This mod is a old project that me and SkyLineGTRFreak started months before GTA V release but we never finished, now that i know how to create simple object mods for IV i was able to edit the tower and cannon to fit the script behavior and finally finish the mod but making it behave similar to the tank from GTA V.
You can edit how much tanks will come after you and how much stars are needed to send tanks.
The camera number 4 was "edited" to behave as an fixed camera attached to the tank tower, it's good to use when controlling with XBox 360 control.
The mod will replace ripley by default but you can edit the .ini file and set other vehicle, look inside the .oiv file with winzip to see the handling line. The tank should spawn at airport.
You can use the scripthook command "enemytank 1" to create enemy tanks to hunt you, "1" is how much enemy tanks to create, more than 10 is dangerous for performance and script behavior.
