Description
Overview
Named after the battle formation used by the Spartans of ancient times, the Phalanx tank destroyer follows all of the same principles of the formation. Featuring strong frontal armour as well as a powerful pokey gun the Phalanx features the same head on attack power of the manoeuvre. But, like the Phalanx battle formation this tank is also weak against attacks to the side and rear. However, do not fear for Quantum Industries has accounted for this. To fix this the vehicle was given quick track traverse allowing fast hull rotation as well as a roof mounted machine gun with a full 360-degree traverse allowing protection from all angles.

Author’s note: This tank has most notably competed in the January tank event alongside the Gunslinger MBT. See last image for image of the competing tank.

Could you make a video on how you got the MART gun to work so well, i have made my own tank destroyers with a fixed gun and the gun gets really flickery (it moves a shit ton) i did my best to replicate the guns system (not a copy of the tank itself) to put on my TD MK3 (you can find that on the workshop) but it keeps fliping around and i cant stand it anymore can you help a guy out ?

You gonna make anything pertaining to the Testudo(turtle) formation?
Maybe strong upper defense for AA use, but weak unless surrounded by armor(like this tank)?
