    A human is a human, but just like tanks, we have different breeds.

    What breeds of tank do you want that isn't just the base line main battle tank?

    Ghetto gunhips I will never forget you <3

    On the topic of gunships, I think the gunship is joint coolest looking unit (excluding commander) with the boom bot. Oh and combat fabbers are interesting looking and remind me of weird modern day horse/big dog robots. I would like to see more, more interesting looking units in the game. More crazy **** like crawly spider bots or bots with jet packs or hover tanks or jet-skis. Having more weird looking robots could be a nice contrast to the "standard" tanks, planes and boats, as long as they still keep a similar aesthetic style.

    Or just be spot on, not to mention absolutely **fabulous** in what you do:

    Either one works.

    but you're right, this is blatant plagiarism.

    To the rightful owner's one's work, I'm giving you back your book for you to be able to post it everywhere and get all the credit for it :

    It looks just as much like a tank as the PA one does.

    It's even got holes where tank tracks are usually found, for easy recognition.

    We will not have this quality, PA here is supposed to be more cartoon, simplicity and basic units ...

    There is where you are rong!

    PA is supposed to be one of secessor Total anhilation and Supreeme Commander toghether.

    Totan anhilation boarn.
    Supreeme commander was the successor to Total anhilation.
    Forged Aliance was the sucessor off Supreeme Commander and has stop here.

    Planet anhilation is (or should be) the Successor Total anhilation and Supreeme Commander toghether , was the own uber said that at the beginning of the production PA the Successor Total anhilation!

    PA got (almost) nothing compare to TA

    What happend is that they decide to make a completely different game, which for me and the entire community Supreeme commander was and is a huge mistake.

    Why?
    Because we must respect the story of an amazing and unique RTS (TA SCFA)

    You see this happen in Diablo or Starcraft or command and conquer or Company off heroes or any other that respect the sequels to keep fans happy and buy the games?

    Ok something weird went on with the quotes there, sorry. I'm sure you're all smart enough to work out who said what.

    ...happens whenever you try to edit out subquotes and remove the wrong header or just forget one endquote, it then scrambles everything and trying to fix it you'll get this result.
    another mystery solved.

    And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!

    Derp. Sorry. The thing I quoted as Kalherine is me, and the bit I quoted as Geers was Kalherine. Geers did not in fact appear at all in my list of citations. Sorry Geers. Nothing personal.

    Anyway, to avoid derailing this thread any further: unit models? Discuss.

    The vanguard is quite different to any vehicle I've ever seen. It's the ugliest unit in the game, but it's different :rolleyes:
    I disagree here. The current gunship looks good, but is pretty standard for helicopter inspired gunships. Heck, it even has a windshield design on the front for no apparent reason.
    I was kinda hoping to see something like a quadrucopter-like design or some other unconventional setup.
    It's 2019 already?

    That's what it hides all of its sensors behind! Quadrocopters could feel similar to the swarm-like has-many-legs-or-flyey-bits boom bots... boom bots of the skies? Yes please. To me it makes sense that the more crazy units look crazier, and the standard tanks and gunships look like easily recognisable/familier tanks and gunships.

    I don't know, the gunship design is pretty great looking; I believe it's the most detailed model in the game too...
