Glad you like them, I was thinking about adding more world war I stuff as I find it, but it's pretty much mostly just the variations of that mark IV tank and the French Renault.
Honestly, as a tank nerd myself I'd love those variations someday. Having an army of mismatched tanks is perfect for a ragtag army like the Minutemen (Or NCR as I have made them).
I tried to find a low poly version of one but I wasn't able to find a free model. If anybody ever finds a free low poly model that doesn't look like a green blob, send me a link for it, otherwise if the pilot counts too high then it won't be able to be put into the game without doing a bunch of to decimate it or cut it up.
185,000 triangles is incredibly high for the gamebryo/creation engine. such high-poly models in this engine will sucj the life out of the draw count on the GPU.

search for topology and retopology software such as topogun (not the decimate modifier in blender)
i know people don't have free time but, learning to model and paint your own assets would open a hole new world
I had a friend make me a driveable Sherman and Abrams Tank, so I know it is possible to create them. Only reason they are not on Nexus was a part of the assets used are questionable as to permissions. But my versions move, shoot and have rolling treads. If this author gives permission to use these models, I will see if my guy is interested?
I don't want them to be driveable, they are just for display. The drivable system in FO4 is really bad, and the way one of these tanks had to be cut up to make it work as a settlement object wouldn't work for the drivable stuff anyway. The links to where I got the mods are in the "Permissions and credit" section on the Description page. If your friend wants to download the models I used and make his own stuff out of them that is fine, but I don't want the stuff I modified and made into a mod used.
I don't make replacer mods, because I am not really a fan of them. If you want to make one for your own game, that's fine, but I don't want a replacer mod made and released.
These are great. If you're in the mood to do more tanks, I think a ton of people would love to see someone as talented as you make an M48 Patton tank from the 50's and 60's (I linked an image below) that could be used as a replacer for Fallout 4's weird tanks. There's a mod that does this for the M1 Abrams tank but it feels too modern for the Fallout world, but the M48 Patton is perfect.
I don't make models, I just port free models from placed like Sketchfab. I will see what I can fine, but I make no promises.
Edit: Well, I checked all the sites I usually go to get free models, and there isn't one for the M47 or the M48 Patton tank. The only ones I could find are bad scans and super low poly models that were free. All the others were for sale, and I don't buy models for free mods. I will keep my eye out though, but I doubt I will find one for free.

Edit: The mod has been updated and the new tank has been added. :-)
Jokes aside, the Renault FT and the Mark IV (I think it's a Mark IV) look great!

good luck!
I can change the resolution for you to a lower one
send the modules to me , I do the job.
Would love a sherman tank and maybe more WW2 era tanks and vehicles if possible because they fit the world so good
BTW, I love all your Star Wars stuff too.
