Version 1.4.0

Improved Firing
Guns now fire in a conic area instead of straight.
This means they will hit fewer zombies if they are too close, but many more if they are far away, like a real gun.
Additionally, the machine gun now has a small chance to miss zombies when firing.
The cannon will still always hit.

Changes
  • The tank armor script will no longer auto refuel.
  • Reduced the spawn chance of tanks, and they no longer spawn in parking lots.

Bug Fixes
  • Zombies are now damaged by the tank guns in Multiplayer.

Version 1.3.0

New 3D Model
The new model comes with greatly improved, realistic textures, giving the M4 Sherman a rugged, wartime look. Not only that, but it is also much more optimized, made according to The Indie Stone's specifications for a proper, smooth experience.
Huge thanks to Silly for the new model!

Fixed Exploits
Previously, a Player could single handedly drive and fire by entering the vehicle from the gunner seat, pressing to fire the coaxial machine gun, and switching seats to the driver seat. This is no longer possible. You can still operate the vehicle in Singleplayer by constantly switching seats, but remember this is a tank, and tanks need crews. The M4 Sherman is much more suitable to be operated by a crew of at least two Players.

Version 1.2.0

WORKING GUNS!
You are now able to figure both the Sherman's main gun and the coaxial machine gun.
They are both operated by the gunner, which stays on the rear left seat, or seat 3.
For now, they don't use ammo, but in the future I'll change that.

New Sound
Added the vanilla truck engine sound in the background to go with the classic track sound effect.
This makes it sound much better while being just as realistic.

Sound Boost
Increased the volume of the engine sound effect by 16%.

Version 1.1.0

Mechanics Window Overhaul
Added a proper sprite of the tank to the mechanics window.

Trailer Attachment
The tank can now tow and be towed, according to how it operated in real life.

Performance Improvement
Increased the horsepower of the engine, making it go just a little bit faster but most importantly behaving more like a heavy duty vehicle.
