While that jeep does look a little rough, I'd have to agree with Judgement on this one. They're certainly good enough to play with. At least Mithril's managed to get someone to make some models.

I'm still looking for some for my mod - Warlord Sponge and the Wheels of Steel. So far nothing. I've posted here, C&C Intel, Sleipnir's Stuff, and generalsfiles. Either most modellers are locked into mod teams, they have real-world issues to deal with, or they won't do work for a relatively unknown mod. The first two I can understand, but the last one sucks. I won't pass it off as my own or insist on exclusive use and I will give full credit where it's due.

Good luck to you Mithril, hope your mod goes well. Sorry for temporarily hijacking your topic with my whine :lol: . Could we have a screenshot or two with new tanks in it please (if you have any)?

Believe it or not Sponge. I can model and I am not working on anything besides my own stuff for my use. I can't skin or bone but I can model. I can send you some of my work for a refernce If you want.

Note: Brazil's unit list is still pending. There are 22 units planned, more than half of them are finished. More units are possibly to be added later.

Note: This units list is relative to balancing. The beta tests might suggest the addition of new units to specific factions.

Note: No data is given about how big transports are, that again is an area done by the beta testers.

A lot of those things are rips. The wheels on the advanced dozer look particularily off. The original T-55 and T-72 tanks look ok. But why does it say the T-72 is an "advanced" tank? The T-72 isn't even an advanced tank today much less twenty years from now :P

You're right on the "advanced tank", its not taking any reference from history, but it's rather a stronger tank than the t-55 because it must be built in a different building.

Oh i c. Well, I guess this sides strategy won't involve ltos of tanks since there tanks are rather (or should historically be) weaker than the others. May I suggsted saying heavy tank instead of advanced tank

Thanks for the tip.

This side's strategy will involve many new elements. The Algerians have been specifically designed for strategy, the AI will test various conditions of humans and reply in strategic manner. Tanks will still play a big role, the AML-90 for example is fast and effective, the T-55 is brilliant when used alone, because of the shockwave blast. There are many new air defences in the mod, so destroying anything quickly is not what you're going to be doing. Instead, you'll have to fight for position (algeria's special unit is excellent for that matter) and gather chokepoints.
Grenade throwers will probably be able to fire out of AML-60's, making it a deadly hit and run vehicle.
I can't say how strong the tanks will be, but there will certainly be a grade of respect to history.
(The original game, however, has the Paladin tank. The paladin is actually a self-propelled howitzer as far as I can remember.., and the mirage tank from ra2 or ra1 (not sure) is an airplane)


I won't say anything more specific because the balancing isn't done yet, but I can promise you a hard time when playing against Algeria as "Hard".
