I don’t think it’s bad at all… It’s a really interesting idea and could be really elevated thinking through the mechanics of it. I unfortunately have way too much time spent around combat machines so I can’t unknow what I already know.
Yeah please don’t stop refining the design… You could come up with some stabilizer mechanism or behavior for it… Like maybe it folds into a squat position for firing… Or perhaps there is some sort of staking mechanism that it deploys from its feet into the ground.
You could look at the tripod design used on mortar or artillery systems the feet on it basically use like a backwards hoof that uses the recoil from the weapon to embed in the ground and prevent push back.
Forward firing main battle guns like this are crazy powerful… There are sometimes a huge number of recoil absorbing designs incorporated into the main chassis of the vehicle as well.
Come up with a cool story for how it works and work through some of those details please… This guy is cool as shit and the actual art of it is great.
I really appreciate the detailed feedback! I’m learning a lot about the importance of having a reliable source of info at hand. Looking stuff up online is fine for visuals, but the pages from which I pulled these various details from don’t really go into the details and mechanics I need to know in order to understand why these parts are the way they are, and what their purpose is.
I’ll keep working on refining things, and post em as I finish! Thanks again! :)
