The ARL-44 is a rank French tank destroyer.It With a very good gun and appreciable armour, this tank is deemed to be a long-range sniper on the battlefield. Its only downside lies with its mobility: it is slower than most tanks.The ARL-44 bears very distinctive characteristics, with a WWI-style track system (similar to the Churchill) which runs across the whole side of its chassis. This tank is a mix of different inspirations, mainly late war German tank technology such as the Panther series or the Tiger II, from which it takes its sloped frontal armour and tall profile. As France was reviving from WW2, its engineers were hard at work to catch up with tank technology, the ARL-44 series was a training ground for them. This is why this tank has rather weird design choices, coming from both experience and experimentation. This final iteration of the series is comparable to the famous King Tiger (while being not as good).

@JHLH do you mean one that wouldn't require any plug-in mods? That would be really cool!
..have you checked out @Arstotzka’s bad-ass KV-2 "Stalinium Death Fridge”? He built a really cool no-mod firing cannon that'll calculate the firing elevation if you want it to. I've tried to figure out how the hell it works... with no luck. Maybe it'll give you some ideas for something. Theres also has a righting system when you have a tip-over and a couple other things.
I like it just a little bit more than The Ban Hammer.

@Arstotzka I'm gonna slap a cannon mod this one and put it up against your Stalinium Death Fridge that I modded with a 152mm cannon.
I'm excited to see who wins. The KV-2 has withstood a hit a direct hit from the Ban Hammer's 80mm cannon. However, the 152mm cannon on the KV-2 will almost always destroy the Ban Hammer with a single hit.
I have several tanks that I used the "Realistic Weapons" mod to add a working cannon to them. I know not everyone will be able to use them cuz the mod, but I also have non-modded versions for everyone to enjoy!

if it wasn't about a whole order of magnitude larger than it ought to be, it would be a 10/10
