    Frag Grenade What is this beautiful piece of machinery?

    This has been there for a while:

    Kinda looks like the Russian medium tank Objekt 416:

    This has probably been stated multiple times but I will add my expertise in this subject. It looks like it's been hinted in the game for a while, armored vehicles. With the E8 Sherman introduced as a drive-able vehicle in Graal, will armored vehicles soon be a method of fighting? If so, I'd absolutely love to help out with that, currently I'm making a sprite of my favorite tank the Renault FT-17, which I will show when it's complete.

    How can armored vehicle effect the game?
    Pros:
    - Good anti-streaking ability
    - Could offer extra HP like what a car does
    - Could be a female tank (tank armed with a machine gun) or a male tank (tank armed with a breech loaded weapon)
    - Can add a whole different gameplay to Era
    - Tank skins! Historically accurate camouflage to totally wonky razzle dazzle camouflage!

    Neutrals:
    - Could be as fast as a normal player speed (or even slower, if necessary)
    - Could carry a passenger?

    Cons:
    - Possibly over powered if not balanced correctly
    - Can be too much in the streets (no more cars, but just make it so tanks can do car missions)
    - Does not fit in the Era's modern style (possibly, not everyday you see a tank on the streets... but it's not everyday you see a guy with a flamethrower on the streets either)

    I think it would be insanely fun seeing tank versus tank or armored car vs IFV in Era. But many things stand in the implementation of this. If I can help out with it in any way I'll do it for sure. Even if it's adding the description when you buy it. :P

    How's my FT-17 doing:

    I'm wondering about the size (the player next to it is proper scaling), I'm not done with the colors or anything (obviously) so I just want to know if it's too small or too big.

    If this was a car/ mount of sorts i'd say the size is perfect. The design is pretty cool good luck!

    Thank you! I was a great little bugger in WWI, being the most mass produced tank of its time, and first ever "modern" tank:

    Seems like the size in-game matches the size in real life. :P

    I'll go ahead and make this my FT-17 progress thread as well. I'm really happy the way it's turning out, but time for shading:
