I dunno if you have anything planned for gatt tanks yet or not, but if you don't then here's something. Instead of having the gattling gun spin and the tank stationary, what about keeping the gun stationary and having the tank spin around the gun?

If this idea is possible, then I support it.

I support this idea, although...does the barrel float in the air while the tank spins like a standing fan's blades, or does the tank spin around the barrel like a ceiling fan's blades? :D

    I have an Energon Axe. Your argument is invalid.

Minor hijack, but is it possible for the gattling tanks weapon to make an enemy spin in place? Also major support for this ideer.

A key question indeed. Initially when I envisioned Rich's idea, I thought the chassis of the tank would rotate around the gun a la plane propeller, though, at some angles (like when the gat cannon is pointing near verticle), it would make more sense for the tank to spin like a ceiling fan.

That's how I imagined it too.

Tbh it would be better if you could make the chasis spin on it's vertical axis, not horizontal as that would just be weird.

Most epic idea.
And I just thought it would be the tank chassis rotating around the turret while the turret just stays still.
You almost did, didn't you?
