This version is not 100% accurate to the original photoshoped picture because I can’t be bother to rebalance the vehicle again.

Link to original T-34 that I borrowed the turret of by Glory to Arstotzka!: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2169081207&searchtext=t-34
Known issues: The tank likes to spin left for somewhere reason. It’s not because of balancing (I’ve tested it without the turret and the hall is mirrored) or becasue the thrusters are not perfectly aligned (I’ve tried to realign the thruster and it still spins). If you find out the reason why, please tell me.
Controls:
Action 1/left click – 57 mm ZIS-4 cannon
Action 2/middle mouse – 7.62 mm DP-27 (I think)
Action 3/numpad 3 – 57 mm ZiS-2 cannon (difficult to tell from the picture)
W, S – Forward/Backward thrusters
A, D – Spin left/Right
L – Lights
Q – Start Engines (Can’t be turn off)
Story: In 1949, as the Soviet Union prepared for an eventual invasion of Europe, they need a tank that would be able to speed through the plains of Europe and overwhelm the Allied forces. Yakovlev Design Bureau and Kirov Plant were tasked to design a new light tank that can reach speeds of 100kph and also uses similar parts to the T-34. These design criteria were demanded to simplified production lines or potentially being able to convert old T-34s to a more modern standard. In 1950, a prototype was build but the situation had changed, the newly "liberated" nations of eastern Europe was in crisis and the need for a fast-moving vehicle for the invasion was no longer needed. A total of 3 prototypes and 1 production vehicle was built but never saw combat.
