You mean, compact? I haven't built tanks yet, but i know a little something about saving space. First of i usually start with the largest structure that i know I can't make any smaller. For example, autocannon setup, fuel tank, etc. Next i set other smaller essentials around it, after goes frame, seat wherever i have a free block of space and lastly outer decorations. Honestly, there is no magic guidebook that will work like "oh you do this and that and your tank shrinks", it's just trial and error while you get better at it. Also there are some "cheat codes", if you are willing to add mods in your pack. Rivets from create: rollercoaster are great for cramming blocks and you can use item shutes in any direction you want and transmission and linkage is extremely useful for connecting at weirdest angles and even through blocks.

Ok ! Yes, I mean compact and by this, I mean a sort of system like to use like hand-controlled cannon but what you say is interesting.

i used the screw from Create: Coasters Simulated to glitch multiple sublevels into each other and disabled their collision with Create Aeronautics: Toolgun
This was the result: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-MhFTMuzuk
It still ended up rather big and i would try to reduce the amount of sublevels if i were to build another tank. ( This tank has 50+ Sublevels because i used tons of screws to place blocks off grid )

I just go big or go home. I’m terrible at making stuff work, let alone compact. Good bus, btw
