S0ny_B1ack Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 ...That said, the real world saw some very strange tank designs: http://www.the-blueprints.com/blueprints-depot-restricted/tanks/tanks-t/t_28_super_heavy_tank-33210.jpg http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/3277/batchat.jpg http://xmb.stuffucanuse.com/xmb/viewthread.php?action=attachment&tid=4693&pid=13557 http://daily-steampunk.com/steampunk-blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/P__1000_Ratte_Tank_Cutaway_by_VonBrrr.jpg What about the S-tank (it should even fit more or less in the timeframe of xenonauts) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stridsvagn_103 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That soviet one is a fake, though. It never existed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dix Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 True, though they did have a 5-turret heavy tank for a while: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-35_tank Britain had some multi-turreted designs for a while as well - they followed naval lines in tank design (destroyer, cruiser, etc) at one time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bovington_022_Independent_1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skvid Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I keep checking this boards multiple times a day, i wish they gave us a news update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 A new build announcement is unlikely to be posted before the build is ready to go. If you check back, there have been cases in the past when a new build was posted as about to be uploaded, or due to be uploaded on a certain date, then something gets in the way, it doesn't get uploaded and people start posting "where is it????". Once bitten, twice shy and all that. The last "news" was in the development board, Chris was considering releasing the first test batch of maps to those people interested in testing new maps.

Nemeo Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Chris stated that 17 would be the last build before a long while. That's why he wanted to fix it as much as he could so that we had something to play with in the meantime. We can expect a lot more features in the next build, but a lot more bugs as well. Still eager to test it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slocket Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Remaking an epic masterpiece game as this, really does take a lot of time. I will look forward to the complete game when it is finished as much as possible, since most remakes of this game have missed their marks and died a horrible death. -too many compromises and missing game play content.

djlogue Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 In hindsight I'm not sure what I was smoking when I put the T-80 in the design document. Probably some Cydoinian high grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrashMan Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I'd say there is quite difference between a drone and a tank Though original game's HWP did look like tank even though it was too small to be one. I have no clue what the heck it was.*shrugs*(yeah, its called tank, but come on, what kind of tank is that small? Then again, I guess.. Eh whatever) The Luchs?

Bly Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 It's the german Wiesel! It is so small that it fits into a medium transport helicopter (CH-53).[ATTACH=CONFIG]1851[/ATTACH] No! This is the "Luchs" a WW2 reconnaissance tank, built on the base of the light Panzerkampfwagen II. Your "Wiesel" is a modern light armored vehicle used in parachute and mountain-troop units of the Bundeswehr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I saw the wiesel.. delivered in the late 1980s... ...but I was really thinking about, the MLC- 3 delivered by a toy company for Empire strikes back in the very early 1980s.
