MML Tank image - Republic Assault: The Clone Wars mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
Republic Assault is a full scale conversion mod for the Petroglyphy game Star Wars Forces of Corruption. Using elements from both the current canon, and existing EU to create the best possible game experience.
The MML, or mobile missile launcher, is the Republic's anti-aircraft vehicle. It's equipped with one top mount missile launcher to deal devastating damage to enemy aircraft and other unshielded tanks.
The MML also is equipped with the tried and true air and fan based hover technology, as opposed to using repulsor lifts that created subnuclear "knots" of space-time. This also means, buildings like the the gravity generator from vanilla FoC won't affect it.

good idea.
Lel, this is a mass effect vehicle.
It is, it's a Hammerhead tank from ME2. And yes, he is aware.
Indeed it is. I've been looking for a decent AA vehicle for awhile, and when I saw the Hammerhead during my playthrough of ME2, I knew it was perfect.
An interesting choice to say the least, although considering that this mod stretches out into the reign of the Galactic Empire, this does not strike me as a likely predecessor to the AT-AA that the Empire began deploying shortly after its formation.
Admittedly there isn't much to work with (unless the Heavy Anti-Air Tank from Galactic Battlegrounds: Clone Campaigns is considered a worthwhile reference) so while I disagree with the current model choice I think it is brilliant that you guys are coming up with new ideas.
There's not a whole lot to work with in terms of possible models, so that greatly limited the assets I could use.
I also wouldn't exactly call this the AA predecessor, and more of the Republic's take on AA units. I did this, mainly because I'm not a fan of the AT line using walker legs. Just purely based off the fact, they can so easily be tripped up, caked up with mud, or just have a hard time traversing water of steep land.
this is going to operate like a gunship, correct?
I assume you're asking if it behaves like vanilla Lancets or Snow Speeders, and to that. No it won't.
The MML will behave and move like any other hovertank. Except the MML isn't affected by gravity generators.
