How to not German: Don't have either just a slope like the Panther or the shapes of the front of the Tiger or Panzer 3/4. Don't make the rest of the hull completely flat, like for the sherman, or don't have a slightly angled (95 degree?) back slope, which you don't have, so it's fine.
also, i dont know why all of my tanks end up with a more German design, this one originally started off as more of a Sherman-styled tank, and then the body came out more of a German-styled body.
technically, it isnt steampunk, as there are road wheels, return wheels, and idlers, just organized in such a fashion that if the tank could move, if the tracks got damaged, it would still be able to move.
Also, maybe try other styles? I mean, not nazi.
I love this gears, that reminds me of steampink. +1
