✨ Features

Everything BS Patrol Tank brings to your server.

---

🎯 Smart combat AI

• Threat-based targeting — prioritizes whoever hurts it most / uses AT weapons.
• Bone-accurate line of sight — peeking from a tiny window won't save you; it tracks your head/arms.
• Movement prediction — leads moving targets, including players inside vehicles.
• Suppression fire when it loses sight, and it gives up if you stay hidden.
• Ignores admins in godmode (admin invisibility).
• Full behavior breakdown (state machine, threat scores, firing cycle): Combat and AI.

🏴 Factions & BTR-vs-BTR

• Assign each BTR a faction and define who it fights — players, Expansion eAI bots, and other BTRs.
• BTR-vs-BTR warfare: spawn opposing factions and watch them hunt and destroy each other — walkthrough: Setting up a BTR War.
• Fine-grained control: AttackPlayers, AttackOtherBTRs, per-faction Enemies / Allies.
• See Faction System.

💨 Defensive smoke screen

• When badly hurt, the BTR deploys a smoke screen that wraps the hull to break line of sight.
• Limited deployments, hunker-down behavior, fully tunable. See Smoke Screen.

🚜 Movement & demolition

• Drives configurable patrol routes with terrain following.
• Roadkill — crushes players, infected and animals it drives over at speed.
• Fells vegetation it plows through and with the cannon blast.

💥 Firepower

• Cannon + coaxial machine gun with tracers and custom fire/smoke FX.
• Optional explosive shells (toggle on/off).
• Coaxial-only mode (CoaxOnly) for a lighter MG-only patrol.
• Optional grenade lob to flush out campers.

📦 Wreck rewards

• On destruction: a burning wreck + AI defenders + loot crates.
• Crates support vanilla loot pools or LBmaster presets.

🎨 Variety & control

• 12 BTR skins and multiple crate models, selectable per preset.
• Preset system with weighted random rotation (easy / normal / boss in one pool).
• Self-healing config — new options are added to your JSON automatically on update.
• Live health on the map marker (ShowHealthOnMarker) — e.g. Hostile BTR-82A [67%].
• Dedicated log file, killfeed, and map/notification icons.

⚡ Lightweight by design

Built to be extremely performance-friendly — like the Patrol Helicopter. You can run 8–9 tanks at once without a noticeable hit. See Performance and Logs.
