This mod is for all the players frustrated with the cartoony nature of Zero Hour units and buildings. We intend to replace every fanciful unit in Zero Hour with its closest possible real world equivalent, without changing the unit's capabilities.
Type 99 / Overlord

Description
The most powerful chinese tank, the T-99 will be taking over the roll of the Overlord tank. Here are its upgrades on display, An (oversized) crewman manning the MG as a gatling tower, speaker boxes as the speaker tower, and a small flag to indicate the tank has a bunker. These upgrades are subject to change.
Well Done

Waiting for Mod release
Will it still be able to crush other tanks?
Yep! No gameplay modding :)
oh well ...a bit too small to crush other tanks, hm?? :S
Of course, and IRL the laser avenger cannot shoot down airplanes, and a medical humvee cannot spray detox fluid :) This mod is only for replacing the visuals, the fact that the real-life units are doing things they cannot do in real life isn't relevant. But if you find an existing tank which can run over other MBTs you let me know ;)
The German MAUS or Soviet T-34(Crazy right?) could, but those are WW2.
So this will shoot two shots? Or will it just have double damage?
It fires two shots in rapid succession, it has an autoloader IRL.
That's kind of weird D:. I don't like the idea, unless it's for Tank General.
Now you should remember that in real life the T-99 can fire ~4x faster than a regular tank. This is because of its autoloader. In Gens, the overlords can fire 2x as fast as any other tank, so this rate is actually slower than in reality when compared. You'll have to bite the bullet TankaTed! No gameplay modifications are allowed.
Ah I did forget XD.
So the Leopard 2 will have a PDL? XD
So what will replace the Double Barreled Marauder? Since it fires 3x as fast.
pal kinda funny even though the Type 99 has auto loader IRL our crews in our M1A2's still have higher rate of fire....auto loader is slower than a gunner and his assistant gunner...and that is a proven fact..the auto loader the Type 99 uses is the same one the T-80 uses...and it has been proven IRL that the auto loader is slower than the gunner and assistant gunner
I see. Well yeah okay if you put it that way then so be it.
Btw if you guys need some help with texturing dont mind asking me
I sure will :)
Maybe just rename it to Type-99km ;) and give bigger canon ;)
That will be for the emperor overlord! :)
gatling cannon???? or .50cal cannon its better and since a tank like this can have a bunker thats to weird
If you look closely the Gatling turret has been replaced by a tanker manning the mg cannon on the turret. And yes, the tank no longer has a visible bunker, it is represented by a small flag on the turret. Remember this is ONLY a visual mod, and so I don't really care if the units "can't do that in real life" because I do not intend to change the zero hour gameplay experience!
You can also replace it by Object 279, soviet experimental heavy tank, with four tracks.
No I can't, since nobody is using this tank IRL.
But Type 99 can't crush other tanks IRL)
Oh really?
The new Overlord is much different than the old overlord :)
Nice Job!
My least favorite part of the mod. You can change EVERYTHING BUT the overlord! Don't touch mah overlord!
Haha, no!
Just my 2 cents, but as the overlord is the only unit without any logical equivalent it would look better if a fictional but feasible supertank was designed. I'm sure everybody with knowledge of armored warfare who plays this has a problem with the type 99 being overpowered compared to Leopard 2s and M1A2 tanks.
There are many more units with no logical equivalent. Laser avenger, battle bus, combat cycle, flame tank, none of these are present on modern battlefields.
Overlord simply had to be the most capable Chinese MBT, which is Type99.
Fortunately the mod is "visual" reality and not "gameplay" reality.
the battle bus has a logical equivalent a grey hound bus or a old school bus....lol
