Wouldn't the game engine have trouble with 8k polys models? Leaving this aside the model looks great =)

i would assume only if you have too many of them on the screen at once, being the rare tank that it is you probably won't see more than 1 of them per mission.

it's your own fault if you put too many in the editor :P

Pretty much this, SHTs will be rare, you'll see 2 at most if both players field at the same time.

I am also concerned about the system requirements. Have you guys made any tests? What class of a PC should one have in order to play this mod?

we aren't that far to tell what sort of requirements are needed. but expect them to be higher than what you need for MoW.

As a note, Shattered Lands has run tests using high poly models. These models were placed several hundred at a time with no negative side effects.

No idea if 8k would make that large of a difference.

Just 20 seconds of non stop fire? that's going to suck with the game's AI xD

At least you know its main gun will be gone when it stops firing

Yeah the AI will burn that fast on invisible pixels and overkill on a single small target hiding behind a solid obstacle. But it would be fun to watch.

That "solid" obstacle better be an adamantium deposit because anything else would buckle under 1.0 caliber HEAP rounds the size of an ogryn's fist.

Some blood pact guys and gear would fit well in this mod.

though not the blood pact, Renegades will be in the mod.
but with no texture artist and people experienced with getting human and vehicles models into the game it could still be awhile before we show anything of them.

Combat Tip: park up midway up a hill as an improvised AA gun.

it costs 8,000,000 to fire this weapon for 20 seconds.

You just sit it in the open with a mile long trail of ammo trucks parked up behind it

Description

The Macharius Vulcan's only difference from the standard Macharius tank is its main weapon. The Macharius Vulcan replaces the standard Twin-linked Battle Cannons of the Macharius with a Vulcan Mega Bolter, a weapon usually used only on Imperial Titans. The Vulcan Mega Bolter is an immense multi-barrelled rotary gun that fires Heavy Bolter shells at an incredible rate of fire. The use of such a rapid-firing weapon makes the Macharius Vulcan extremely deadly and effective when used against enemy infantry. Unfortunately, the tank is able to hold only enough ammunition to fire the weapon continuously for 20 seconds.
