Hi Chris
I would have replied to this post earlier as well, but have forgotten about
it a few times. I hope I’m not too late for you to read this!

Never.

It’s nice to see somebody supporting the hovertanks and it’s ok to scrap the
turret, it gets a nice low profile that way, but what I’m really missing is
the possibility to adjust the guns vertically so it can hit targets above the
level of the tank: It can’t hit anything but ground in front when parked at a
downward slope, let alone defend against airstrikes (which the guns seem
really good for).
If you look at the WW2 German Elephant tank (large
caliber without turret, probably the one that inspired you) it still has a

possibility for slight adjustments (10-20 degrees or something like that if
you play Battlefield 1942 ;-)).
|
I tried really hard to figure out a way to make them adjustable. I was hoping
no one would notice really...but nothing gets past you guys, which is good. The
guns are really heavy, and I tried everything from pins to axles to hinges, and
nothing can hold them up. They’re really big, about the length of five to six
minifigs I think. Don’t quote me on that.

BTW what kind of ammo does it use? It seems like it could run out pretty fast
considering the small hull of the tank...
|
Hmmm...yes...ammo, it would seem that the large caliber would mean large ammo,
so not so much storage room. Maybe it has a supply truck that follows it to
rearm. Maybe not. Thanks for commenting!
