Kangaroo Troop Transport

Description
For the more "modestly" funded militaries, arms procurement presents often presents a unique set of challenges, seemingly forcing a choice between maintaining a large fleet of dinosaurs at the end of their service lives or using more modern designs to outfit a "division" smaller than the brigades fielded by most major powers. With the new Kangaroo Series Troop Transport Vehicle Upgrade Package, that dilemma is resolved.

Our technicians offer a series of factory upgrades for last generation surplus tanks acquired from RAVEN and EAGLE forces, building upon their reliable foundation to develop an infantry mobility and survivability platform with a best-in-class price to performance ratio. The Kangaroo series leverages the mass savings realized by removing the turret-mounted cannon and ammo store to equip additional standardized armor modules capable of defeating multiple HEAT warheads. Additionally, recognizing the importance of tactical and operational battlefield awareness, the Kangaroo Series are all built with visibility and modern communications standards in mind, preventing ambushes, and tightening unit cohesion. For the security needs of the regional power looking to update their mechanized forces, the Kangaroo is the clear choice.

---------
TLDR: take an old tank chassis, bolt a cupola over the turret mount, stuff it with men, you got yourself a kangaroo

(Which is actually the real name of this actually real vehicle, British/ANZAC conversions of tanks into APCs were called kangaroos during WWII. BAM SURPRISE LEARNING!)

The anti-lock smoke comes out pink on mac. I checked the bullfrog and that smoke has zero problems. Sorry to keep pestering you about bugs like this. I'm being a bit selfish, I just really want to play with this one at 100%.

Ok, fixes are uploaded. Issues appears to have been a redundant particle effect shifting COG.

I'm aware of the issue and currently working on solutions.

There are some strange glitches on this one. They keep balancing up on their left-front corner and can't be knocked over, and the treads keep clipping into the ground and making the vehicle glide sideways.

ngl seems a bit broken, the model is nice but the vehicle slides when you try to drive it.

@scorpion, no parts of the rhino were harmed in the making of this mod. But glad you got serious vanilla vibes from it!
