[Ignition Point v2/v3] Sd.45 Main Battle Tank

Ignition Point v2 is a land vehicle project incorporating lessons learned in prior projects, based on my own universe plus nations from a nation RP called TExpo. Ignition Point v2 utilizes a gun convergence method meaning the driver of the vehicle can operate every gun at once, leading to every vehicle only having one seat, though not all vehicles need it. Ignition Point v2 is NOT COMPATIBLE with The Greatest War.

Edit 6/28/2024 - The release of IPv3 will coincide with a lot of IPv2 mods being rebranded, too, since they're much the same, but with subtle changes for gameplay. This mod I consider compatible with future IPv3 releases, so it is low priority for remakes.

Wespad is a country once destroyed by war, now a strong local power due to many internal changes and support from the Axis. Its armored vehicles by the Cold War have become some of the most powerful on the planet, ranging from either reliable and effective platforms to high performance 'supertanks'.


This mod contains the Wespad Sd.45, a main battle tank made in 1953, to replace aging Sd.35 S1s and S2s. Armed with a 99mm cannon with potent HEATFS as well as a coaxial 22mm autocannon means that it's damage output is very high. Armor is far improved over the Sd.35 S2, rejecting the "all or nothing" philosophy on that vehicle. Mobility is notably better than Sd.35 S1, boasting a great reverse gear and better engine at comparable weight. Wespad uses these as their MBT until the Sd.55 was developed in the late 1970s to 80s, to support their heavy tanks such as Mt.100 and Mt.110 (wonder if that's a hint or something). As well as this, they are exported to North Terea, who make use of a heavily modernized version until their Reunification War.

Pro tip: The Sd.45 is an excellent MBT at close range, but suffers at longer distances due to the poor accuracy of the autocannon and velocity of the main gun. However, its turret is notably stronger than the rest of the armor, so if you must engage at range, do so hull-down.
