    Alright, so i have seen a few suggestions of this before. But, no mods have responded. So, this is a pitiful attempt to get these added. First, in season 4 the governor finds a fully working tank. And tanks arent that hard to drive irl. Maybe the tank could shoot tank shells, but they would either be really expensive or hard to find. Also, the tank would have a gun that you can load with LMG clips? Next, military trucks. Also in the walking dead, the governor uses military trucks to block off woodbury. I think some, like others have said, will have a storage unit in the back. But, i think others should have a LMG on the top so the driver drives and the guy on the top shoots? this is balanced because 2 people are needed, and the LMG wont be OP. I think that these should be rarer then cars and bikes., like a lot rarer. Thanks for reading, please add this for lots of people will love it :D

    Issue with this is that cars can't just poof out of nowhere, the dev's would have to code all of this, and also there is a working tank in front of the CDC. Chances are they most likely won't like this because it would be odd to have all the built vehicles like this, and then ones you ran actually ride in.

    Love the suggestion though.

    It just fires it doesn't move
    Yeah, i know but what i mean is an actual driving tank and trucks. It cant be too hard to program, because there are already cars and moter bikes. So, they can use some of the same code. But, that would still be difficult. I just think this would be cooler :)

    They can't add those because they already have tanks in trucks in the maps that are made of blocks.

    It would be cool to have this added. The car code would not work, because with a car you have one entity that you can control. If you had a tank, you would have to have a tank body entity, and a turret entity on top. Tank body movement would behave like car, but you would have to write a whole new class for the turret. The turret would have to move along with the tank body (maybe put them on the same item frame??), and rotate on the player move event according to the vector the player's head is facing. It is definitely possible, but it would require a little work.

    Plus, you are looking at 2+ blocks required modeled for one tank design. There are only so many blocks available that are not modeled, besides the time it would take to model and texture them, and then create a plugin for the tanks...

    you would control the tank from the turret seat, thats were you drive most tanks.

    yeah, those are just for decoration. What i mean is tanks that move and stuff

    .. they can't add real tanks because it would make no sense, why would that have tanks made of regular blocks and ones that move? It's not a logical decision.

    There are cars and bikes that are made out of real blocks too...

    But seriously, tanks aren't gonna be implemented. It just wouldn't make any sense for an average survivor to be driving around in a tank in an apocalypse (same goes for helicopters too).

    Maybe in the future, they can make the cars/bikes/tanks or trucks (if they Do add one) appear on the road like actual cars instead of finding them in chests. And also make the cars need fuel and stuff

    Yeah, it would be cool, but impractical. It would be way to overpowered against players, plus an rpg could take out out easily.

    Actually it's not really possible to destroy a modern tank with an rpg. What is more likely is destroying it with a mine or something.
