the A-40 is amazing X) have you seen the OBJ 740,OBJ 279? the soviets had some awesome prototypes. has anyone thought of making an amphibious tank and taking it to a field with say,a base on either side of a large pond,with chokepoints on either side. something id love to look into later. also possibly making a turreted vehicle with gun stabilization,as its not that hard to add if the deadzone/wiggle is removed from the turrets traverses.actually...i may put that on the maus when i make that some time down the road...would allow firing on the move with a better than 0% chance of hitting :) -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
