(obs) EDF M1A3 MBT

Please take some time to read this.

The EDF M1A3 Abrams Main Battle Tank was developed by General Dynamics Land Systems in the year 2012 to replace the aging M1A2. Though it is armed with the same weapon, the M256 120mm Gun, one major change has been added, it now fires DU rounds by default. Although a 12.7mm Machine Gun is still mounted on the tank, when confronted with infantry, it uses M-Hellfire Missiles, which are HE lock-on missiles for use against infantry, unlike the original Hellfire, this is a mini version and is a bazooka caliber round. A new engine has been installed, and in the heat of the battle, the engine of a M1A3 is distinguishing. This new engine has had no effect on the mobility on the M1A3, and it can travel at a maximum speed of 50mph. The M1A3 served valiantly in the first war against the Aliens with a kill ratio of 1 Abrams to 8 Alien Tanks in some battles. During battle, the front and back road wheels have been shown to be favorite targets of Anti-Tank teams, and has contributed to the few dozen Abrams Tanks that were destroyed in the first invasion, thus, these wheels are mostly covered now with Chobham armor. This new version has received the newest version of Chobham armor and the above add-on, and has been designated the M1A3V5. It out-ranks every single main battle tank in the world in terms of firepower, armor and speed

The Old Version
This version uses the exact same chassis as the Fusion Tank, and imo sucks.

Much better, but I still think the turret is too long.

Then again, the whole tank is a bit too long.

The actual turret ends at the red line.
Also, is there something wrong with your monitor, the tank looks fine to me. I have widened it by 2 in the past.

Oh.

I didn't look close enough, and thought that the gray part was just a couple more voxels.

The front of the turret is too steep. Make it shallower.

Shorten the whole tank.

@Tyler Adams: No, that is the angle of the tank
@Vincent93: No, that would ruin the whole tank to hva resize it, and I might as well scrap the whole tank and I have worked too hard on it to fix it.
M1A3V5? Because it is not the M1A2, I can make it different from the older line of M1s.

*BUMP*

This is the newest version of the M1A3, with markedly better normals, but in need of a little more polishing.

Reminds me of an Artillery unit somehow...
But very very nice indeed.

How can it remind you of an artillery unit. You must be kidding me if you are thinking it reminds you of the M109 SPG Sad
