Everything we thought we knew, everything we had been told about being alone, was all proven wrong in the blink of an eye. No one had seen them coming. No one was prepared.

Back again?
they where never gone!
M55a1 Sledgehammer Siege Tank
------------------------------
Dual 150mm main cannons, quad track pods, low profile, extremely heavy armor, high survivability. Built for one purpose and one purpose alone: blasting through heavy defenses and opposing vehicle columns in an apocalyptic scenario when the luxuries of airstrikes and orbital bombardment aren't on the options list, and the good guys are heavily outgunned and outmanned. The Sledgehammer is very expensive to produce, a pain to maintain, and would consume such copious amounts of fuel that it's instead powered by a MicroFusion reactor. However, offsetting these factors is its record of never being destroyed even in the humongous armor battles on Eridanus at the closing of the Interstellar War, making this armored behemoth a frightening sight on any battlefield. Crew of 5
How can anyone be outgunned while packing 150 millimetre twins?
Quite frankly, it looks like...well, nothing I've ever seen before, really.
Oh and awesome.
just read the news, this must be the signal. awesome looking pics, would like to go into detail but i would use the word awesome too much.
slow yet steady it comes.
argh this again
This is why it's not been archived yet. Or unarchived to be precise.
We don't intend to let it slip into complete idleness again any time soon.
Also please tell us what you think about this new tank.
The tank looks really awesome, but the environment... looks even more awesome! :D
I thought this mod was dead
And so did many others. But it's not.
looks like ground control 2
They are alive? THEY ARE ALIVE!
HELL YEAH! THOSE ARE REALLY GREAT NEWS!
Aren't those Helge's heavy tanks ?
Indeed they are. I shopped the AWSC logos out on the shot I showed and never mentioned Asylum or Signal to not ruin the surprise. I'm currently pretty much the main 3d- and texture artist on the team.
They're perfect, Helge. Hope this mod happens soon.
bigger cannons anyone?
No, they are good this size.
well from what i can see, the guns look like sticks when compared to the entire proportion of the body.... or maybe i just stare at the mammoth tank for too long during a single day that every time i see a mammoth tank like tank that has quad tracks and dual cannons i think of big guns...
1.bp.blogspot.com this is a 120mm cannon. The Sledgehammer is nearly twice as big as an Abrams, so go figure.
Now we just need some rocket pods on the side...
Har! Har! jk
still plasma beats 150mm's so yea humans will be outgunned
This tank has ablative armor...it can with stand plasma fire long enough to blow a hole in those alien tanks.
Looks amazing guys.
me likey
This mod is the reason a bought tw3 a couple of months ago
Looks very good. Believable. Other vehicles look good as well. There is, indeed, some similarity to Ground Control 2 in style, which is a good thing in my opinion (and it's rather minor anyway).
It's great to see this mod is still afloat, stay that way.
I took some inspiration on the Ravager terradyne while modeling this actually ;)
