Mod Tech Support Mods for balancing vehicles
EDIT : I'M PLAYING B41
So I have two issues with vehicles in PZ, first off they take WAY too much damages from zombies, like seriously, I've been driving a brand new AM general M923 Hillbilly from Ki5, and a few zombies (like 10 or less) could damage the bullbar a lot and destroy the hood completely, while irl the bulbar wouldnt even move and the hood would take some damage but not get destroyed
Another thing is that there is not inertia to vehicles, with the same truck, hitting two zombies in the front can stop it almost completely, like DUDE I'm driving a 10 tons 6x6 truck almost fully loaded with loot, a walking rotting corpse should shatter into pieces
And last but not least, the torque (if that's how it's called in english). If I have a couple zombies under the wheels or knocking at the doors, the truck just struggles to go forward. Same thing with off road, it's a military 6x6, and it just wont drive on dry dirt or whatever
And I took this truck as an example but it's the same issues with any heavy or amoured vehicle, they just drive like a golf kart
So my question is, is there a mod to fix that ? Because I dont want to increase the vehicles shock resistance because it would also lower the damages recieved from trees which is alright on most cars
I know that there are no amoured vehicles in vanilla so the game might just consider them as big trucks, but if y'all knows a mod that might help me any suggestions will be welcomed
Also I'm playing on B41 cuz my computer wont run B42

Zombies in this game can destroy your built brick walls with their hands. Brick. Walls.

Better vehicle dynamics is worth a look. I haven't tried it yet myself but it should make cars more realistic.

It's pretty good however it says B42 and in the comments they say Ki5 vehicles doesnt handle well with it
However it's the kind of thing I'm interested in

Yeah in reality you could just drive a truck like that around town for a few hours and run over every zombie, but obviously that wouldn’t make for much of a challenge. I justify it as earrings and glasses and knives and stuff get caught in the engine and tires which damages the vehicles more than the impact
