The reason I ask this, is because it could be a cool way to have tank levels like in CoD2 etc, by just changing the player into an actual tank, or something like a ghost/wraith tank etc to allow strafing still.

It was used a lot in RC to good effect and just wondered if FPSC could do this ??

This (i think) could be done by replicating the Player Start and having a new model,then go into third person. Not sure though.

I would rather stay away from the many attempts at creating 3rd person, as it does not work well in FPSC at the best of times.

Yep, of course it's possible You just run certain scripts in each level to alter the player.

Agreed. Having a decent 3rd person camera would require a source code mod for all the segment clipping. Scripts just dont cut it.

Try this

But use the model of the tank, not the antigrav lift

Not tested, but should work

-Why didn't God take gaga,justin bieber or kesha instead of Randy Rhoads, Cliff Burton or Dio?

Of course, you have to design the tank cannon and use it as a weapon, then put in the "has weapon".
