LCM-8 Landing Craft - US Navy

The LCM-8, the US Navy landing craft, for Arma Reforger. It carries a platoon or a vehicle to the beach, drops the ramp, and the troops spread out on the sand. It works on its own: you do not need any other mod. **What it does** - Pilot, 2 crew, 2 gunners on M2 .50 cal guns (one on each side) and 30 troops in the well. The troops ride standing, as on the real craft. - Only the pilot sees the action "Abrir a rampa" / "Fechar a rampa" (open/close the ramp). The ramp takes about 4 seconds to go down. 4.5 seconds after it opens, the 30 troops get out; the pilot, the crew and the gunners stay. Close the ramp before that and nobody leaves. Tested. Players on board are not pushed out. - On the beach, the troops run crouched, split into 7 small groups and take spread-out defensive positions facing inland, over about 250 m. The next craft use the stretches of beach that are still free. With enemies around, the troops react and attack. Tested. If there is no dry ground within 30 m (deep water), they stay where they got out. - The well carries a vehicle. Tested with the game's M923 truck: it drives in and out over the ramp. The ramp is steep, so the truck needs a run-up of about 25 km/h. With the ramp closed, the vehicle is held in place; it is released only with the ramp open and the craft below 1.5 km/h. - Load limit 60 t (only vehicles in the well count, not people). Over the limit, the engine breaks after about 100 m. At 2 to 3 times the limit, the engine breaks at once and the craft sinks slowly. At 3 times or more, it sinks fast. The Game Master "Heal" repairs the engine. Tested. - A stabilizer keeps it upright with an off-center load (tested with 53.85 t placed 0.3 m off-center). - Speed: about 25 km/h empty, about 18 km/h with 54 t. It floats upright. **Game Master piece** - **LCM-8 (barcaca de desembarque)** (US faction). Placed with crew and passengers, it comes with the pilot, 2 crew, 2 gunners and 30 troops. Delete it and the craft is removed. **Not yet** - Only...
