KAMAZ-6345 Arctic

Version 1.5:

Additions:
-Allison transmission option

Background: Few vehicles offer less utility than the Azov 42-20 Antarctic and fewer still can match the level of disappointment suffered by most after realizing the final vehicle unlock was surpassed by nearly every other platform--if there were any roles the Azov 42-20 could perform, there were at least 6 other platforms which could do the same task more efficiently. The value proposition for the Azov 42-20 was nonexistent.

The KAMAZ-6345 Arctic received the following changes:

• Name change to reflect the real-world vehicle
• High and low saddle attachments
• Working rear cabin beacons (see image)
• Cabin protector
• Roof rack
• Choice of 4 suspensions heights
• 73" wheel options
• Mass reduced from 27,000 kg to 16,000 kg to mirror actual vehicle weight
• Utilizes the LAZ-8 T260, LAZ-8 T290, and IMZ-8 330-T engines; "B+, A-, A" power-to-weight rating respectively (same engine as the Tayga)
  • The reduction in mass and the new powerplants provides the KAMAZ with best-in-class fuel economy (even when paired with the off-road gearbox)
• Center of gravity adjusted to prevent rollovers (from "1.0, -1.0, 0" to "1.0, -0.6, 0")
• Wider stance; from "0" to "0.15"
  • Note: The combination of a slightly wider stance and the change to COG provides greater stability than the ANK Mk 38 / raised Paystar (see attached images for approximate tipping point)
• Unlockable at level 1

To reflect the additional capabilities, the vehicle price has been increased to ~$185k.

Installation:

• Click to subscribe. This will not replace the original Azov 42-20; look for a separate "KAMAZ-6345 Arctic" listing in the RU truck store.

Disclaimers & Limitations:

• This mod was intended for installation via subscribe; if you are installing manually and have other manually installed mods, conflicts will most likely occur; I cannot help troubleshoot.
• I have not tested this in MP; my assumption is it will not work unless all parties have the mod installed and / or have updated the vehicle within the initial.pak file
• Raised trailers are highly recommended (especially for raised suspension and larger tires)
