Mods from the «Tracked vehicles» category 16

Tracked semi-trailer, transports DT75 tractor - 8 points.

The mod K-700A "Kirovets" version 09.05.17. Author: Vasya Karpov (vasia_b4)

Added addons, transports cargo in the sum: 4, 8, 12 points.

I won’t describe the prototype; let’s move straight to the model. The model was made entirely by myself, though it doesn’t match the original perfectly in every detail. But the point of this release isn’t the model itself, it’s the tracks. Many variants were made to determine the cause of the tracks slipping over the rollers. And I have figured it out. This model isn’t perfect yet, but future releases will shock you.

The tracks on the model don’t come off spontaneously. On the contrary, there are cases where objects (a huge rock, a stump, a large branch) caught between the track and the roller stop the model and prevent movement. Regarding the BAT-M addon – it’s best to integrate it with the model, since installed separately it doesn’t work or look quite right. If you want, I can release a separate BAT-M version or include it in a mod update.

The mod works equally well with all versions of ST+, but I still recommend installing the config from the archive. The developer menu is enabled, and if you do break a track, there’s an option to reload in all game modes. Enjoy the game and take care of your tracks!

P.S. All textures were created by my daughter Alexandra.

This mod pack includes test models that are more or less suitable for publication. Some models may lack certain details or have unfinished textures, as the tests were conducted on the tracks. The models are not intended for completing game missions or transporting cargo. Now, in order, about the models. There are three of them out of six, so there will be a Russia Tank Pack 2.

- T-54-55. Underwent or rather survived several dozen modifications. At one stage, the mod-item 405 mu was produced, as the prototype has the chassis of the light tank T-54;
- T-54. The development of a completely new project started from this one;
- T-90. It was supposed to be the final stage of experiments, but it turned out to be just the beginning;
- T-90. Has one more road wheel. Accordingly, the track is longer, and during setup and testing it was found that one track should not have more than 60 track links in the chain, as properly configuring their interaction with each other is very difficult, and in some cases impossible. A complete redesign of the tracks and road wheels was required, and as a result, it became the start of another project.

The models may experience more frequent track drops when hitting obstacles. These are test versions and were not fully configured.

The Dt-8 "Vityaz" mod is published in a shortened version.

Some addons are missing because they were either disliked or require significant reworking.

Gameplay recommendations:
I do not advise wandering into the forest; the great length limits maneuverability on narrow roads, and getting stuck between two pines with no way out is easy. It maneuvers reluctantly when reversing. It needs the open spaces of swampy meadows, where the presence or absence of roads does not matter.

High off-road capability and movement speed both on asphalt and in swamps make the gameplay enjoyable and comfortable.

The mod will be further developed, with more addons and cargoes added in the very first update.

Enjoy the game, and watch the tracks! Getting foreign objects caught in them risks derailing the tracks from the rollers.

This mod uses materials from various mods, but unfortunately, I no longer remember their authors. If you're interested, you can improve it; I uploaded it because the gusli are already abandoned, but the tractor might be useful to someone. I'm not a modder, just configured it for myself!

SP+ is required for it to work, included in the archive.

A remake of the excellent mod by Vasya Karpov and configuration for the good old SPINTIRES 03.03.16. The archive contains 2 versions of PTS-Ma. SP+ is required for operation and is included in the archive. Enjoy your rides!
