@Tyrenol; I hope so. Again thank you for the help.

Thanks for the kind words about my design! Yeah sadly my tank is very limited in its gun depression and elevation because of its turret height. And clang can come peeking around the corner sometimes haha. I hope you can take my ideas and use them maybe in another great build in the future!

@Tyrenol; Thank you very much for the inspiration. You are right your tank has a far more durable armament and some other nice features. But if I would have decided to use your barrel design solution the turret would need to be much bigger than it already is. That would look weird, unless I would change the hull design, making it wider, longer and less nimble. It also extremely limits the depression an elevation angles and it is also more affected by Clang, at least when I tried it out. Might be my potatoe PC. In my oppinion your vehicle is designed to take damage, the Dire Wolf is designed to avoid damage. I will try to Improve my design based on your vehicle. Again thank you (reloading from inside the tank, you are a genius)!

I tried the tank and it looks really cool! I really like the design and the details on the tank. I tested the protection and it seems that the weapons on tank get disabled after 1 hit on the front or the side of the turret, the azimuth rotor is also quite exposed. If you want you can take a look at a tank i built that is about the same size and weight and has some more protection at those zones. Maybe it will give you some inspiration for a later design.

@Towerwatch; Thank you very much. You are right the hull is pretty resiliant, but unfortunately rocket launchers and gatling guns are not able to take damage.

its compact, but it's tough! I really like this design!
