Tank CARRO L Numero 1 V1.1

The Carro de Combate Ligero Para Infantería Modelo 1936, also known as the ‘Trubia L.A. nº1’, is one of the many tanks that were imagined but never delivered. Although it never left the drawing board, it went on to heavily influence the Trubia-Naval, the most heavily produced tank of the Second Spanish Republic.

In 1935, Commander Victor Landesa Domenech, an artillery officer attached to the Trubia arms factory in Asturias (Northern Spain) and Rogelio Areces, the Trubia arms factory’s Chief Engineer, teamed up with Captain Carlos Ruíz de Toledo, a Commander in charge of Batería de Carros de Asalto de Artillería [Artillery Tank Battery] in its first engagements during the Rif War, to design what would become Spain’s first indigenous tank on their own initiative . The idea was to design a tank to overcome the major faults of the Renault FT, Spain’s most readily available tank at the time. With increased firepower in an innovative system involving two overlapping, independently moving turrets, each armed with a Hotchkiss M1914 7mm machine gun and marginally better armor and engine power, the prototype improved upon the FT.

The design was deemed a success and a new improved model was ordered; this would be the Trubia Serie A. The main difference of the serial version compared with prototype was a larger size, an additional crew-member, and most importantly, a new suspension system (‘Orion’) and engine acquired in Germany. This system was supposed to improve upon traditional systems in addition to enhancing turning capabilities and minimizing the effects of the tracks on roads. In this integrated track design, the links were suspended from the chassis and held together by a lateral metal wall. This system was designed to prevent the tracks from coming off when maneuvering.

Four of these tanks were built and tested in 1926. During the tests, deficiencies in the tank (especially in the new suspension system which kept breaking) were noted, and modifications were recommended, with at least one of the tanks being modified and re-tested far more successfully in May 1928. Although there was some interest in the tank, political instability and lack of funding condemned the vehicle.

Despite this setback, Landesa Domenech and Areces would collaborate again and in 1930-32 designed a tractor for military and agricultural use, which they christened ‘tractor Landesa’. This tractor would be pressed into Army service in 1935 following a series of successful trials. It also had a military upgrade which saw service in the October Revolution of 1934 in Asturias and during the Spanish Civil War.
The success of their tractor design (based on the same principles of the Trubia Serie A), prompted the two engineers to design a new light tank which they intended to exhibit to the Army.

The armor on the L.A. nº1 was one of the tank’s most innovative, interesting and distinguishable features. It consisted of conventional armor and composite armor.
The sides and front of the vehicle consisted of an outer layer which was 13mm thick and the inner layer a mere 3mm thick with a 25mm space in between. The rear was angled at 66º whilst the front was angled at 64º. It is unknown if the spaced section of the armor was filled with wood, cotton, sand, glass, or if at all. Due to simplicity, wood would have most likely been used as the filler. This type of armor would have been effective against HE rounds and small arms fire. The rear, top and bottom of the tank were 3mm thick. The turret armor thickness is unspecified. All armor was made from chromium-nickel steel.

here we are, a brand new tank compatible with silonugget vehicule add on mod !

There is only one version, because tehre is only one real version. logical.

this model is the first very detail with real shaders and textures, from an old tank.

the turel is moving and you can shoot.

I also made the decision to create a new file for the sound of the tank in order to have a real immersion when moving as well as shooting.

the tank tracks do not turn because the script does not yet allow it.

I took a lot of time to come up with a quality model so give it a thumbs up if you want more !

Required:

Ensure to have the latest version of Lenny’s Mod Loader and Script Hook installed correctly.

download “RDR2 Addon Vehicles”
make sure it working for all vehicules before mine, very important !!!

If you have some troubles to make working the mod corectly, use LML helper to get the info of possibles conflicts: Red Dead Modding Tool (RDMT)

Installation:

Folow step by step the folder coresponding to the files into my mod.
1 PLACE ALL THE FILES INTO STREAM FOLDER
2 REPLACE FILE “VEHICLECONFIG.JSON” INTO ROOT FOLDER
3 GO TO RDR2 ADDON VEHICULES THEN REPLACE INSTAL.XML
4 GO TO RDR2 ADDON VEHICULES THEN REPLACE HANDLING FILE
5 REPLACE SOUND INTO THE FOLDER “RDR2AddonVehicleSounds” IN ROOT FOLDER
6 OPEN THE GAME, open spawner from silonugget and go to tank section and found on the first line: Tank1
