Bendy buses are generally very long, this is about the size of a large school bus, so it isn't needed. That being said, I will make a bandy variant that can hold well over 120 soldiers.

That, and you might as well but a big bull's eye on it. Underarmored, poor mobility, and a gigantic turning radius makes that a vehicle I wouldn't ride into combat, let alone urban warfare.

Beyond the fact that this is a joke, it could be used for makeshift defensive positions. Need to set up a road block? Just set this up at an angle blocking the road, and you have a defensive position protecting against small arms fire that has either 8 machine guns and over a dozen soldiers, or 1 105mm gun, 4 machine guns and dozens of soldiers. Hell, I could probably give it STANAG level I or II armour, so it is safe from small arms fire.

I would lol hard when they fire that 105mm, and it rips apart the frame of your bus, breaks every single window, and turns it over.

Lol hard.

Meh, I am going to have a thread where my Emperor goes mad, so making these my new school buses would be funny. Although the machine guns could work, but would be redundant. As I said, this is a joke. Speaking of which I now have an articulated variant, with 6 extra mgs and about twice the length, in case you need to bring the whole family to war.

I will be lucky to pass the Mk I when it comes to speed with the articulated bus.

What program is used for lineart? I've used MS Paint but it's just way to difficult for me to use.
