UEF T3 bomber MK II image - Revamp Expansion Mod (RVE) for Supreme Commander 2

I thought the same thing initially with the paint job. The center fuselage design looks solid, but how might the wings look straight instead of curved?

And I meant to include "leading edge" of the wing as seen from the top view, NOT the curve of the wing itself as seen from the front and side view. Again, I really like the aircraft for the most part. Great job!

now that you mentioned it......

Well with the 3D printing that is used in SupCom, it makes it easy to manufacture something that looks expensive by todays standards but really isn't.

Do you have any idea of what some scientists are working on today in real life??
Much progress has already gone into 3D printing. Not long ago (couple of weeks ago) a 3D printer was made that could use 160 different materials, and also a single material one with a price tag at less than a thousand dollars.
In some 10 to 20 years you will only need 3 things to make anything... we know them very well now don't we ;)

yeeeeah. planes should fly faster than they do. this is very far into the future, these are robots, which means no real danger in g force. i think an upgrade to speed, agility, maneuvering, and armaments should be availible in the research.

i think every unit should die in a different way each time. ragdoll physics. planes should hit the ground and skid and roll and flip. i also think that units shouldnt lose their color when they die. i recently played a skirmish and noticed that all the c rexs died in the same position. on the monkeylord, the same leg would always fly off.

in grass areas, the grass around the unit should catch on fire. marks that weapons leave shouldnt fade, nor should the wreckage of other units.

i think ragdoll physics should still affect units even after they are dead. id love to see a king kriptor trudge through a few battles worth of dead units.

i think that in a real battle, tiny units wouldnt be able to just walk through a dead colossus. an engineer should have to clean it up or a bigger experimental plow a way through it. maybe even have artillery hit it and blow it to peices.

also, id like it if real visual damage could be applied to supcom. i loved seeing heirarchy walkers wiring and sparks after you take an arm or hardpoint off.

just make it so you can tell the difference from a bran new unit and a 3/4 dead one. not just smoke.

Ragdoll physics cannot be added from us completely, since it needs some changes to the game's graphic's engine itself...A death animation could be modeled, to match reality, but ragdoll physics that you said, can be applied only with changes to the engine....because it needs changes into the terrain, the game's engine code, and the models themselves...

but I repeat, a new death animation CAN be modeled, but I'm not sure if it will... ;)

oh and as for the dead units staying there, I couldn't agree more with you, but doing so, will not allow players with low-end PC's to enjoy the game...

also, take the health bars off units. every time i look at a health bar i think whats that ugly line doing there?

id like it more if you could simply add visual damage but if not, make the health bar look better. it looks so plain.

by visual damage, in actual life, you wouldnt be able to see a health bar. you might see bullet holes, melted metal, laser scrapes, electrical fires, explosion marks, a missing arm...hmmmm makes me think of the idea to target parts of experimentals. the fastest way to take down a monkeylord would be take out enough legs to immobilize it or just destroy the laser. fastest way to take out a colossus would probably be the head and then a leg. take out the boosters to a mega fortress or the head to the kraken. speaking of kraken, wheres our revamped kraken?

agreed , i dont like the original kraken , its useless

I was into making a new version of the Kraken, but I stopped working on it, loooong time ago :P

awwww...you should try it again.

then make it a setting. a setting you can change only before a game.the units staying there i mean. and what about the color?

yes, i meant a death animation for aircraft so they crash in a curve into the ground, with some crash damage maybe.
it just looks odd that aircraft just drop out of the air when destroyed, i mean they are moving on max speed and have momentum which doesn just vanish in the moment of destruction

eiiih i wouldnt have asked if damage was visible WITHOUT health bars. need visual damage. much more realistic. also, you said all the units are actually robots right? if so, why do some units have a breathing animation? a lot of cybran units do.

i love the animation of the monkeylord for example
it maybe isnt very logical but i really like it

noy really since were so far into the future. they would have to be the size of wind turbines.
