Great for a support power, or an Allied spy plane.

Amazing work!

Although, you should resize it a bit. Far too large. :L

Maybe you've only seen them in Generals, but in reality, these things really aren't small, you know.

I've seen them before in real life, and I know they aren't larger than a tank.

I've seen UAVs that can actually be launched from Humvees (which I guess in that aspect is realistic in Generals). I was just saying, make it a tad bit smaller. At least a little smaller than the tank.

The size is fine. I like my drones big.

Well the ones on humvees are probably smaller different UAVs because Predators are about the size of the ones that Nyerguds showed. Bigger than a person. Though honestly, you can just resize it if you want it smaller.

if I'll make it smaller, you will see just a blue splat.

Not bad.

How does it look in the air btw.

I remember the lighting for ground and air being different i.e.

ExtraUnitLight=
ExtraInfantryLight=
ExtraAircraftLight=

The reaper and predator is identical other then the tail and the reaper is armed. Same size, same everything bar the tail (due to the backblast of the hellfire missiles damaging the predators tails that were armed)

When I think of a drone,I think of a small unit coming from a bigger unit/building that control it.

After checking definitions,it seems it just need to be remote-controlled,and could as well be mountain sized Confused

But still,I can't see a drone here,I see a plane.Maybe it's because of how drones are pictured in the war games i'm used to.

What is controlling it?

Predators, Reapers, Globalhawks and many others (from the size of paper planes upto Globalhawk size (which is around the size of an Orion) operate using a GPS uplink, thats how they know where they are and their destination etc is. They also receive orders/commands from the controling station back at base via satelite. Their not called UAV (Unmanned Ariel Vehicle) for no reason.

Some examples:

I think the size is good, just that the ra2 tanks are to small.
Voxel is really nice!

Eh, you seem to be under the mistaken impression that this is a "game unit". It isn't. It's an existing vehicle.

I did not realize they gotten that big, Im used to thinknig they are like RC planes. The police uses a similar model, just its small :/ How the hell can something as big as a pirvate jet stay stealth in the air? :3 either way, Ima make it as small as a hornet (instead of complaining about size and ask the creator to fix it, fix it yourself. not to difficult.)

edit:

Ever come across your old trash comments from nine years ago and cringe? I have been all day exploring this site.
