HVK Pathmaker II Bridgelayer (Vanilla)

Description
The Pathmaker II is the heavily improved successor to the Pathmaker I Bridgelayer.

It is based on the new chasis of the Vanguard III MBT, whose prototype saw action in the march tank event held by the SETB group.

The Pathmaker II has been developed with input from customers and combines the reliable chasis of the Vanguard III with a completely redesigned deployable bridge that is wider and longer, lighter and easier to operate. It can also be picked up and locked down on both ends, even from the cockpit of the bridgelayer. Deployment is semi-automated, one press of the first toolbar button deploys the bridge, it then just has to be locked and disconnected.

Huge thanks to Whiplash and MMaster as well as jtdub85 for their incredible scripts, which allow us to build cool stuff!
Also thanks to Inky for his Tracks!
Credit also goes to Peter Hammermann, whose warning signs I used.

I love this.

This is great. Isn't it based on a British tank
during WWII I read about that had a metal
bridge attached to a swinging arm on it that
could be laid down? It was called a "Churchill
Bridgelayer".

Oh good

It does have a spanning distance projector :)

Not width, but spanning distance (across whatever chasm). Maybe even a camera under neath the forward-most edge of the bridge (better able to determine whether or not the placement is valid).

Thanks you two! :) The Pathmaker has a projector that shows you how wide the bridge will be.

You should add a holographic/projector, showing at any given moment the exact range of bridge from current vehicle location (so you don't just deploy the bridge off a cliff, and into a valley).

Still is awesome! Great work.
