T-92 "Molot" Heavy Battle Tank
Subject description: The actual hammer tank
Based on one of the Soviet experimental main battle tanks during the 80s, Object 477, specifically the finalized version with 152mm gun and without turret armor. I took the liberty to alter the turret and expand its engine, making it suitable either as a heavy tank or an advanced battle tank.
Note that I based its scale on shin.peter.pan's T-80U and ZTZ-99 so it is actually a bit out-of-scale with my PT-100M and Type 90 - about 11% too large.

The actual voxel has fewer decals.

The engine is greatly enlarged from the T-80U's 1250HP to something more like 1750HP.

Description:
It is hard to see, but the tank does have additional APS on both its hull and turret sides, likely a variation of Arena hard-kill APS.
Interesting design but I think the armor plate has too much detailing with the black and logos.
I think a simpler soviet scheme with remap would make it fit in better with vanilla units, resizing can be left to modders. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Thanks for the feedback. I think I will make 2 versions of any future voxels that may have an excessive amount of black and remap.
That being said, I never intended for any of my voxels to fit in with vanilla units. It's a shame, but I very much prefer other modders' voxels to the Westwood ones.
By the way, I made a version with lessened black-and-remap armor. It is still incomplete though, and I would like some feedbacks and suggestions.

Note that this is still a work in progress and will not be released in a while.
The general design doesn't look to proportion for the real thing, but it's still a decent design on its own.
All Allied says the remap is excessive and the feature drawings are unnecessary fluff... like why does the red box on the front contain a black box? Makes no sense.
Also consider using other palette ranges to create some separation, I guarantee many of the details will end up as noise if someone shrinks it, which is to be fair is necessary with the size you made it. _________________ http://www.moddb.com/mods/scorched-earth-ra2-mod-with-smart-ai QUICK_EDIT
the mesh is so dense that the unit renders as a blob ingame and the size of the unit is almost
three cells; in other words, it looks like the game asset wasnt even made for this game engine. _________________ visit my moddb profile for .shp downloads and stuff QUICK_EDIT
Beside the artistic choices like 7-voxel tracks, reinforced roof armor adding to the height of both the hull and turret, and the much bigger engine, I would say the only proportion I screwed was the turret ring width, which may also have an impact on the hull width.
I have not finalized it yet, so it will a while before I release an updated version. The turret will mostly be identical to the WIP version, though the hull front ERA will stay black-remap since beside adapting broader color range, I find the contrast of the WIP version to be really poor. For the ever-problematic side armor, I have yet to decided.

What can I say, I like 'em big and thick. QUICK_EDIT
This is just sick.
I love the detail on the first tank and the size is perfect because its bigger than the troops, the way tanks should be.
Why westwood choose to have humans taller than cars and tanks is beyond me.
And it can't because of game technology because Sudden Strike came out in the same year and every other version got the exact details right when it came to scale.
Even the buildings and their doorways were porportion correctly to the soldiers.
All the C&C games should have been made that way taking in correct scale. QUICK_EDIT
