i have noticed lately that people are starting new forums just to answer one question , so intead of floodig, u could post your question here.

first of i would like to ask what exactly does the new mililita logo look like?

any new units for anybody could also be appreciated.

[Vanguard]

It's the one that 7.0 has, or is that the dragon like one with the globe, if it is tell me and I'll get a pic, anyway, here's a new unit I wont be posting in the news area, well for now atleast, it's the Laser Generals Proton Tank. It fires and extremely concentrated Proton Beam which actually will destroy tanks quite quickly, but with all that power you must also build power plants, since it requires 8 power just to keep one on. The massive explosion caused by the plasma bolt, causes some residual heat which melts the ground, and will damage units if they go into that area.

it melts the ground? i would love to see that. is the damage any good agianst buildings or infantry?

[Bob]

Now that sounds cool.

But, it also sounds kinda strange when you stop to think that the linear tank sounds like, and looks like, it could do the same thing. They're both similar heavy beam weapons. Are you planning to adjust that unit as well? Just a thought.

Perhaps the proton tank was designed only for vehicular threats and deals very little damage to buildings?

[Bismarck]

The tank is cool but it does not look hi-tech enough to actually do that what it does. And if it melts the ground with its beam then it should be super effective vs buildings.

but is it me or just missing any other new stuff but laser gen seems to be getting to most outof updates and
new stuff.

also if it melts da ground will it leave like ditch and how long would the 'burning affect last'

also VG what program do u use to make tanks and so, plz tell me what it is and if cost.

P.S i think those nets are to stop pigions.

[Bismarck]

Is this tank big or small cuz i cant really tell from the pic... If it is small then it needs a new or bigger model.

[Karlos Vandango]

as far to my knowadgle to the sage engine thats impossible to code

It doesn't leave a ditch, just melts the ground to form slag if you will. Also it's faster, and doesn't have a very good rage, the beam itself will kill infantry in one hit, and has a large blast radius. As for buildings, no, actually this was ment as anti vehicular, there should be some upgrades that change the look of it, but those will come later on, you actually have to upgrade it to the melting beam, which actually isn't a beam anymore. More of a bolt, which is fired, no arcing, when it detonates, it goes out with a bang, the regular weapon is very similar to the PAL System's laser, smaller, shorter range, but more damage. Karl, the cage on the back is for putting pickles in , WTF, how the hell do I know, I just added it for extra detail .

[Delta24US]

so basically a mini death star for vehicles and infantry....with a built in pickle holder

great stuff vg, keep em coming :thumbsup:

[Naplam in my Hand]

melts the ground AND holds pickles? good god, i wish i had one!!!!!!!!111

[Vanguard]

It actually had an ability, but I couldn't get the tail to look good enough without increasing the poly count by a lot more then I should, see originally the main barrel fired a normal laser, and the tail (part with a V on it) had a gun system, it would be similar to the Missile Defender's Laser Guided Missiles. Except this one would popup, bend around to face forward, and then fire two highly charged Proton Lasers which do what the main barrel does now. Also this tank can fit in a Chinook, the Particle Tank can't. Plus it's cheaper, which also means that if you want something that fires faster, less damage, more speed, cheaper, built faster, go with this.

YESSS!!!! I KNEW IT WAS FOR DESTROYING VEHICLES!!!!
Sorry about that.

Sooo, how many upgrades does it get? 1? 2? A pickle compartment?

[Naplam in my Hand]

yeah, i just haveone ast question for vangard. what software do u use for these models?

[sath]

if i may interject...
isn't it Photoshop CS2 you use Vanguard?

[Vanguard]

3ds Max 6 - to make the model - Price $3,000 USD
Gmax - to export it to w3d format that Generals uses - Free
Photoshop CS1 - to make textures - Came free with a package I bought
A custom made INI editor - built it myself.

Also it gets 1 upgrade for the weapon.
