Everything we thought we knew, everything we had been told about being alone, was all proven wrong in the blink of an eye. No one had seen them coming. No one was prepared.

It really has only been a week since the last update, I swear. Unfortunately I have a habit of making promises that end up being challenging to keep up with, but there is good reason for our two months of media blackout. The mod has been progressing at an increasingly rapid pace and we have almost hit the milestone of having the AWSC faction completely playable in its entirety, along with its related economy. That's an impressive bit of work for our small team.
To make a short story even shorter, our hope for a demo release is gaining steam. Once again, no promises, but I would prefer that we don't horde our mod like we did with Halogen. In the meantime, we continue on with the exploration of the AWSC arsenal.
Far from the tradition of 21st century rotors, the Predator is a strange sight on the field. Using several turbofans to propel itself through the air, it has the maneuverability to provide close air support to ground units operating on the front lines.
The Predator is armed with two 30mm rotary cannons and eight anti-tank rockets, making it an early counter to enemy armor and an excellent mobile fire support platform for infantry and vehicle operations. It remains an affordable solution for escorting vulnerable aircraft such as Marine Condor dropships throughout extended campaigns.
The Cobra bridges the gap between main battle tanks and massive dedicated artillery pieces such as the Sledgehammer. Acting primarily as a self-propelled medium-range artillery system, the Cobra excels at supporting armor advances and suppressing entrenched enemy positions.

What's this? Bonus preview of new construction animations for next time?

Awesome stuff, loving the build up preview.
Quick question.
Is your dozer system just a mobile ConYard, or a propper Gens' style dozer?
edit:
oops, pressed wrong link.
this isn't supposed to be a reply to Soul.
Overall building is much closer to a Generals style dozer system than a ConYard, but there are some differences.
Nice build anim, reminds me of the UEF's from Supreme Commander.
yeaaah :D al what I have to say YEAAAAH
Nice update...spy, you should clone the transparent objects though, and flip the normals on them. I've had to do that on several of our objects...since C&C3 doesn't support double sided.
For what? There isn't anything that has/had double-sided objects.
That would be to see the other surface of the transparent objects. The build animation is only on screen for a few seconds. All you get is a glimpse of the holographic projection before the structure starts filling in.
ah, ok then ya...no big deal
