i still say original looks better...

[OmegaBolt]

IMO, the Prism tank doesn't look that bad. It could be a little bigger and more high tech looking though, and you should remove the black lines imo.

[partyzanPaulZy]

Abrams will be US only (same as Commanche), Leclerc will be unit of French+Benelux subside.
Soviets have many tanks, but 4 are med variants (transforming).
New prism tank isn't CnP, but I don't know how would it look better. I took it as modernization + miniaturization.

Here's concept ("pasive cooler" added later)

[Gosho]

It makes sence. Just reamke the turret to fit in with the rest of the body, mmkay?

[partyzanPaulZy]

Sorry, Gosho, I missed your message.
Anyway, I have a new screenshot:

I've touched prism tank a bit, fixed leclerc (I hope) and replaced that small humvee with Bulldog transport (2 places inside). It's turret offset has been fixed after taking this screen.

I am thinking about removing battle fortress - Bulldog has firing places for infantry inside (elite one is cloaked), some country spec. tank* has crusher ability, BFRT is expensive and slow like a hell...


*Abrams(USA), Merkava (Israel/other-name-for-Jews-home-country-in-RA-universe ... in future version) or biped mech (Titan/Cyclop - Commonwealth forces). Crusher ability has also tank in mammoth slot - soviet country specific - Apocalypse versions, Iraqi devastator (otherwise it's weak against armor), Lybian spider mech. I can add this also to elite lasher tank (thirdside). Epic units has this ability, too.
Nighthawk is doubled (will be fixed), Paladin will be replaced with something like N-LOSC.

Much better voxel! Good stuff.

[EcclairLS]

now thats a prism tank..

[some_weirdGuy]

yeah, looks much better now

[partyzanPaulZy]

Thanks. Now I am working on new voxel for soviet Havoc Tank (former name was Quick Tank, will be soviet paratank, 3 light tanks in 1 paradrop from para SW, nothing overpowered).

[partyzanPaulZy]

Before I go to Ibiza for 3 months summer job (the flight is probably on weekend), I will show you some new units:

US Hector tank (big as Battle Fortress which isn't used any more):


A counterpart of Apocalypse which can crush crushable tanks or cars parking in the way (sorry Mr. Bean).
Two shooters can get inside to fire positions in top of Hector's turret, but Zone trooper or Brute for example cannot get in.
It's armed with armor-piercing cannon (not so powerful as fafnir's) and miniaturized Heat guns used on Mirage tank (both are weaker than 1 Mirage Heat Gun).
It is slow, but dangerous behemoth.

You can also see new Allied arty here (needs some turret offset issues fixed - via 2 sections of turret voxel, same as Bulldog Transport).

Almost final version (black dots) of the soviet Havoc light tank:

This tank is based upon real BMP series transports. When is built, Havoc is armed with 100 mm cannon, it's light armored. So it's weak against anti-armor weapons, but it's also fastest soviet tank which can carry two passangers.
When Havoc gets elite, 2 tesla cannons replace 100 mm cannon and also missile pod is mounted on a turret.

Latino Confederation got some new tank replacing Apocalypse (slot).
It's called Reaper tank from an obvious reason.


This anti-personal tank is Latino-American special. They armed it with twin quad cannon against soldiers and rockets in a magazine on it's back.
No matter Latinos haven't bought soviet Apocalypse production licence nor stolen plans. This medium tank is also dangerous. Take cover if you met it in a Jungle!
CREDITS:Reaper tank made by TX1138 (vxl + hva), the rest from this news has been made by me.

Nice voxels. I like the US Hector tank alot. Release it

[partyzanPaulZy]

Sorry, but it will take some time. 3 months I will be on Ibiza where I probably won't be able to do anything on mod, maybe some graphics.
Then I will fill all the voxels which aren't, then fix some other things. One of the last things before 1st release will be research logic -after research you are able to build something better, but previous not - Arty (no research), Mirage tank or Prism tank? Modernized Heavy tank (no research), APOC or TTNK? Country special tanks replaces others tanks in their slots. APOC slot will be replaced with Reaper for Iraqi for example.
Maybe October*?

*damit it's RA3 release date

[partyzanPaulZy]

Some concepts (some text is in Czech, some in English):

see Titan concept

HTNK can be built without upgrades, same as Allied howitzer, then it's replaced with TTNK or APOC. Those unnamed turrets are raser turret and soviet gattling.

[partyzanPaulZy]

Currently I am working on an IFV replacement (turret 1 is laser quad turret).
WIP render (needs texture and conversion to vxl) with turret in missile mode (advanced GI):



Modernized Mammoth Tank concept (you have to choose: no upg.-> modernized double barreled Heavy Tank, upg.1 ->Modernized Mammoth (concept), upg.2 ->Tesla Tank, upg.3 ->Apoc)
see down.

[OmegaBolt]

Gah, the concept is too square, it's basically the same shape as your Prism Tank. Also, if it's to have come from the Tesla Tank it should have something related to it... like tesla weapons or even slightly Ra1 Tesla Tank body. That would rock.

[Romanul]

omg,partyzan do you work with 3ds?

What do ya use?Would you like to talk on the messenger these days?I have some textures around an maybe...

[partyzanPaulZy]

Thanks, but I am too busy these days (2-months summer job on Ibiza is getting real).

I made it in Cinema 4D (as I do for 2 years). It's similar to LAV-150.


The concept ... well this one is just Mammoth Tank with some ERA packets and few touches.
And it's cut to body (sorry for bad width), turret and barrels.

inspiration:
Real T-72 M3CZ plan ( red parts have been added on old T-72, Czech Army use T-72 M4CZ version)

It's just concept, but basic shape of Mammoth won't be changed, maybe some parts.

Other concepts (Tesla Tank, Apoc, Heavy Tank, etc.) are on previous concept papers.
I hope I won't screw Tesla Tank like RA3 Hammer Tank.

NEW CONCEPTS
Perun (Balteg special) tesla class tank:

3 mammoth concepts (but I still think concept #1 fits best). Tell me which is best:

BTW, APOC is better against tanks but MAMMY is stronger against buildings and MAMMY will have strength:600. (will be)

Edited by partyzanPaulZy, 26 June 2008 - 11:12 AM.

[partyzanPaulZy]

PLS, tell me which concept is the best or give me some suggestions.

BTW, yesterday I was searching for some tank modernizations and found
these:
Croation:
M-95 Degman

modernized M-84D (built in former Yugoslavia)



the last one gave me inspiration to a blocky mammoth.
M-2001: Serbian modernization of M-84 (similar to T-90 as M-84 is just T-72 built in f. Yug.):

Edited by partyzanPaulZy, 25 June 2008 - 03:08 PM.

[some_weirdGuy]

why does the cannon and armour on the first one look sorta... fake?

[partyzanPaulZy]

If you mean M-95, it has NERA packs on a turret and it has composite armour, too (from Wikipedia).

And what about my modernized mammoth concepts, which looks the best?
