Summary
Tanks, if used right, are able to turn the tide of any conflict. In a war, they could've wiped out enemy strongholds, advancements and other tanks. In the old apocalypse, they could've wiped out an entire survivalist group (if they didn't have the Famas). In the current apocalypse they can save your life.

In the current apocalyptic days, the 7 surviving Tigers were salvaged by military operators with the hopes of using anything and everything to control and destroy the SANI virus. It is unknown what has happened to them, but rumors from rogue soldiers is that the Tigers were lost in various locations.

However, the Tiger was not yet done. A mythical monster known as King Cherrycake was getting lonely. No one returned to his lair with the intentions of overthrowing him, as a plastic sword was not a good enough reward for taking on a giant slice of diabetes. He made a deal with Heavenly Day in the efforts of seeing the fights once more. The reward however, would be based off of a rumor he heard from one survivor a while ago, about a tank that would do well in the hands of survivors.

Background Story
The Tiger I was Germany's main heavy tank of WWII, first being deployed in 1942 in the African and European theaters of war. At the time, it was one of the most fierce beasts anyone could've encountered, but throughout most of its service life it was plagued with various problems. Being a product of over-engineering, a lot of expensive materials were used in the making, Tigers were prone to mechanical failures and was generally unreliable in certain weather conditions. Roughly 1,300 Tiger Is were built, but only 7 exist today with one in operable condition.

Needless to say the Tiger's reputation as a formidable foe helped solidify its position in tank history. The powerful 88mm cannon it was armed with was one of the largest tank cannons ever to be produced in WWII. It was capable of knocking out countless American, British and Russian tanks in one shot and had armament of up to 120mm in certain areas, being able to withstand even the American 76mm shell from the front onwards.

Skins
Yes, this mount can have skins applied. This is obtained via normal skincrate. I just think it would be a neat idea, not only for the continued funding of R2D:A but because a lot of neat Tiger I paint schemes look too cool to pass up on.


 * Dunkelgrau - Default
 * Afrika
 * Tiger 131
 * Stalingrad
 * Concealed France
 * Fall of Berlin

Tips

 * The model of the Tiger I can be found here.
 * Beware, this mount is incredibly slow.
 * This mount can't climb or jump either.
 * The intention of this mount is mass mob destruction.
 * The Tiger I Cub's "Jr 88" cannon is able to negate the effects of a brute shield.
 * Be warned, you only carry 15 shells in the tank. It can NOT be refilled.
 * The idea for this mount is to have an all-around mount that any player can attempt to earn whenever they feel like it.
 * This mount is not intended to be an offensive weapon, but rather something defensive.
 * You are still prone to zombie damage when inside the tank, such as ticker rushes, Edgar toungues, brute clubs, fire and electrcal shocks and stalkers.
 * Dying while inside the tank will not cause you to ragdoll, but rather the tank will create a really cool mini-explosion.
 * You can not be revived if you die in the tank.
 * The turret can traverse 360 degrees but the speed is slow.

TL:DR
A tank mount that can be obtained by completing King Cherrycake's Quest and opening a cake chest.
