CFS Macro Type 98 APC So-Da. (Kyuhachi-shiki Sokounpansha So-Da) CFS Version of a WWII ground vehicle. The type 98 APC So-Da was a tracked armored personnel carrier and artillery tractor, developed by the Imperial Japanese Army in World War II. The original Type 97 Te-Ke tankette was successfully used in combat in China during the Second Sino-Japanese War of 1938-1945.

The Type 98 So-Da was based on the Type 97 Te-Ke tankette chassis, with its weight reduced by removal of its main cannon and machine guns.

Wikipedia on line) I have created this api macro with Easy Object Designer (EOD), Version 2. 0. 47 (Matthias Br ckner), to generate a static Type 98 APC So-Da, used by Imperial Japanese Army and Marines on WWII. This macro was tested only in CFS1 sceneries, but I believe that can work without problems in CFS2-3 and FS2000-2002. All mine API macros, could be included on objects libraries with crash detection (for CFS missions), but must be distributed with the original API-MACRO copyright.
