W50 Fireengine LF 16

We need some more NATO fire truck options. :)

Thanks for your testings !!!

- Weight is a bit tricky, as 10.2T seems to be the full loaded weight of the unit, but the game (a least in the English version) asks for empty weight and it shows the empty weight of vanilla vehicles. True that it is more for cargo truck where you actually load something on them, rather than fire rescue vehicles. In the end it might stay at 10T.

A big thank you again and keep on going with your great work!

- Firefighting capabilities are my main concern; you put a meagre 5 which is on par with the B1000 and original ingame light fire trucks (Avia). It might not be as high as the TLF 16 (12), but could be at least in the range of the GAZ53 (8) or, probably better, the Skoda 706 (10), which should have a similar fire/rescue equipment. What about a 9 as the Je300?

- Starting year should be 1965 and not 1962. Also, Wikipedia suggests 1968 as the starting year for the W50 based LF 16. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%B6schfahrzeuge_in_der_DDR

- Price is hard to guess, it should carry more rescue equipment so it can be more expensive than the TLF water tender truck. Yet, I think that more than double the price is a bit too much. What about a price similar to the Skoda 706, which is the most expensive vanilla fire truck? This also stands for the IFA G5, which hase the same price (maybe it can be more in line with the GAZ 53).

Hello, I finally had the chance to test a few new things that have been published in the last period, including this beauty. You did a great job adding the LF 16 to complement the TLF 16 and DL 30. I think the W50 is one of the coolest fire truck from the East, alongside the URAL 4320 not yet ingame.

Now, I'd like to add a few reflections on the stats, hopefully not being too picky :)
- Speed: 75 km/h is consistent with online sources, even though other sources say 80km/h as the main W 50. Still, it's heavier than the standard W50, so 75 km/h sounds right.

- Power is ok. The value is consistent with several sources on the Internet saying it has a 125hp/92Kw 6560cc engine (It's a W50 after all ;) )

sehr schöne habe auch gleich aboniert

This will add some lovely variety to my fire departments along with your B1000 firefighting van. My favourite detail is the wooden ladders on top. Keep em comming :)
