Are you a military sergeant looking to build an armored fleet with only the best vehicles that America has to offer? Or perhaps you just won the lottery and a regular pickup won't cut it anymore. Or maybe you just have some innocent totally legal deliveries to make and simply need to use a giant B7 grade armored vehicle for "jobsite safety". Whichever it is, Gavril's armoring division has you covered with the durable, multipurpose, reliable and absolutely intimidating Falcon LAPV based on the D-Series pickup truck, except with a set of tires that costs more than an average sedan.
Featuring a thoroughly armored frame and massive wheels to flatten everything in your path, the Falcon is one of the most detailed armored vehicles on the repository. Every main component, even technical ones well-hidden on the underside, is internally strengthened and visibly armored while attempting to keep damage realistic but fun. This level of detail has never been seen before in my previous mods.
Below is a comparison between a regular D-Series heavy crew frame next to the Falcon's:
Lore
After seeing oversea competitors achieve massive success in the LAPV vehicle class segment, Gavril wanted to claim a good portion of that market share for themselves. Equipped with some previous experience developing armored vehicles and a very big government loan, they got to work on the Falcon LAPV by using a modified D-Series blueprint as a base, except featuring heavily armored metal compounds instead of the regular mass-market materials. After completion, approximately 2,000 units were built, most ending up in the hands of the US military and police fleets, while the rest were commissioned privately. The only colors available stock was charcoal, carbon grey, pearl white, forest green, navy blue and jet black. However, under special request, Gavril offered the full D-Series color swatch to be optioned on Falcon, appealing to rappers and inconspicuous crime lords who for some reason need a lime green military vehicle. To nobody's surprise, Gavril closed the open color palette program within the first year, with less than one percent of trucks leaving the factory with the option, restricting orders to the base color samples only.
Note that this an experimental mod that is pushing BeamNG's physics. While I have done my best to optimize this vehicle, expect occasional glitches and weird bugs as a result.
Oh yeah, nothing major but the stated vehicle values in the selector are currently inaccurate and reflect the base D-Series' stats. This might change in a future update, but at the moment I just want to get this mod released.
