Prototype - K-9 Thunder SPH with stock vertical drive

[andrew123]

- Disclaimer: Right now, there are severe problems with its road worthiness and braking, but they'll be easy to work out. This is my first revision of the K-9 Thunder SPH with a stock vertical and horizontal turret drive system (The turret has smooth rotation, but the gun makes it slightly unbalanced and prone to occasional freezes).

 

This vertical drive system is the first one I've tried on an armored vehicle. To use it, you must pull up at launch (after braking) to clear the gun barrel from the front gun holder and then stage the first stage (You'll know what I mean if you actually try out the craft). After that, you should stage the second stage. Do not too rapidly rotate the turret while the gun is elevated, or brake too quickly.

 

To use the gun drive, switch to the gun and trim to full upward pitch. For an alternative use, you could just manually control it with the SAS system activated for stability, although watch out for the energy consumption.
