basically an obj. 279 at home. also, on three of the images you can see both the hgs 105-4-1 and 4-2!

its not a regular tank, its a tank with a twist! i was very auger to share it here, tho, i must admit, while testing i realised its hard to screw around due to the unique movement structure getting caught on certain terrain features. otherwise, its quite a bore in most senses which is odd considering my sanity was hanging on a loose thread while modelling some features, mostly on the turret

no, it doesnt have a 105mm gun, "hgs 105-..." just means heavy tank. it actually has a 75mm l/160 gun. its also a rework of a scrap mechanic tank of mine from years ago. you may lovingly nickname it "paris gun"; "fishing rod"; biblically accurate kran" and "radio tower". and no, i wont put a bayonet on it

lore:

after the hgs 105-9-1 "cerberus" and hgs 105-9-2 "cerberus" were rejected for complexity, practicality and finance related reasons, both of their only prototypes were converted into self propelled guns

the 105-9-1 "cerberus" received a 130mm anti tank gun. the conversion was done more carefully with potential plans for mass production in mind

the 105-9-2 "cerberus" received a 205mm howitzer. the "cerberus 205" was never intended to be mass produced, thus it was more-or-less thrown together. both ended up being their only examples and were pushed into service

for once, there is lore too!
