Description
The newest invention of the US Army in fielding laser weaponry is the M340 A1L
Equipped with a high precision long range laser it is capable to engange enemy forces from long distance. Changed wavelength and higher energy output give the laser a blue appearance.
Due to the unstable reactors inside it is very vulnerable even though it is already a lot more armored than every other artillery.
A sexy demon of an artillery piece.
das a long gun xD
I love it btw, so fits the USA style you know? great work
Long range direct fire cannon, decent armor, a lot of player will probably end up using this as an MBT rather then an artillery.
well..not me..i love artillery and i prefer to kill bases from afar.
Yeah so do I. I will probably use them to snipe overloads and nuke cannon while my planes and superweapons ravage my enemy's.
it looks great but remember it's an altirllery piece so it's vurnerable too direct hits
laser that doesn't fly straight
seems legit
Maybe the laser fired will be reflected using satellite, like with the particle cannon. But then again I wouldn't see the reason why it would be mobile arty
Who actually said it flies in a bow? it fires straight forward.
Well the title says artillery, and I don't remember any arty using straight fire except for AA arty
excuse me but some arties fire indirectly and directly...
of course if your artillery is an energy type, it wouldn't follow projectile trajectory for it is energy based...
it essentially means that this laser tank is long ranged, therefore making it an artillery and the sole purpose of an artillery is to obliterate targets from afar...
Artillery means that it fires further than regular units.
so is a laser sniper, i like!
Well, the gun looks "original". There are parts that suggest that it can change elevation like howitzer. And "barrel" is too long, ordinary, nothing suggests it should fire laser...just those lights.
As a model it is nice, but it's not kind of laser firing vehicle.
Well I was bored of all those "red glowing short guns" to make it look like a laser. I went with a bit more decent look. In fact in reality you wouldnt even see lasers. You would just see a barrel with a mirror inside. No glowing stuff.
The gun is long because it is an artillery. All artillerys ingame have pretty long dongs. If I made the barrel short it would look even more like a MBT.
It is NOT a experimental tank thats why it has of course armor. I could've indeed changed the whole look to something weak looking and more like a rolling lab but that is not something a army would deploy into battlefield.
Anyways I would be interested to see your suggestion of how a laser vehicle looks like. Maybe I can add those suggestions to a later new vehicle.
I didn't say I want red-glowing-something (you made it white-blue anyway). I am just saying this barrel looks like ordinary howitzer. Also there is a joint for gun elevation. As you well know, laser beam is straight, not ballistic.
To be honest, I can't imagine Laser tank, or artillery. Simply because I don't think it is a good weapon for atmospheric fight. Device would be too big, would need great power-source while delivering almost no damage. Today closest thing to laser-weapon is american ABL project, beam should be able to burn trough ballistic missile hull and make fuel explode. Against tanks with that - no chance. Maybe it would make ERA explode, that's all.
Since there already is laser general in game... ok... maybe some kind of satellite designator would do the job. Or some boxy vehicle with focusing crystal on short tube?
So you are mad because I expected something else and I have no idea what exactly I want. Ok, you are right, those things I described are not entirely original. But still, you made nice texture for howitzer and call it laser weapon.
Lots of blabla. Lets just forget this :)
We cooked up something new and this one is going to fire straight shots and now acts as heavy tank...but we already had a heavy tank..well this one is going to act now diffrently. Wait and you will see! :)
it seems this mod is closer to the sci fi end than the original game anyway
You could make it a Hypervelocity Kinetic Rod launcher. It uses a laser to 'paint' the target (which adds a pre-attack delay) then it charges up and fires. Like a gauss cannon on an MBT chassis?
Wow dude, i'm always impressed by your skinning skills.
Big thumb up for you!
one work (awesome) :D
How have you exactly achieved those "shaders"? I see some sort of bloom.
Thats a render. If you meant in game screenshots - then try to use ENB Series, google for it.
I read of ENB, I know how to use it BUT not how to choose it. Which "ENB Version" I should choose and use for Generals?
so is this ENB some sort of shader?? that can be used on Generals??
love it, the originality, the model, texture
It's just the barrel looks like a rail gun, but that Laser hazard danger sign near the breech does identify, nice touch
really awsome job :)
great work looks more like an m1a2 abrams but still good :)
