Title : TSM - 6 - B
(another title : YBMP - 6 - 41)
Type : APC

short description

Fast and maneuverable APC with not very thick armor and not the most powerful weapons, but fast, maneuverable and relatively survivable. The crew consists of three people: the driver, the commander - the gunner and the loader (honestly, it does not make much sense, but it is there). Also the APC has a compartment for landing troops, which can accommodate five people or anything else, if necessary.

history

This APC was developed in 1989 for infantry fire support and other auxiliary functions. The main requirements for the project were: high cross-country capability, multi-functionality, relatively economical engine, reliability, and most importantly - a good protection, as for an APC. The final design was approved and after testing was put into production.

After the release of the first series, it was quite successful. High speed and good fuel consumption showed from the beginning that it may not be the best APC, but in any case, it is not bad in difficult situations. The internal volume was not too big, but it could accommodate a mobile command post or radio station. And given that this thing was armed, it could be a very dangerous opponent when involved in some not large-scale operations. Many modifications were made, and many were exported to other countries.

(here are the events from my book, which I am writing)
After the epidemic, which destroyed a large part of humanity, the remnants of the major military forces, who were aware of the economy and efficiency, replaced the APC with this one, because it was more economical, cheaper, easier to operate and, most importantly, easier to repair. Heavy armor gave way to a simpler and more economical options, so that the tanks were not in demand, and on the first place went APCs and armored vehicles. The APC itself was used for a very long time, and with proper care was able to celebrate its eightieth birthday in fully combat-ready condition.

some instructions

1. pay attention to the operation of the horizontal stabilizer . When it is turned on, the turret will be guided regardless of the position of the tank. Pay attention to the location of 0 coordinate of rotation: when the stabilizer is on it is equal to the direction to the north, when it is off - to the direction of movement of the tank.

2. There are some unattached parts on the armor, this is not a mistake, it is designed that way. I think it's funny when you turn too sharply, some kind of bag or something flies off the tank. That's why the actual number of parts is 193 and not 189. And this is also the reason why in some screenshots location of items on the armor is different. (Think of it as a driving test.)
