Javelin DSM eight wheel heavy tank

Post by Apollyon » Thu Feb 11, 2016 4:51 pm

So i finally built a large vehicle for my Deadly Spacemen, called The Javelin:

I was adamant on having a steering mechanism for this built.

Image

It also has crude suspension.

Detail shot of the turret with main gun and rocket pods. Initially i wanted a manned
turred but that would have meant building it a lot higher and the proportions would
have been all wrong.

Image

Image

Turret can be removed easily and the Javelin can carry a whole bunch of DSM.

Image

Engine, targeting computers and technic axle for steering.

I want to add another mid sized gun to the front and had one attached under the
cockpit but (6) it drooped and (7) it was very close to the ground. I might add
more guns on top of the cockpit.

Bonus wip shots:

And i am not gonna lie, this was heavily inspired if not blatantly ripped off from this.

I love that suspension! And how you kept it true, appearance-wise to the original DSM spaceships. Nice work! :godwin:

This feels very much like an upsized M1128 Mobile Gun System "Stryker".

I didn't know this exists. Seems pretty ineffective, too. But it looks cool. Perfect Brikwars material!

Don't you EVER call the Stryker ineffective, you video game-addled shitstain

The Stryker isn't a tank, wasn't supposed to be, never will. If one of them ever comes up against a tank, it will be shooting at it from a concealed position a half-mile away and killing it with the first shot. What it's general application is is to lob HE at infantry holed up in buildings and bring the whole damn thing down on top of them.
