unusual design, but many flaws
-wheels have nothing to support them, they just "fly" inside the tracks
-bad normals or no normals at all
-chassis and turret don't fit (is the turret from a public asset?), different design, different quality

a bit more thought into this to make this a tad more realistic and it could actually become quite cool
e.g.
-swivel mounted tracks (a visible joint between strut and track)
-less wheels and instead some actual engine device inside the tracks
-uniform sized wheels. not this, lets fill every tiny space with wheels regardless how big/small they have to be
-a turret mounted under the chassis could be interesting (not sure if the engine allows that to be rendered correct)

I think this would be a great tank, if you lived in Whoville

So first: I did auto-normals 7.1 with smoooth normals, and then did a smooth normals on top of that smooth normals.
Second: The turret is completely by me. it was originally meant for a different style of tank though, so in a way, you're right. (Looks kind of yuri-ish)

I'll take this into consideration next time.

Uhhh. Uhhh.

Smooth Normals was only needed for 1.1 normalling. Anything else does not need it, but a nice smooth:contrast ratio. Tho I'm not surprised auto-normals ended up bad, the shape of that voxel is a headache for such.

However, I got feedback on this and I'll try to improve for next time.
(But LKO, I like those tracks... A lot...)

There has only been one tank in the history of armoured vehicles to have tracks like that & it was a failure...
