[Ignition Point v2] T-49/52 Main Battle Tank
Ignition Point v2 is a land vehicle project incorporating lessons learned in prior projects, based on my own universe plus nations from a nation RP called TExpo. Ignition Point v2 utilizes a gun convergence method meaning the driver of the vehicle can operate every gun at once, leading to every vehicle only having one seat, though not all vehicles need it. Ignition Point v2 is NOT COMPATIBLE with The Greatest War.
Got manic and caffeinated. Did this in about an hour. Promise I’ll try to release these single tank mods like, 2-3 times a week maybe?

The Zvezden Federation is a large collection of smaller communist states, notable for its odd military setup; a large number of penal units known as "linefighters" equipped with basic and often obsolescent equipment, and more elite "specialists" who join the military willingly and receive much better, top of the line equipment and are used for primarily for breakthrough and combat engineering.
This mod contains the Zvezden T-49/52, a main battle tank made in 1949, upgraded in 1952, as the name suggests. Armed with a 107mm gun with potent HEATFS and having a fast reload, as well as a 15mm roof-mounted machine gun with APHE rounds, it is a perfect all-around vehicle. Armor is workable, mobility is great, and firepower is very respectable. Zvezden primarily uses these as breakthrough vehicles during Linefighter assaults, until it was replaced in such a role by more advanced tanks. After that, it was relegated as a Linefighter staple, mostly being used as an assault gun as opposed to a tank that could survive hits or damage modern MBTs.
Pro tip: The T-49/52, while excellent at all situations, is best as a close range reaction brawler. A shot from the main gun and a spray of the 15mm MG should take out most not-heavy MBTs. At long range, the cannon becomes harder to aim, and you risk being outranged by vehicles with sabot.
