Description:
----------

The Rhino Main Battle Tank is the heavy front line vehicle of the Vanquishers
ground assets.

It is using the same hull shape as the Elephant IFV, but it has been upgraded
to heavy armor, to give it the necessary protection. It also has gyroscopes
and thrusters to aid in no-gravity situations.

It also has a different weapons loadout, to give it the abilities to fight
armored opponents.
The loadout contains of an artillery cannon as main gun, to give the Rhino MBT
a hefty punch at long range. The main gun can be directly controlled by the tanker
or be handed over to AI control.

For close range anti-infantry, or anti-air defense it has three gatling guns.
One of these gatling guns is coaxial to the main gun. One gatling gun is mounted
in a movable pod on the turret and can be AI controlled. The third gatling gun
is mounted in the hull.

It really can't have been like this from the start.

Even in the pictures that show the tank from the top you can see, that there is quite the gap between the turret cap and the side mounted gatling assembly.

Something must have messed with the offset value on the MBT, but not on the IFV.

I guess, we'll never know...

It was actually the rotor for the turret mounted gatling gun, that caused the klanging, believe it or not.

It somehow must have gotten set to -11cm, which led to the side mounted gatling assembly to be forced against the turret cap. That then made the whole thing flip out.

I have reset the rotor to a functioning value.

Was it like this from the beginning?

update on this, it seems that the gun mantlet is clipping with the cheeks on the front and causing clipping issues, no way to fix unless you remove the gatling and the camera, the IFV is fine though, only the MBT experiences this

Front chaingunnnnn, not on the turret

Yeah its smaller, but maybe the AI turret may help. The artillery cannon obliterates vehicles, so it might win with a good hit.

Time to compare this to the Revelation MBT.
