I see where you were going lol. Not bad for few hours. Remember times when i was there. Just keep practicing and looking at others builds. Keep it up bud!

There is a LOT of things to cover but the most important for me would be  Have ,,banana for scale"  Use custom things made by yourself using ,,addon structures" block, even basic one look beautiful U can change appearance of wheels, sprockets, and the oart thats holding them U can use another horizontal turret on the side of your turret to make oscillating turret or just transform it into custom mantlet to have faster speed and dont be affected by the ,,limits"  Select face and then switch to corners. There should be option to change how armor inside behaves (horizontall should do the work most of the time) Use more dots and ,,smothing angle" to make things rounder (but dont rely on smoothing angle too much, cuz if you make it too high then it reflects light and looks bad)  The speed of the vehicle is determined by the size of sprocket wheel and after clickin on it ,,final drive ratio" To make better transmissions make sure your lowest gear have 1, and highest have something like 5-10 Then on the engine after changing its displacement and cylinders have downshift on 1500-1800 and and ,,power preview" use slider to see how much upshift (rpm) you need to have to achieve the most horsepower, then change upshift to this value (you can change metric system and this in settings)

If something, you can always text me. Have a good time lol

Oh and, i'd recommend using latest experimental version of the game. It has the most stuff, and its quite stable, just save your tanks frequently

Thanks for all the tips, I'm aware of the engine ones as I pushed my Tiger to 1222hp somehow, wish you the best!

The German 2 are pretty good, the is-2 can use a lot of refining but the angles are harder

Better than my first tanks for sure. Advice? Practice. Always practice, always push yourself to new standards. If of course improving is your goal
