Flying Elephant Design A - British Shellproof Tank

This super heavy tank was invented during the later years of the First World War. The William Foster & Co company based in Britain proposed a few ideas for a heavily armoured vehicle that could survive being attacked by artillery, heavy explosives and quick-firing weapons.

This design, the Flying Elephant Design A, was the third proposal in the project (preceding Design B). Compared to its predecessor, Design A was much larger, but had thinner armour and no defensive armament whatsoever. Mounted to the front of the vehicle was a large, sharply angled plate of armour which may have been intended to aid with deflecting shots fired at the front of the vehicle.

Design A was slightly larger than its successor, (one aim of the project was to make the tank compact) and it ultimately was estimated to weigh 100 tonnes and have a speed of 2mph (this is increased slightly in-game as the AI will abandon vehicles that are too slow and/or become stuck). The tank was driven by dual 105-horsepower Daimler engines. This gave the tank a power-to-weight ratio of roughly 0.001 hp/lb.

• Thirteen-pounder (75mm) gun as the main armament.
  
• The tank explodes instantly upon death, rather than having a burn timer.
  
• Some custom sounds (none made by me - credit goes to their respective authors).
  
• Two variants, one where the cannon is operated by a seperate gunner, rather than the driver; another where the driver instead is able to shoot and see from the cannon.

• Like Design B, AI drivers may drive backwards depending on how the map's pathfinding is set up.
  
• AIs may sometimes leave the tank as soon as they enter, or just ignore it entirely at times.
  
• The tank may fling itself across the map if you exit while turning.
