[Immersive Vehicles/IV/MTS] VEB Automobilwerke Schwikau
by Franz_Junker
VEB Automobilwerke Schwikau extends Immersive Vehicles with mostly Soviet-era military and civilian vehicles, including tanks, an armored personnel carrier, aircraft and cars.
What it does
The add-on brings a set of vehicles inspired by Eastern Bloc designs into Immersive Vehicles. The military side covers tanks such as the T-72, T-80 and T-90 variants, which share one chassis, plus a BTR-40 with four six-wheel variants and a halftrack form, a 2A36 Giatsint-B artillery gun and an SU-25 Frogfoot ground attack aircraft. A small set of weapons, including the AK-M-55 Groza assault rifle, a concept main battle tank and an Albatross based WW1 era biplane, rounds out the list.
The mod requires Immersive Engineering, Immersive Vehicles and the [Immersive Vehicles] IAV Parts pack. Weapons and ammunition come from the IAV pack under its AMCI Parts tab. Crafting uses Immersive Engineering recipes. The mod runs on Forge in the client and server environment, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.12.2, 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, with 1.1.11 for 1.20.1 as the latest file. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source.

What the author says
Humongous shoutout to Blaze Wolf for handing me the power of spring. Without his input the entire suspension system for both military and civilian vehicles would have been much, much worse. So thank you, kind person. Special thanks to Hashim, Nax, Blaze, Laura and everyone else who have helped make this mod what it…
