BBW Tadpole (Amphibious Rescue Climber)

Description
BBW Tadpole

Ship to shore to a town! Rescue, parcels, fuel or fire water it brings them all over land or sea.

A fun climber of rocky beaches. Where can you get your screenshots from?

Enclosed Amphibious Rescue Fluid Relay Tender

Answering the question of the sea to land transition this vehicle is a full rescue package capable of even driving up to the hospital of Hospital Island! A bedroll place is located in the tail for operators to rest between assignments.

A multi role belly tank of 750 liter can be used to gather fuel or be self filled with water to become a fire fighter truck.

The diesel electric drive provides propulsion on land and in the water. There are batteries, the generator feed tank and optional use of the belly tank for extreme range.

Standard range suitable for a single short to medium mission between refills. Long range comes when you fill the belly with diesel.

Stability is excellent on land and sea. Self righting on water is naturally done by shape. On land self righting is possible using swing out robotics. Their circuit breaker and toggle are at the pilot’s feet.

Mass ~1600
Cost ~ $39,000

Instructions:

In water get in through the top hatch by coming up from the stern. On land the side hatches can be used. If the side hatches accidentally open an automatic pump will recover the vehicle once the hatch is closed. So long as the hull is repaired this will occur even if sunk.

A key matter is that the seat 1 and 3 buttons toggle which propulsion gets power. The vehicle spawns with them off. Thus until you hit 1 on land or 3 in water the vehicle can’t move!

Pilot seat controls:
1 Wheel motors
2 Wheel brakes
3 Propeller motors
4 Swivel light
5 Generator on off toggle from seat
6 Generator boost toggle form seat

Toggle one or both sets of motor. Based around WASD handling. A-D steering. W-S keys to give throttle to the motors. Hold for full speed or be tap for middle power levels. The W finger can stretch to the wheel brakes. Reverse is automatic when the speed is low enough so brake first to slow down. On long trips relieve with using the right hand.

Caution: This method doesn’t allow for water reverse unless slow so its not an option for stopping high speed water motion.

A parking brake is on the pilot’s dashboard. This locks the wheel brakes on preventing land movement. No affect on water movement.

A magall is stored in the interior stern. It can be used with the front winch as a sea anchor to 40 meters, suitable for the coastal locations. As an amphibious you could drive on and up the beach to park on land anyway.

For self defense a handgun and spare ammunition is located at the pilot’s feet. Non-Weapon DLC users are fine. The location isn’t critical to the vehicle if those blocks are missing.

Or the lower cost Columbia and McKenzie series.

This one is based on the Search and Rescue origins of the game so im not planning a weapon outfit myself.
As for modding this one that would be a challenge as its a very dense build.
Other than some of the roof youd likely have to take out something like the water sprayer to fight both a weapon and its ammo.

Tip: Notice the picture of the Tadpole on the yellow beach going toward the dark cliff with green on top. That is the part on the west side of Hospital Island where you can climb up to drive to the hospital door.
