The year is 2055, more than thirty years after the events of Zero Hour, Earth suffers a catastrophic collision with meteorites. The world is thrown into turmoil as large swathes of land are annihilated. Four factions, the ADF (Asian Democratic Federation), WEA (West European Alliance), WLF (World Liberation Front), and AC (American Confederacy) are at war for control of the remaining already harder to find resources as well as the preservation of their nations and geopolitical interests. Welcome to Deep Impact.
The Vortex Bomber was one of the most oddly designed planes ever manufactured by the Western European Alliance, considering how the lead designer fell asleep at his desk, and at the last minute, took the design concept straight out of the last film that he watched. Ironically, the design of the plane became something of a feat of engineering, and the bodywork was often being complimented on being 'too nice to fly into a warzone'. In early testing phases, the novel design caused several problems, notably, the engineers were unable to find a way in which to increase the manoeuvrability of the plane without the tail fins snapping off in mid air, which resulted in the horrific death of two test pilots early into the testing programme. The perseverance paid off, however, as the bomber swiftly came to be seen as a life saving weapon in future engagements. Due to the body shape of the Vortex, it has proven capable of carrying immense payloads under the most extreme of conditions. Specifically, the temperamental vortex technology, developed in secret by the WEA, can be stored in the body of the plane, due to the complementary shape of the plane and the vortex containment fields. Should the Vortex bomber get in range of an enemy's units, it will annihilate them with the powerful vortex weaponry, as the stability of the vortex bomb swiftly breaks down and implodes upon itself. This implosion also emits an ElectroMagnetic Pulse (or EMP) which disables all but the most basic of weapons in the area, allowing them to be picked off with ease. Unfortunately, it is not always possible for the Vortex to get in range of its targets, due to its body being made of a lightweight form of carbon fibre polymer. If the Vortex bomber does drop it's payload, it should return to its home airfield relitavely unscathed, as the EMP effect renders the anti-air units in the vicinity completely useless.
holy crap :O... that looks so awesome !!
I agree with you!
QFT!
Lol another great description, as usual.
The model itself is an interesting concept and it looks Awesome! as said above.
Cheers, you get bonus points, or cookies (whichever interests you more) if you can guess as to what film this jet took some design aspects from. Pointer: it wasn't particularly good, but was highly anticipated :P
ahhh... my god, i KNOW what movie it is, i just cant remember the name.
if it "wasn't particularly good, but was highly anticipated" imm gonna go with mega shark vs. giant octopus X3
Hehe, not anywhere near. Next clue: Released in 2005, one of the biggest box office disasters of all time.
damm Maybe I know can we have the first and last letter of it :P?
Not gonna happen, but it starred Jessica Biel in it - 30 seconds on Wikipedia should now give you the answer.
let me guess, STEALTH?
yes i think :)
ITS A NEW VERSION OF E.D.I. :D
Uhh.. Stealth??? That was a crappy movie.. and the plane looks kinda like it
Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner.
Yep the concept of the plane came from the movie Stealth, based on the plane.
- Sam
Mhm, design elements came from Stealth, specifically from the AI-controlled plane. And for the record, it was totally utterly rubbish :P
HOLY ****!! This is why i love this mod and why i voted for EC - MOD !!
Your models are just cool ! Love this one too . And the new MASS kiks ***!
But : these all seem to be lategame WEA units . Will you show some early game units soon ? cant wait
We already did. You have renders of the Taurus MBT, Banshee, Sentinel AA, Starchild Fighter and Viper light gunship. This 5 are all early game units. In fact atm you guys have almost the entire vehicle and air army of WEA in reneders.
haha UCAV EDI (or Extreme Deep Invader) anyone?? xD
Beautiful bomber, looks more like a UCAV XD
Obviously, the lead designer has crappy tastes for movies. Stealth fails even more than realism. =D
do you wanna say this airplane looks crappy ?
I'm saying the movie sucks. Read properly man. Sorry decnal >_<
That is your opinion. I don't think stealth was worse than aloot of bulshit movies Shitywood creates daily and become box offices ( stares at latest 2012 movie for example ). At least the plane designes ( especialy the f137 talon i belive it was ) were awsome imo. But in the end it's all a matter of taste. We like the plane designs, you don't. It's impossible to please everyone :P .
Yeah. I ROLFMAOed so hard at the part of the movie where the black guy crashes his plane into the canyon wall XD
i liked the stealth film it was pretty good tbh
O_o Wow.
About that movie Stealth, Kim Jong had a GOOD reason to use his nukes, as well as Russia to use their Tremor AGAS (ROTR) lol.
Beautiful texture on this one, the black really suits it. The model, although unorthodox, is pretty good too and I look forward to actually commanding this thing
honestly, stealth could have been better, but it was still a good movie
like the textures :)
Beautiful plane, and considering when EC takes place and the lead designer having taking the design from 'Stealth', it seems that guy is a fan of classics ^^
its nice
