Slovakian APC TATRAPAN

[Marek_Tucan]

Something for next version's OOB update?

TATRAPAN is a 6x6 wheeled APC based on Tatra T815 VP 21 265 6x6.1R truck chassis - the design is somewhat atypical in the fact it mounts the chassis backwards, thus two axles are at the front and one axle, along with engine, in the rear.
In the front there's fairly big cabin with troop/special equipment compartment behind, the vehicle should be resistant to bullets up to 12.7 mm if I got it right.

Basic stats (TATRAPAN T1):
Crew: 2+10-12
Length: 8.66 m
Width: 2.5 m
