Vehicle Expansion Mod

I saw something on youtube about an old mod called the "Vehicle Expansion Mod". This mod added WAY more vehicles into Red Orchestra 2 than the official update for the game did. As well as some new weapons and anti-tank emplacements like PAK 40's, some of which are included in the "Immersion Overhaul Mod" because the IOM team used the VEM team's models and such (only guns). The developers at TWI were going to use the VEM team's stuff in the update but one of the developers working on VEM used a wrong version of an SDK and I guess it was bad legally or something. The developers at TWI didn't want to get into legal trouble, and didn't use the VEM team's models and such. The VEM team ended up dropping the whole mod and discontinued their work on it. The models and everything are still floating around somewhere, and this mod looked absolutely incredible. I know it's a long shot but I wanted people to know about this mod so that maybe, just maybe, some people would be inspired to find the remnants of this mod, and continue work on it.

Here is the link to the video where a heard about this mod:

(P.S. the whole video is not about the mod)

Also not SDK, AutoDesk Software(Models and animations) student versions, which are illegal to use for commercial gain. The weapons modeler (AAZ) made any "new" weapons, he just added them to IOM (which was a few at the time, since then its tripled). Also the PAK40 is entirely unrelated, don't know why he showed that, that's a kismet setup made by CoinGod (who is no longer active) entirely unrelated to the Vehicle Expansion Mod. This guy is also really incorrect on this, all the coding (for IOM) was done by an non-VEM programmer, Dibbler, who's now been hired by AMG. All the assets were made by a former VEM-modeler post-VEM development. They're entirely unrelated. PS If you search really hard you can find the files for the SU-76, and Panzer IV H. Which I have... But can't really use because of the fact that I do not own the models or .upks for. (Moral modder's issue...)
