Description:

This mod adds M113 APC with Animated Tracks, Doors and a fully functioning Turret to Project Zomboid. It is necessary to have the Military Tool Kit installed.

The M113 is a fully tracked armored personnel carrier (APC).Extremely powerful vehicle with its tracks is the ideal vehicle to smash hordes and with your Browning M2HB carnage is guaranteed.

*Only for B42 SP and MP
*Compatible with old saves
*Compatible with KI5 vehicles

Resources
  • Animated Tracks
  • Tracks Sound
  • Animated Doors
  • Animated Addons
  • Armored Vehicle Body
  • Turret (It’s not implemented to B41)
    The turrets have heavy coding that adds a completely new ballistics system that is independent of the systems in the Standard Game, performing calculations for each projectile independently, calculating its energy, ability to cause damage and transfix bodies, vehicles and walls.

Advantages
  • Armor – Its fully armored and can crush entire hordes without suffering damage to its body.
  • Browning M2HB – It uses the powerful 12.7 x99mm (.50 BMG) ammunition capable of annihilating anything in front of it. (Just like in real life, the projectile can transfix walls, vehicles and bodies).

Disadvantages
  • High consumption of gasoline – Because of its weight and tracks it will need much more gasoline than normal vehicles.
  • Low speed – Slowly but with style.
  • Very noisy – Make a lot of noise that can attract a lot of attention wherever it goes.

In future updates, The tracks may break and will need to be repaired, and the machine gun will not spawn in the vehicle. As the mod is in BETA, I left it installed by default in order to find and resolve any bugs it may have.

How to use the Machine Gun
  • The machine gun must be installed in the vehicle
  • You must sit in the Gunner’s seat
  • You must place the 12.7x99mm (.50 BMG) Ammo Box already loaded with 12.7x99mm (.50 BMG) Round in the gun compartment.
    -Due to limitations in B42.13, the Ammo Box is no longer necessary in this version, so just drop the ammunition into the weapon’s compartment.
  • Press the Right Mouse Button to aim and the Left Mouse Button to fire.
  • ATTENTION, the projectile will be fired where the barrel of the machine gun is pointing and not necessarily where you are aiming, so for more precise shots it is recommended that you wait for the turret stop before firing. (It is still possible to fire with it moving)
  • ATTENTION, when the projectile is fired, it will travel all the way until it completely loses its synergy and stops, so if there are vehicles in its path and the projectile has enough synergy, it will cause damage and may or may not transfix them. The same logic applies to walls, just as in real life a .50 BMG projectile can transfix some walls and still have the energy to destroy things in its path. So use with caution, a Browning M2HB is not a toy.

Variations

Today, there are military and police variations, which can be found in traffic jams, military zones, police stations and farms.

Future Updates
  • Military extra parts and own tools will be added to reapir them.
  • More paint variations will be added.
  • It will need to find the M2HB and then install it
  • Tracks may break with use
