One of the Blitz's buddies uses that setting for his El-Mod flak 1/2 track.
I could also see it coming in handy for the r/c helicopter project I have in mind - not to mention the Kugleblitz conversion Tony said he would do if I went and did the chopper ;D ;D ;D

hmmm, some food for though, because as pete said the re-load and destruction is a bt iffy, but also having to run onto the battlefeild and turn it on and off again every time it gets shot is weird,

however i susspect impact is working on improving and making variable settings!

i do hope this system will be compatible with the DBC / DBU :D

Doesn't El mod have something like this already. Phil has a set up on an 88 he uses at are tank battles.  It moves, fires and takes hits.
You have nothing to fear, but fear its self. Or maybe a KT too!

I see AT guns popping up all over the battlefields. The one shot mode could be RPG's being fired from buildings.

one shot mode
The setting is 1 shot every 2 secs, 1 hit to kill the vehicle - not sure if everyone picked up on that..? Impact are only complying with existing rules here:
This is an existing El-Mod / DBC / Tamiya / Tankhobby setting (so by default a TAMIYA feature!) I believe there is at least one club that allows this setting for a scatch built PzII Lynx and I know Bullyhys on RCU uses an El-Mod system to drive his SdKfz 251 AA model. Hopefully now that AD have released their SdKfz 222 we will see a higher usage of this setting.

Phil uses the DBC for his 105, but I believe it is set to "medium"
