"JagdPANTHER replaces Axis 105mm" mod

 "Install_Jag_MEGA" will turn the Axis 105mm FH18A artillery into a version of MEGA's JagdPanther V
mod with winter whitewash camo skin.

  This is for players who would like to see all the available tanks in the game at the same time. The
FH18A artillery piece was chosen to be overwritten because it has a barrel that traverses up and down but
does not rotate 360-degrees like a tank's turret. The gun will also fire.

  Anytime a modded vehicle is forced over a default vehicle's slot, the new vehicle takes on the behavioral
characteristics of the default. In this case, the JagdPanther will behave like an artillery piece: it will
not move forward or backwards and will not turn in place to target enemies. It also takes on the armor value
of the artillery piece.

 In my opinion, these are only minor issues in game play. First, the FH18A artillery piece is a small target, and
because of this the pilot will likely expend about the same amount of machinegun ammunition to destroy it as he
would the default Jagdpanzer because fewer bullets will make contact with the FH18A. The JagdPanther's "space" might 
be large,but the zone within which damage can be inflicted remains small. Second, the JagdPanzer is a very
distinct vehicle and when installed as a stationary artillery battery the pilot can recognize it easily as that and
choose the proper ordnance normally used to destroy the FH18A 105mm artillery piece -- provided that the default
Jagdpanzer IV is loaded as well.
