun.
They were used during WW2 to attack fortified positions.

Example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stug_III
This one was widely used as a tank destroyer, tho.

The StuG only became a tank destroyer when they increased the barrel length (and muzzle velocity, accordingly) sufficiently to allow it to fire a solid round at a high enough velocity to actually penetrate Soviet tank armour. Before that, the short barrel was deemed sufficient for fire support, since it was firing an HE round which was not suppose to be directed against armour.

This model, with the long barrel, could function as either an assault gun or a tank destroyer. However, if you are purposefully designing an anti-building tank, look at designs like the Brummbar (German for Grizzly Bear), the Sturmtiger (assault Tiger)and the StuH '42 - all featuring very short barrels.

Thanks for the replies, I'm trying to convert this thing into a vxl, though having a little trouble with it at the moment. I should have some ingame shots by late evening.

So there's no way around the shp/cliff/slope bug with vehicles?

It's not that bad, the higher quality from SHP and no crappy normals to deal with more than makes up for it.
