Kranvagn [Swedish Heavy Tank]

This thing has been on the assembly line waiting patiently for an upload for a while now.

But finally here is the Kranvagn

Credit to Hugo for convincing me to make this after lots of protests from me

=========================================================================================

This is a Swedish Heavy Tank designed under the "EMIL" Project, started in the early 1950s.

Quote:"Heavy tank project Emil, known under the cover name of Kranvagn ("crane wagon") or KRV for short, was a heavy tank developed secretly in Sweden during the early 1950s; Kranvagn, meaning mobile crane, was a cover-name.The intention was to replace the Swedish Army's disparate tank fleet with a tank that could counter the Soviet IS series heavy tanks and be upgraded continuously. The initial design, in 1950, proposed mounting a 10.5 cm autoloader in an oscillating turret. Due to its size, weight and power to weight it was considered by many to be more of a medium tank than a heavy tank."

"The project was discontinued during development and only two chassis were built. They were later rebuilt and served as testing platforms for the Artillerikanonvagn 151 and Stridsvagn 103 projects"

Because it's similar to the VK 151, If requested enough I'll start work on that.

My love for french tank designed Oscillating Turrets brought me to this thing initially. Onto the features, enough yap.

=========================================================================================

[:Features:]

Controls:

WASD For Movement Mouse for Turret Movement (In/Out Alt)

Comfort Features:

Laser For Targetting Activates inside of Operation Mode Automatically

Recoiling Gun

Normal reload time for the massive 120mm, as it is an autoloader with around 40 RPM, similar to Base gun reload time (Would be a nightmare to make a 1.5 second Reload Autoloader with recoil)

Strong frontal Turret Armour

Oscillating Turret allows for good gun depression angles

=========================================================================================

In terms of playing this thing, I'm sorry it's on the high end of bricks, but I really get too into the silly details on these things.

To destroy it frontally, you want to aim for the Drivers Cupola or the Area around the gun to disable it's verticle traverse

There is an ammo-rack in the rear of the turret, so if you have the vehicles side, aim for the rear of the turret and it should explode with minimum effort!

With that said, Enjoy
