Just like Kane's Vision, this mod aims to perfect the gameplay experience of Kane's Wrath. With countless new faction unique upgrades and units, this is a comprehensive overhaul of this already great game. Every change that was introduced in this mod was with quality gameplay in mind and do justice to the lore of the factions. Furthermoe, One Vision is keen on maintaining the game's high visual level and improve upon it wherever possible.
In version 0.85 the Grey Wolf gets replaced with the Thunderhead for the Steel Talons faction. The Thunderhead serves as the Steel Talons unique T4 unit and requires the "Weaponized Firestorm" upgarde before it can be built.
Despite being even heavier than a Mammoth Tank its hover engines allow for unmatched speed for a heavy tank and its Firestorm Cannon allows for an even greater damage output than railguns.
Because it is still a prototype unit, this unit suffers from high cost (3000$) and a long deployment time (40s). The overall design is a heavily modified version of the Mammoth whose primary goal is eliminating high-tier threats in a short amount of time.
However, while it is just as durable as Mammoth tanks Thunderheads are not recommended to be used as frontline shields, as due to the much higher costs and the lack of Adaptive Armor.
Looks good, but may be you should leave Wolf as well ? Pretty like the idea of supporting units with buff auras, especially for ST that are supposed to crush enemy with heavy vehicle blobs, and Grey Wolf fits excellent for it.
Actually I wanted to get rid of the Grey Wolf for a longer time now. As the quality of the mod steadily increased, I wasn't quite satisfied with the Grey Wolf's model anymore. It just looked bland in comparison.
In fact, it was one of the first units I added to the game, back when I had no clear concept of the factions in mind. Also, ST late-game already is one of the strongest in the game, so I wasn't sure about buffing it even further with a passive.
Still, you might be right about the "crushing" part and a supportive unit would be nice indeed. For now, I just want to get more feedback on the Thunderhead, I think it is a very fun unit to play with as well :)
