That is one hell of a list of modifications! Is there anything on the tank that you will not have to modify? It makes my Porsche Turm King Tiger project seem like a cake walk in comparison.. Albeit a somewhat expensive cake walk. One that thus far, has not yet fully received a green light.

The one problem I personally am trying to get past is that my project expenses don't seem justified when considering that my tank will only be able to attend 5 DAK battle days per year. It would be nice if there were more than just 5 each year. Have you and Ethan considered increasing the number of battle days per year to at least 6 or maybe 7?

How about a Kursk style battle on a section of open grass field that is about 30m x 30m in size? That way shots fired from between 5m and 30m will NOT do damage if they hit at 45 degree angles. Once tanks close to less than 5m then every hit scores like most hits do at the DAK field. This might be possible at a park of some sort, as no battlefield props would be necessary or construction of bridges, ditches etc. May be able to hide behind some real trees depending upon where the location is. Something like this could be that extra 6th and/or 7th battle day.. If it was on public park grounds I think it might be fine if the engine sound volumes on the tanks were turned down and not at full blast. They should be legal to run there since they are electric powered RC vehicles and don't use gas engines. Another option might be a plot of ground nearby an RC airfield (somewhat like that club is doing in Texas, I forgot the name of it).

Anyway, just some club battle day expansion thoughts..
