An expansion/overhaul mod of epic proportions, with entirely rebalanced gameplay, expanded factions, new gametypes, graphical overhauls, and five new factions; stealth-based Confederate Revolutionaries, tower defense-inspired Atomic Kingdom of China, economy-focused Mediterranean Syndicate, DotA-esque Order of the Talon and spammy Electrical Protectorate.
Don't let the name fool you. The Peacock Tank Destroyer is ARVN's supreme armour killer. Each of it's guns hit with the force of a regular tank cannon, but it can fire them off in extremely rapid succession, allowing it to easily blow apart enemy tanks before they can retailiate. Furthermore, the tank is fairly nimble, allowing themselves to get into position to deal massive damage. Unfortunately, the reload cycle is extremely long and it's armour is fairly thin; if it's caught reloading, the Peacock will be easily destroyed. Be sure to keep it topped off by using it's reload ability, which hastens the reloading process and can be done at any time.
Oh wow, I'm the first for once?
It's very nice! Reload ability sounds interesting, means you can make them more effective by micro-managing them right?
hehehe. not rally first mantonio.
r3ven showed it of on a cast i noticed today. i wasn't there live, but still.
They shall fear the Peacock!
True... Mammoth killers...
would be nice if they did vids showcasing the units in action but still great tank (no tank zone)
Based upon US Ontos Tank I assume?
Yes, yes it is.

This is basically the micromanagement unit. Your effectiveness with them will depend entirely on how often you click their respective buttons.
I believe the reload ability disables the tank for awhile it reloads, so its more of a tactical decision.
Disabling when under fire likely means its destruction.
Not sure i get the reload, you select the unit and have to click in the box like a "special ability" to reload it ?
Being it has less armor and has to reload, based on the Ontos apparently one thing to its advantage then should be that it is rather fast on the move, because of its lighter weight, they even say this was part of its advantage over regular tanks. It was also able to be air-lifted! It would be cool if you could also have this unit in the carpet bomber as deployable w/ parachute like the paratroopers!
Maybe 1 or 2 tanks per plane as a sidebar weapon :p
Reload will be it's secondary ability.
The Peacock is a bound to the ground, but the Stewart tank we showed off earlier can be airlifted by helicopter.
awesome tank
I like it, nice work there :)
That'll teach them Soviet Supported Vietcong a lesson in true tank destroying
Is the idea in fighting this tank to have your tanks run away from it while Infantry protect them?
Anyway, nice work on the model and texture.
cool
AAAAAAAAAAAWEEEEESOME! Fantastic model and skin.
