Description
The tank that looks like a huge metal lunchbox

The A7V tank was one of the few heavy tanks manufactured by the german army during the first world war.
This model is equipped with a total of 4 machine-crossbows, 2 flamethrowers and one cannon. With this tank, I have designed an armor plate skin pack. both the besiege armor plates and the new skin pack look great on the tank.

I must sadly note this tank is (as with the other heavy WW1 vehicles by me) rather computing heavy (656 blocks)
Adviced to use it between 30% - 90% (depends on map and your computer). I run it at 55% on sandbox (the heaviest) at 55-60 frames

About the A7V
While the Entente powers (United Kingdom, France, Italy, US and so on) where already using tanks for 2 years, the germans had little interest in developing them at first. The War department saw tanks as too slow for a succesfull assault (as in the german stürmtruppen tactic, speed was essential). But at the end of the war, they finally realized that tanks could help them turn the battle. Therefore, the german war department created a new section: "Kriegsdepartement, Abteilung 7 Verkehrswesen" shortened A7V. The first usage of the tank was during the Spring offensive and remained in combat till the end of the war. As every tank was hand-crafted, only 20 Armoured vehicles where created (of which one has survived). While some tanks where destroyed by the enemies, others got already stuck behind lines in a trench, or simply tipped over due the high center of mass.

wow, Thanks! didnt expect anyone to use this tank as a pvp weapon! the cannon power is indeed incredibly poor, but I can only advice to make smart use of the flamethrowers. and yeah, the top of the tank is basically purely visual or weaponry, so the opponent has to aim at the bottom half to properly disable it

damn, it's extremly touhg. It was able to move without almost 80% of body, it moves even without tracks (i would call it "Reserve tracks"). Sometimes it was able to shoot without cover plates. I guess it is good thing for pvp
