Small Update for New Vehicles

BUNDESWEHR -Utility Truck and M113G-

MD JUPITER (Magirus Mercur)

The Magirus Mercur is a German 5 ton truck that was built by Magirus Deutz in Germany from 1951 to 1972. Other series from this manufacturer were also named after stars and planets, possibly because of the "sun and planet" gears at the rear axle. Increasingly heavy trucks were named Magirus Sirius, Mercur, Saturn, Jupiter, Pluto and Uranus. The trucks were equipped with different variations of air cooled Diesel engines, from 4R to V12.

In our mod, this truck armament is MG3 on cupola since West Germany didn't have armed utility truck compared to other nation. This truck main role as engineer truck and will able to refill some HP to friendly vehicle as bot drive near this truck.

Special thanks to panther223 for exporting this awesome truck for our mod.

M113G

In German service, the M113 and M113A1 were known respectively as the M113G and M113A1G, while the M577 and M577A1 command post vehicles were known as the M577G and M577A1G. Most M113A1Gs were later upgraded to A2 standard and got the new designator M113A2 GE. Those vehicles that were fitted with external fuel tanks and the new SEM-80/90 radioset are known as M113A2 EFT GE A0. Under the NDV-2 program, some vehicles had been fitted with a new MTU engine, new steering and brake systems etc. German M113s often have a bank of eight 76mm smoke grenade dischargers at the front of the vehicle, and are armed with Rheinmetall MG3s instead of the more common M2 .50 caliber machine gun. The German Army uses the type not only as APC (MTW - Mannschaftstransportwagen) but in many different specialized roles as well.

In our mod, this M113G will be West Germany APC alongside with Leopard 1 and Marder 1A3 on certain map.

Model from USI and remodel by me.

SOVIET ARMY AND GERMAN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC (DDR)

T-55AM-1

The T-54/55 series eventually became the most-produced tank in military history. Estimated production numbers for the series range from 86,000 to 100,000. They were replaced by the T-62, T-64, T-72, T-80 and T-90tanks in the Soviet and Russian armies, but remain in use by up to 50 other armies worldwide, some having received sophisticated retrofitting. During the Cold War, Soviet tanks never directly faced their NATO adversaries in combat in Europe. However, the T-54/55's first appearance in the West around the period of the 1950s (then the beginning of the Cold War) spurred the United Kingdom to develop a new tank gun, the Royal Ordnance L7, and the United States to develop the M60 Patton.^[3]

In our mod, we have two model of T-55 variant, the modernized version T-55AM-1 and T-55 standard.
