REQUIRES COWBOYBINGUS LOADER!

Right click the videos and select "Play" and "Full Screen" to view them.

Adds the highly-requested illusive 360° turret to the helldivers tanks!
> Only shows to other players if they have the mod downloaded and enabled as well. Players that do not have the mod see you shoot in a weird angle.

I do not condone playing in public lobbies with this,
Please don't power-creep random people!

Abusing this mod in random open lobbies will ruin the fun for others, not everyone likes steamrolling everything!
It also heightens the chance arrowhead will severely crack down on these mods, and then none of us can use them. I uploaded this mod to share a fun thing to play with friends, not to provide a trivialize all public d10 missions cheat.
best played with friends in a friends-only lobby anyway, as only people with the mod installed can visually see it move!
Apologies for the rant, I've seen alot of posts blatantly abusing this in public lobbies to trivialize the game for others :(

There are some baked shadows on the model which I'm too lazy to fix, maybe another day (it's not that bad)
also, collision models stay the same.

Also boosts the turret traversal speed by default, and gives the gun more of a depression too. This results in visual clipping, so edit the config file if you don't want that!

Fully configurable!
Contains a .cfg file in %LocalAppdata%\CowboyBingus\Helldivers2\Logs\MaelstromTraverse.cfg that lets you:
  • Choose whether or not to enable/disable the turreted tank option per tank type. (the turret will still move visually within the vanilla limits, this is a limitation I can't fix).
  • Change barrel traversal speeds and limits for each tank individually
  • Change gunner camera traversal limits
These configuration options are supported by CowboyBingus' Mod Options Menu. in HD2Arsenal, place it below this mod.

Your client locally simulates the barrel movement, so it will visually be capped by your traversal range settings in the .cfg file, even if you arent the one in the turret!

Compatible with solo tank operating mods.

Known issues:
- My UV mapping of the gap filled models is sloppy, I'll fix that sometime in the future.​
- Maelstrom weaponry don't apply their respective skins. This is a limitation with the way I modded the turret into the game, the maelstrom has multiple weapons systems and it interacts differently with the skins it can apply than the bastion. Since it was never designed to hold the turret casing as a model, I can only swap the guns for the casing skin.​
- Seats stay the same, helldiver models will clip out of the turret visually, especially the passenger seats. Don't think there's much I can do about this one.
- Damaged tanks don't have their model gaps filled​

Dumb question but, is this compatible with cosmetic mods that changes the appearance(model for example) of those tanks?

doubt it, to make this work I had to split apart and fill holes in the model. It's effectively a replacement mesh of its own, so any appearance changing mods will override my model. My turret works by taking the split apart mesh and applying the top part to the barrel model itself, so that would also duplicate or get overwritten depending on if your cosmetic mod changes the barrel.

as for supporting cosmetic mods... I'd have to manually edit someone else's model to work with my implementation for each bastion skin mod, so unless theres an overwhelming ask for support for a specific mod, I won't do it. sorry!

No need to watch any videos, I’ve tried it for you. The turret can rotate 360°, and it even works perfectly with a single-person tank. Oh my God! I finally got to drive a real tank.

Its totally fine, the model itself is cool enough and reminds me of my favorite TankDestroyer in another vehicle shooter, thank you for your efforts!

it works for sure with this solo driving mod, not sure about the one you linked.
Im testing it rn and seem for the newest option "TD-110 Mixed Loadout v2 - laser and oil-rig gun for the gunner, gatling for the driver" is working
but have a bit weird turret placement, it floating up abit

previous version of it aka "TD-110 Mixed Loadout - Bastion cannon and gatling for the gunner" also works but no weird turret placement this time.

Anyone else having issues with the bastion tank with this mod enabled?
For whatever reason, me and my crew are unable to both drive or fire the tank as either the prompt doesnt show up or the tank believes itself to already be piloted.
