Hello everyone,
i came across an interesting new tank model found on
http://www.cadnav.com/3d-models/model-35814.html.
The Type 97 Chi-Ha medium tank:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_97_ShinHoTo_Chi-Ha.
I made it usable using 3ds Max: the tank has 2 seats for the crew (driver and gunner), cannon and it is immune to small arms fire.
However, it has difficulties with proper movements.
I will try to fix this problem, but my idea is to use this tank as a stationary gun platform in a defensive role.

Meantime i optimized the positions of the 2 seats for the tank's crew and the tank's collision volumes - to eliminate the danger for the crew inside being killed by infantry small arms fire, which would be unrealistic.
I also replaced both original forward wheels with the ones from the rear - now they look better than before (see pictures below).
However, i still wasn't able to make this new tank movable.
This is not a real problem, since i would like to use this new Type 97 Chi-Ha tank only as a stationary gun platform in a defensive role.
