Description
Based off: Media.moddb.com
Intended for Horizon.
Special Thanks to Nightovizard
Work in progress, the final product could suffer changes, we are discussing about a bigger and large main weapon for it, so if you have suggestions feel free to post them in the comments.
Looks amazing!
I like it the way it is, but the rockets are it's main weapon, and the other thing is just a chin mounted mg to get rid of infantry, right? If yes keep it, maybe re-do the launcher part for bigger holes/rockets but less and a bit smaller box.
But that is everything I could say about it.
The problem is that we already have a new earth heavy tank, and the weapons it has are very different from this one, so it's kinda unbalanced. What canoworms is probably going to do is add a cannon gun, and let these rocket launchers be the ability. Not sure at all though.
if you have a heavy tank already, make this one a medium or light tank with dual machine cannons instead of the rockets and a rocket rack, chin mounted instead of the guns. give him a anti tank ability, and against light, medium and soft targets (air and ground alike) make him medium effective.
We have another WIP unit that is an IFV with similar characteristics to the ones you have mentioned: dual machine cannon and missile POD. When it comes to rockets the APC has a light artillery rockets POD/Rocket rack and a machinegun.
Plus this is an ''horizon faction'' heavy tank, the other heavy tank is from ''new earth faction'', and we are trying to balance these 2. We also have a buggy/jeep vehicle and we are discussing wether if to put a machinegun or a grenade launcher turret to it, or both. You'll probably see all these soon in a update.
nice, unit variation isn't bad, so why not keep it?
unit variation is good, thats why we are using tracks, wheels and mechanic legs. Instead of having 2 tanks with 1 Little difference, i prefer to have 1 tank and 1 wlalker for example, which is a whole different thing that fulfills the same role and in addition gives variation to the army. we already are using the tanks to make the antiaircraft vehicles, just changing the turrets, so we are keeping many different variations.
man, this mod seems to go foward pretty straight and fast. I really like that!
Main reason is that apart from canoworms, VVBB and me have started modelling, you can see some pretty early WIPs on my profile.
