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.

Smaller or bigger?
Bigger. +50% on the Assault Destroyer bigger.
*thinking on the result with an Atlas MASS Tank*
I hope its bigger.
Lol it does look better, but it's funny how nearly nobody notices the difference
because the perspective makes it look smaller.
Finally, the scale starts to make some kind of sense!
nice
The question is, will it fit through the naval yard? I am guessing you guys will also have to upscale the naval yard just a bit?
The aircraft carrier looks size appropriate, which is great considering it should have been bigger in vanilla RA3. The destroyer seems huge and it almost seems like that single gun doesn't match the size. I realize the Destroyer acts more as a damage sponge for the Allies but the fact that the gun is bigger than the stand that attaches it to the ship makes it look like the first time it fires the cannon will snap off backwards. Not to mention the stand doesn't look very sturdy.
Almost done! The riptides look a bit small compared to the Peacekeepers. This considering they have to carry five of them in that thing. That might be influenced by perspective though.
if the destroyers cannon was any smaller, it would look retarded, like a brick with a machine-gun. Except damage sponge it's also meant as a weapon platform for the before mentioned gun...
I didn't say make the gun smaller. I'd rather see the weapon enlarged a bit and put on a traditional turret and not some freaky modern version of a Swivel Gun. Size isn't as important since damage sponge units usually don't have devastating weapons to match their armor.
The PK's look bigger because of the overhead perspective of them, yeah.
Ah okay, thanks for the answer. I kept trying to figure out how the inside of the riptide would look to have to fit all those soldiers and the crew...
I can def tell the Destroyer is larger, it loox abit more sized to the Aircraft Carrier, which I always thought looked a tad small. I'm guessing the Destroyer's new size doesnt hinder it navigating under bridges ?
If you're so concerned with the look of the gun remodel it after an existing one.

I like that one. Would look a lot better than the current gun. It just looks like the Allies designed the destroyer and forgot they needed to put a gun on and decided "Crap. Okay find a cannon and we'll put some stilts to attach it to the front. What could go wrong?"
I may be a minority, but I like how the Assault Destroyer gun looks: it has a kind of weirdness to it that fits the Allies.
Also, the proportions to the Destroyer reinforce the fact that its durability is high for its offensive ability.
