Practicing hard surface stuff.
Lol this thing would fall over any time that main gun was fired....
At least give it a "tail" that it could use to stabilize itself for firing.

Haha yeah - the design is pretty bad. There's a lot of room for improvement!
I don't think it's bad at all... It's a really interesting idea and could be really elevated thinking through the mechanics of it. I unfortunately have way too much time spent around combat machines so I can't unknow what I already know.
Yeah please don't stop refining the design... You could come up with some stabilizer mechanism or behavior for it... Like maybe it folds into a squat position for firing... Or perhaps there is some sort of staking mechanism that it deploys from its feet into the ground.
You could look at the tripod design used on mortar or artillery systems the feet on it basically use like a backwards hoof that uses the recoil from the weapon to embed in the ground and prevent push back.
Forward firing main battle guns like this are crazy powerful... There are sometimes a huge number of recoil absorbing designs incorporated into the main chassis of the vehicle as well.
Come up with a cool story for how it works and work through some of those details please... This guy is cool as shit and the actual art of it is great.
Could just jump forward, shoot, and the recoil would stop it. Theoretically :-)
the gadget on the end of the barrel would probably line up with one of the shapes around the base of the barrel, as it's there to measure distortion
That's good to know! Do you happen to know the terminology for that gadget? I feel like tank anatomy and design has changed a fair amount over the course of history, so it'd be nice to be able to hone in on it and read up some more.
That was quick, I love it! Great job!
Thanks! :)
