M4A1 Sherman T34 Calliope

Hello, I come with the T34 M4A1 Sherman "Calliope"
And yes before you comment, most pictures of the Calliope were based on the M4 Chassis not the M4A1 Cast hull, but I just like the look of the M4A1, although googling I did see what I think was a Grizzly Sherman mounting the T34 Launcher, as well as some scale models with the M4A1 Hull.

I've spent hours converting my M3 Lee into this, taking parts off my old M4A1 and Calliope from months/a year ago.
If you own the Weapon DLC, you will be able to of course fire the weaponry.

PLEASE READ START-UP BEFORE ASKING WHY IT DOES NOT START (And explode...)

*Start Up*
*Important*
I have a system that will self-destruct the engine if not started properly.
You MUST pre-crank the engine before pressing the starter button, if not, oil pooled in the bottom cylinder will compress and cause Hydrolock. (destruction of the engine)
Once the Engine is pre-cranked 20 times (Key clicks 20 times)
You can head into the drivers position.
- Flip Magnetos L and R
- Flip Fuel Cutoff
- Flip fuel tank of your choosing L/R Tank
- Flip the Starter and Booster (Disengage after Tank is started)
Once the engine cranks, press W to give gas to the Radial Engine.
Once Started, DISENGAGE the Transmission brake (Flip on), this is a physical transmission lock, and if left on or deployed while the engine is engaged with the tracks will break the transmission.
The Tank can be then geared up and down with the 1/2 button or pressing the arrow buttons on the transmission.
Steering is done by use of A/D
Throttle is of course W/S

Gunner
- Control is by use of the monitor, it is a touch screen
E on Left and Right turn their respective directions
E on Top and Bottom turn their respective directions
E on Top Right elevates the gun and turns Right
E on Top Left elevates up and Left
E on Bottom Right Depresses Right
E on Bottom Left Depresses Left

E in the center fires the main gun, or the Coaxial if it is indexed.
