[Simfphys Armed] Hotchkiss mle 1909 BF1918

The Hotchkiss model 1909 was based on a standard touring car, powered by a 60 hp gasoline engine, partially armored with 1/4″ (6 mm) thick plates, mostly around the rear compartment, protecting the machine-gunner. This was a kind of “bath-tub” arrangement installed over the rear sedan seats, which protected only the high-up gunner. Access was granted by side doors. The driver and co-driver were woefully exposed to enemy fire, and it is dubious that the engine itself was protected in any way. There was an extension of the platform over their heads, acting as a blast baffle and/or to protect against weather. The sole armament was a standard factory model 1909 7.9 mm (0.31 in) air-cooled Hotchkiss machine gun protected by a shield. It had a ground clearance estimated at 30.5 cm (12 in), and wheelbase of 3.65 m (144 in) for an estimated wheel tread of 1.65 m. It had a 3 speed forward, one reverse manual gearbox and liquid-cooled Hotchkiss 6-cyl 9.5 L gasoline engine, front-axle, chain drive. Crew comprised the driver, co-driver, machine-gunner and loader.

The hotchkiss can be found under BF1918 category along with the Mercedes

The collision models are fixed so basically you can destroy the hotchkiss by throwing frag grenades to the gunner's seat or gunner's basket [where the gunners usually sit at]

the car has 3 seats:
1 is driver
2 is passenger
3 is Gunner
