The year is 2055, more than thirty years after the events of Zero Hour, Earth suffers a catastrophic collision with meteorites. The world is thrown into turmoil as large swathes of land are annihilated. Four factions, the ADF (Asian Democratic Federation), WEA (West European Alliance), WLF (World Liberation Front), and AC (American Confederacy) are at war for control of the remaining already harder to find resources as well as the preservation of their nations and geopolitical interests. Welcome to Deep Impact.
This is the UAN’s most basic tank. It differs from most main battle tanks in that it has a unique weapon system. It is equipped with a modified tank cannon that fires burning, balls of sulphur at it's enemies. These fireballs are far more effective vs. infantry and also do increased damage to structures. The main downside of these fireballs is that they are largely ineffective vs. tank armour. For this reason the UAN have made it possible to garrison an infantry soldier inside to aid the tank in battle. This allows them, for an extra cost, to transport their infantry quickly around the battlefield in complete safety, while still allowing the infantry to fire out. They remain safe unless the fuel tank on the back of the scorcher was ruptured by say a tank shell, instantly frying the doomed infantry inside the remains of the tank. Rumours of the Scorcher having a secondary ability are at the present time, unfounded.
how many infantry?
It can garrison 1 soldier inside.

By its texture it dont look like it would had a inf inside, there are no windows. And the fire balls makes too much large explosion.
Volen, please do not comment on the things people cannot see now you are no longer part of the team.. thanks :)
Ill talk to Pav3d about the first part.
Mike
And who will stop me?
Do not try me.
Don't even think about it...

Hey hey hey, chill you two...
We are now calm.
There were some internal issues before that have now been resolved :)
Mike
Enters throught the caps at the back, fires through the (currently closed) parts in the front, simple :P
it is very good mod please horry up
The tank looks tiny...
It is quite small. The Scorcher is the smallest MBT in the game.

How about the armor and firepower???
Firepower is at a light-medium level. But it has the advantage of napalm shells. Armor is again light-medium. It's not your every-day bad-*** mbt, but it will do it's job, until the heavy cavalery arrives :) .
So lemme guess, it'll be strong against infantries, and (not so) weak against other MBT's???
You will have to wait and see ;)
Mike
"Secondary ability"...
Hmm, let's see, smoke grenade launcher???
Those 6 pipes above the turret...
This model has been completely re-made, so expect changes. Same basic abilities however
Ooh, i see...
So really if a tank shell hits the fuel things in the back will the infantry inside be fried?that would be really cool
Pretty much. In-game the fuel tank is ruptured whenever the scorcher is destoryed. This fries the infantry inside the tank.

Sounds really nice...
A fried soldier maybe tastes good...
