Anti-Aircraft tank
Subject description: Ingames
Well, here's the second model I've made from scratch. It was actually almost done at the time i posted my Predator tank, but I've been busy working on other models, and my studies have required alot of work, so I never got the time to put it ingame until now.
I personally think it turned out ok... Maybe not as good as the model I'm working on at the moment, and It looks maybe a little too much like the Predator. I may change this later (depending on the feedback from you guys), but then again, they are both GDI tanks..
Anyway, I'd like some feedback on this one... Is there anything that should be changed/fixed? (Please keep it constructive). What do you think about it?
A little off topic: I remade the normal map for the Predator. The Predator can be seen on some of the pics, but the difference may not be noticable.
I haven't really found a good name for the AA-tank, so any suggestions are more than welcome. I was thinking something in the direction of Tornado or Hurricane, but I haven't decided yet.
I really like it (I was a thinking about adding somethin similiar, but based on the tunguska or gepard tanks).
You could add a small AA missile launcher for slow and heavy armored targets like scrin airships _________________

Shrinking the size of the turret of the Predator can be considered, however shrinking the turret on the AA-tank would make the barrels too small to reflect their intended power. Shrinking only the turret would make the barrels too large for their slots in the turret. Making the entire tank bigger before shrinking the turret, would make the tank too big (It's meant to be smaller and lighter than the Predator)... So I'm probably not going to do anything about it.
Regarding the idea of adding missile launchers for use against heavy aircraft, I will think about it. However I'm not sure if I could find a suitable place to fit them without making it look akward. And with both the Mammoth and Predator tanks already armed with missile launchers, it could possibly be a little too much...
Anyway, I apprecaite the feedback, please keep it coming.
By the way: I've done some minor changes to the texture; Increased the contrast, and darkened it a little, in order to make it fit the GDI-theme better. I may upload some pics later. QUICK_EDIT
