Großkampfwagen "K-Wagen/GK-Wagen"

Sorry about the wait, I've spent the entire day figuring out turret issues. If any bugs, criticism (constructive preferably) or addon requests come to mind, feel free to let me know. Also, I decided not to include a second version of the tank where the driver cannot use the main armament, unlike with my other addons. I did this just so the in-game vehicle selection list wasn't clogged up with vehicle variants, plus I'm a bit doubtful anyone likes the feature much anyway (if this is not the case, I will add it back in).

The famous Großkampfwagen (more commonly known by its shortened name: "K-Wagen") was a super heavy tank designed by Joseph Vollmer (whose other famous works include the Sturmpanzerwagen A7V) during the First World War, intended for use by the German Empire. Unfortunately for the Germans, the war ended and the Armistice came into effect before even a single K-Wagen could be completed, with the only half-assembled chassis being quickly scrapped.

Putting even the Flying Elephant and its variants to shame, the K-Wagen boasted both formidable defensive and offensive armaments: two pairs of 77mm fortress guns mounted on sponsons on each side of the tank gave great offensive capability, while seven machine guns covered (roughly) all of its flanks. One downside, however, was that forward armament was limited to a machine gun, rather than a fortress gun: this made the tank unable to defeat armoured and/or clustered targets facing directly ahead.

• Four 77mm fortress guns as the main, offensive armament.
  
• 7 MG-08 machine guns covering all sides.
  
• 16 unarmed passenger seats (was going to add mortar capability and a weapon for some seats which repairs the tank, though these didn't work too well in practice).
  
• Some custom sounds (none made by me - credit goes to their respective authors).
  
• You can now aim down the sights of the defensive machine guns.

• AI cannon gunners are not as aggressive as the AI machine gunners.
  
• The vehicle is visible through fog (still have no clue why this happens).
  
• Pathfinding issues may arise due the tank's size (the slow speed may also hamper climbing ability).
