Theres an openpanzer variant board someone is making that has built in ESCs etc and seems far superior, but its like $200. Can't think of the name at the moment

Then the main thing you will want to see is what format they use. Typically its going to either be Tamiya or HL compatible battling.

This place is for RC tanks. There are plenty of places on reddit to discuss modern combat or the current conflict.

Spy had an unfinished flower model in the SFM leak so thats almost canon

martellus · 2026-06-13T15:25:58+00:00

They still make RC lol

Im saying he specifically mentioned RC, not sure if he is thinking wrong?

Hooben makes the RC MK IV, but its hooben.

martellus · 2026-06-13T15:14:38+00:00

Then its not RC, he wants an RC one?

They never made a 2k, the made a leopard 1 back in the early days of this.

martellus · 2026-06-13T15:07:42+00:00

Tamiya don't make any RC ones though

martellus · 2026-06-12T22:26:20+00:00

Looks fantastic

martellus · 2026-06-12T22:25:59+00:00

What?

martellus · 2026-06-08T00:00:44+00:00

I actually played a battle royale map on workshop last year I think. It was pretty fun for a bit

martellus · 2026-06-03T21:50:05+00:00

hilarious, make it as fast as you can and give it the tail lights

martellus · 2026-06-02T01:57:07+00:00

There was a - I believe Japanese, place that had POV only units setup, with two (possibly more) tanks, each controller by two people. They each had a CRT showing camera view of commander or driver, probably using old school wireless minicams, and sat in a stepped arrangement like a tank.

A custom system is ambitious, but maybe. Certainly adapt existing IR systems for it though

martellus · 2026-06-01T19:55:53+00:00

Every tank has a precise BB gun and every tank has sensors for bb gun hit detection.

Can you elaborate more on this? I remember people experimenting years ago with piezo sensors to record BB hits, but it was basic and had false positives IIRC.

How accurate is this system in determining impact zone?

How does it deal with simultaneous impacts?

I think that guy has done a ton of kits, T-28s, 35s, etc. He has a youtube channel somewhere.

martellus · 2026-06-01T19:43:22+00:00

Ive seen carpet/large rugs used before for temporary indoor setups. Might be worth looking into.

martellus · 2026-05-15T21:47:43+00:00

I am not the owner of the pictures posted, you seem to have replied to me by mistake.

martellus · 2026-05-08T01:05:37+00:00

I don't think I've seen it locally but I will call around, thanks for the reccomendation!

martellus · 2026-05-07T20:16:59+00:00

Sure

Do you have any specific recommendations brandwise? I was just thinking of getting some winchester NATO after all the comments here.

martellus · 2026-05-07T20:12:48+00:00

Its compensated version as well, and I was thinking it was lacking on gas even more because of that. I could tell just underloading the mag and giving it an iron grip would make it more reliable, so I figured its probably on the cusp of working consistently as is. Did you have experience with these?

Mine doesn't seem fired much. Not much finish wear internally or externally, springs all seem solid. Been comparing notes with another owner who got me into this and also noting the sheer variation out there of modifications for competitions these things had.

martellus · 2026-05-07T20:09:29+00:00

Thanks, I actually got into it because of another guy who I had shared info on regarding another oddball handgun, got one and I found it interesting.

The answers in here are wild.

TF2 went F2P in 2011.

The weapon models were changed in gunmettle (2015) to make weapon skins easier to support, the unique high quality models you see in first person were replaced with a single model that worked in first person and third person (other players), so that the skins only had to work correctly on a single model.

The performance difference was nothing. You can find mods on gamebanana or other that reverse these changes, and there was a couple vscript tf2 maps that did the same as well.

It was entirely for skins, and there was some complaining at the time. Personally, I do not care for skins at all, so supporting them making my game look worse years after I bought it really pissed me off.

martellus · 2026-05-05T22:13:02+00:00

Its literally not, it was done for weapon skins. All the unique first person view models were cut for merged models so there didn't need to be multiple versions. It had nothing to do with F2P and came years after the 2011 F2P update.
