some old footage from fulda gap 2010. was a good time. I still think i was robbed of that kill. looked like the fist shot hit and the second the ref blocked. This is why you have to have a regular ref watch you fire and track the hit www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLHOZDs4H64 |

Looks like the 12.SS Will be mobile and hostile pretty soon with a tracked paintball tank. Mr Macson will fill us in more hopefully

Cant wait to see this happen. But it looks like wee need to find new playing fields to assemble our armored divisions. Like OXCC, WESTPOINT and FIELDS OF FIRE. We could assemble our forces for a future Fuldagap game for 2014. I'm sure they would love to have us
I really cant see Skirmish allowing us to run three or more tanks on the German side anytime soon. Unless they change there policy. Also we have this nasty little business with CRAPGAME.

Greetings all!
I am in the early planning stages of building a paintball tank. Probably going with electric drive (it seems they do not allow gas powered tanks at Decay of Nations.) My initial plans are for a 2 seater with a remote controlled turret. The one problem I am running into is how to feed the turret guns (not the main cannon) and keep them as high as possible in the turret.
I am hoping that I can get a few suggestions as to what will work and what is never going to work.
Thanks in advance for your help. Once I start putting ideas on paper I will make a thread here. I can assure you that this will be unlike anything you have ever seen on the field.

I use tippmann a5s in my tanks. i just have a regular hopper and a ton of pods mounted nearby to reload. they do make a larger 400 plus hopper for the a5. you could also fabricate some sort of larget hopper pretty easily.
Its too bad they dont allow gas powered tanks. I wanted to bring my tank out there some time. i played at sc village years ago. it was a great field

My plan is to have the gunner out of the turret so hoppers and pods will not work for me. I am thinking about some sort of bulk feeder mounted in the top of he turret that is fed from a larger reservoir lower in the turret. I need to use electros for the remote triggering system so I was thinking Ions for the guns. The main cannon will most likely be Havoc based. A reloading system for that will take some work but I have a man working on that.
I am open to any suggestions you have I am new to this process and I know there is a lot of work to make ideas into working models.

The HAVOC is a awesome AT gun to use for a turret gun. You van attach a three feet PVC tube to the end of your Havoc. Build a basic breech loader with a slide , so you don't lose air pressure. I will post a picture of one.

Here are two pictures. You can see were I attached a handle to my breech slide.
