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.

And I thought tonight couldn't get any better...

I've seen the render, but seeing the unit in-game is a completely different experience.

The wings will fold when it lands? Anyway, I really will enjoy having 40 of these and stomping people.

Yeah. Looks very fine and its abilities are even finer, yet it doesn't easily come in dozens, and can't be feasibly made into mass production.

Does it have any shortcomings? How fast can other anti-air aircraft take it down?

the seismic bombs are useless against units and napalm is useless against struchtures. The Century bomber on the other can kill anything with it's bombs, and can drop paratroopers.

As for the wings, I don't think so. When it lands I THINK the engines rotate instead.

The engines rotate and the wings fold up carrier plane style.

Does the napalm bombs burn buildings too though? Or is it simply a uh burning sensation to soldiers on the ground?
Looks awesome you guys! :D

napalm is only effective against units, including vehicles. Seismic bombs aka earthquake bombs are what you use against struchtures.

So Do seismic bombs cause any damage or are they only EMP? Just trying to clarify :P
Edit: Nvm I just re-read the information. :)

Nice model! :)
Excerpt Barnes Wallis and the *earthquake* bomb
"the resulting shock wave would produce the equivalent of a miniature earthquake, destroying any nearby structures such as dams, railways, viaducts, etc."
"...the earthquake bomb had the ability to disrupt German industry while causing minimum civilian casualties. It was used to disable the V2 factory, bury the V3 guns,..."
Obviously there arent railways etc to destroy ingame just bridges/structures but for the game's sake, IMO the napalm should def burn up infantry, cause light dmg to vehs and the seismic bombs heavily dmg structures & cause some dmg to units in the direct vicinity of impact.

Infantry do get burned by the napalm bombs (vehicles too, but not as much), but you 80% of the time wouldn't use the Skyfortress to take out specific groups of infantry, you'd use them to block areas off.
Seismic bombs work exactly how you described them. After all, having a giant hunk of metal dropped on you from a high altitude would be painful indeed.

I would think a large bomber like that would need a conventional airfield to land? does it use the normal confederate one or something different like some kind of bomber command?

It is capable of VTOL operations thanks to it's pitching engines. It's Red Alert, just roll with it.

Description

The Confederate's heavy bombing craft, the Skyfortress has two modes, selectable on the landing pad. The sesmic bombs damage and shut down structures, allowing you to render a whole base essentially useless with a single run. The anti-unit Firebombs stick to an area and burn for a long while, allowing you to use the run to cut off your enemy's retreat or deny them ground for a time.
