M36 Jackson Tank Destroyer (Semi-PVP)

Description
"The M36 tank destroyer, formally 90 mm Gun Motor Carriage, M36, was an American tank destroyer used during World War II. The M36 combined the hull of the M10 tank destroyer, which used the M4 Sherman's reliable chassis and drivetrain combined with sloped armor, and a massive new turret mounting the 90 mm gun M3. Conceived in 1943, the M36 first served in combat in Europe in October 1944, where it partially replaced the M10 tank destroyer."

this is my attempt on making a Late-war heavy tank destroyer for the WW2 community. hopefully is evens the odds against the Big Cats of the Wehrmacht.

Things to NOTE:

1)when you spawn M36 Jackson, you'll see a Sherman floating in the air, thats fine. its just how the Attachdo command worked on this composition. i recommend lining up the Sherman with the Type-67's hull so it blends together.


2)for movement, it can be manually driven, moved by giving move commands on a map, follows way points.


3) copying multiple M36 Jackson can cause some bugs. to fix these, double click each Jackson you place down and change the name of the tank . (i usally just add a number to the end of it). do this to every object attached to it as well (were ever you see " M36Jackson3: in the script, just remove the underscored number and replace it with the number of your choice). do this for all attached object scripts as well.


4) AI *sometimes* engage it, other times they dont. the vehicle is totally destructible by enem fire, and AI can use it ok, so its "Semi-PVP" at the moment.

Reminds me of sniping Tigers with the Jackson in CoH2. Such beautiful memories, well done brother.

Good looking track, doesn't look exactly like an M36 but it still look's decent. Keep up the good work!

You build a tank and see how close you get it to the real thing.
I have a composition of my own that has 56 variants, most look like the real thing, others are inbetween, theres limitations with parts and such.
The next best thing to a composition is an actual new model of what was built but that takes weeks to months depending on what it is. All i can say to the naysayers is do better, and if you dont like it dont use it.
Cascadian Patriot good work, i will add it to my WW2 compilation list!

CooleCae- ya...well i did what i could. the type-67 is the only 90mm armed tank that shares a similar gun mantled to the M36.

as for the hull, i blended it the best i could.

Sorry dude but it doesn't look anything like a M36 Jackson Tank destroyer.
