Testing function - Manned vehicle

Q & A

Q: Why the pawn can not get in the vehicle? A: Yes but it's just a test function and you need to enable it in the mod setting. I made this function because I cannot wait anymore to play the vanilla vehicle framework so I made a lighter version. But I'm just a personal developer and I can't make this function perfect so just wait for the VVE.

Q: Will there be some tank meat? A: No

Q: Is CE compatible? A: Of cause yes. There is an individual C# module to make CE compatible, the pawn will load the ammo to the vehicle.

Q: Is this mod balanced? A: I think the tank is very powerful in some situations.
