You're obviously trying to say something about the vehicle's performance, but... I just don't understand you. Uhm… could you guys write your comments in English please?

And actually, It's very ineffective to keep people off the lawn. It looks great, but if you try to use it you'll quickly find that you can't hit anything with it. Imagine how long it would take for you to turn the tank around in order to hit someone. Against other vehicles? Yes, it should work. Against people on foot? No. It's too easy for them to step out of the way of the gun, and the closer they are to the tank the easier they can get clear. It the tank had a turret, like I said in my earlier post here, it might work better. Since it doesn't have one it's going to be near impossible to hit anything/anyone. Also, look at the gun elevation. From what this looks like there's maybe a fifteen degree angle that the gun can be raised and lowered in. No more. That's just not good enough. If I had the money to waste on a toy like this, I guess I'd do it, just for the fun of driving the thing. But for an actual paintball game? Not good unless your opponents drive similar vehicles.

The gun is not mounted in a turret like you would find in most modern-day tanks but instead the design follows the basic concept of a world war two tank destroyer. That means you have to turn the entire tank around to aim, rather than just have the turret rotate, which would be a lot faster and would also create less wear and tear on the surface you're driving on. Certified for the roads is definitely a plus, I wonder what it's top speed is, should be interesting to drive to work instead of your normal car, every once in a while. Too bad that the driver's head is sticking out though. When I think of a tank I think of all-round armour protection. This one obviously doesn't have that. Pity. Good basic concept idea though.
