Description
Military Tanks & Helicopters adds a driveable tank and a helicopter with first-person interiors, weapons, and fuel use. Both have 3D models with camouflage textures and looping engine sounds. Press F5 to switch to third person.
Tank controls
W and S drive forward and backward. A and D rotate the hull. The turret follows your view, with limits on how far the barrel can tilt.
Left-click fires an explosive shell. The targeting HUD shows a crosshair and the reload cooldown. In first person, you see out from inside the turret.
Helicopter controls
W and S move forward and backward, A and D turn, Space climbs, and Shift descends. The helicopter collides with terrain. Its cockpit has a translucent canopy, and the rotors spin during flight.
Press H to switch weapons. Hold left-click in gun mode for automatic fire; rocket mode fires one explosive rocket at a time with a longer cooldown. Both aim where you look.
Shift will not make you dismount in midair. Press E to leave the helicopter, preferably after landing.
Making and using fuel
Vehicles start empty. Craft a Fuel Canister with eight iron ingots around an empty center slot. It holds up to 2,000 fuel.
Craft an Oil Bucket by combining a bucket and coal in any arrangement. Put the canister and an Oil Bucket in an anvil to add 500 fuel. Four buckets fill an empty canister.
Hold right-click on a vehicle with a filled canister to refuel it. The helicopter uses fuel faster than the tank.
The mod is still a work in progress. Leave a comment if you find a bug or have an idea.
Motorcycle in 1.1.0
The BMW R75 is an unarmed transport vehicle with WASD steering and a top speed nearly three times the tank's. It has animated wheels and handlebars, engine sounds, exhaust smoke, and a HUD with speed and fuel displays. It uses the same Fuel Canister as the other vehicles. The camera starts in third person; press F to dismount.
Optional integrations add rider scaling through Pehkui, riding poses through PlayerAnimator, and exhaust effects through Photon. The vehicles work without these three mods.
