[RA2/YR]Soviet Heavy Tank

ConMan · Posted: Fri May 29, 2009 8:35 pm Post subject: [RA2/YR]Soviet Heavy Tank

It's just too good for me to hold back!!!

It's for Lt's RA2:MV mod, hoepfully will be selected as the heavy tank for Russia, based on the t-80 and t-84

No barrels yet though...

You're certainly getting better since this is your best voxel yet. My only complaint is that the barrel on the back of the turret is placed too high - by only one or two layers but enough to seem awkward.

Thanks for that suggestion, I'll lower it by a few voxels in the later version Very Happy

To be honest, the turret's shape is ugly. However, the normals and detailing is good.

For that, I used the t84 as reference

I didn't get it exactly right, but that was the general shape

ztyping awful. Never do another voxel again. #Tongue

It's beautiful - I love the shape, Albrecht should be very proud.

Thank you very much for your comment Smile

FIY to everybody, the "streaks" on the turret are supposed to be ER (explosive-reactive) armor

Now in black scheme:

This is what I meant.

And it still doesn't change my opinion that it looks ugly. (ugly doesn't disqualify it from being a good voxel, however, do not get me wrong)

Yeah, ugly only really tells you that it's a Russian tank #Tongue

Why is the turret so damn tall?

Which one are you referring to? The first one, or the newer versions, lower at the topic?

Yes, I think those black lines are a bit screwy, but remember, it's still WIP Wink

Not the lines, the shape of the turret. And it isn't really a big deal, the tank design as a whole is fine.

It's just a tank, tank isn't supposed to be nice, it's supposed to be deadly and this one looks deadly enough...

To T-80 reference:

I get it as free inspiration (which doesn't mean bad thing),
Soviet/Russian tanks since T-64 use 6 travelling wheels (there are rumours T-95 will use 7, Koalition-SV has 7 wheels)

Soviet/Russian tanks since T-64 have "pan-shaped" turret unlike western tanks which are more heavy and better armoured (Warsaw Pact thought about using fast medium-armed ground army, supported by helicopters (like Mi-24)), in Red Alert is this doctrine used by Allieds while Soviets are using slow heavy ground force.

Anyways, this is almost spotlight quality voxel (normals and texture (details) can be better a bit). Wink

EDIT: 9.6/10

Yes, I've read in other topics and seen images of tanks and most of them have 6-7 wheels

I'll update the newer one and add an extra wheel, and make some small changes to the turret. Gun barrels will also be shrunk a tiny bit Wink
