Crusader II (Heavy Crusader)

I just whipped this up in an hour or so, it turned out pretty good IMO.

I might need to reskin the top of the TOW missile though

oh yeah, everything but the barrel and skin (obviously) is 100% from scratch

Looking cool. You should post a small pic of the original crusader for comparison.

I couldn't get a screen on the same map, because for testing purposes I replaced the crusader (less effort than creating a whole new unit)

They're in different lights, so the regular crusader looks darker, but they use the same skin so they look no different color wise next to each other. Also, the Heavy Crusader is slightly larger.

Looks good. I love commenting on things multiple times.

looks good
is it for a mod or are you going ti put it up for download

probably up for download, but I might make a mini mod for my brother and I to play on our LAN, like reenable the tank general and give this to him or something.

Uum... adding TOW missle to this bad boy seems like a good idea

Let see now...You should make it have a different firing fx, some new sounds (i donno if EA removed any of them for Crusader)

If ya is implementing it into a mod, consider a one-time upgrade at WarFactory for a hefty price, $5000 for example (preventing peeps abuse it to rush their foes). Make its firepower a bit stronger than Paladins but even after the upgrade purchase, each AvCrusader will be more expensive, around 1300-1400 each, this will let the Palies retaining their usefulness (against Scorps/Stinger sites, etc.)

Can you plez release a small mod like that plez? Or make a patch for ProGen (for Tank Gen like you said) at least. Thanks

Why not boost its armor up significantly?

Oh, and while you're on the subject, why not give the Battlemaster a more modern look (like the Type 90) and a machine gun?
