USA Aeolus Super Tank

The Air-Force general needed a super unit, one that would use his unique fan technology and improve upon it significantly. And so the Aeolus super tank was created to fill this role.

Posted Image

Sporting two absolutely massive airplane turbines scrapped from jumbo jets, the Aeolus uses their combined thrust to propel enemy units skyward further than ever before. The winds produced by the turbines can even reach hurricane-level forces, tearing down buildings and base defenses in its way.

Special Ability:
The unique feature of the Aeolus is its Hurricane mode. In this mode, the Aeolus creates a 180 degree "wall" of wind in front of it, which pushes away enemy units, and still can damage structures and base defenses. It can even prevent enemy units from moving into attack range of the Aeolus. A new strategy might be to lay down a wall of wind, and then have artillery units attack safely from behind the wall.

As with all super units, the Aeolus costs $3000 and requires a Strategy Center to be constructed.

Credit goes to Camille for his original Hivestorm MLRS model, which was used as the chassis for the Aeolus.

This is actually a re-make of the Aeolus supertank I posted a while back, but never officially released. You can see a render of the original model below:

Hmm, it does actually remind me of a tank that had 2 turbines as weapon in a rather old XBox game... Looks...windsome :D

Boredom + M1A1 Abrams Tank + Aeolus Tank = ???

The Answer:

I got bored, and thought that those turbines on the Aeolos might look good as a Podracer. :P So, I got to work and made one out of it. Not sure if I'll have a use for it though. :D

Here's a screenshot of an Aeolus sending a Nukerlord over a few Crop Dusters:

It's a bit more effective than the Tornado Tank or Fan Truck. I'm still working on the Hurricane Wall ability, right now it looks like it is creating a wall of toxic smoke.

Does the Podracer tank blow stuff away as well?

If not, I would suggest giving it a 'sonic-boom' sort of attack. It charges at the enemy and the force of it damages them.

The podracer doesnt exist, but is just existing because of boreddom. It might grow out into an unit. I dont think that it should launch units. Rather, I'd like him to be able to go flying for 1 minute

Can you give us a specific detail on what kind would the "wall of wind" look like? I am particularly interested in weapons using natural disasters, right now. Oh and I absolutely love the work. :confused:

Oh my god! The podracer is amazing!

If you're not going to use, please realese it! I can imagine myself having a lot of fun, making a pod-race :read:

After viewing the Hurricane mode, I was actually reminded of the podracers from Star Wars. Good stuff though Jordan. Another quality crazy mod unit, as if anything else could be expected.

^ this and then some.

At the Aeolus can you code it so that it sucks any infantry units behind it in, killing them instantly? That sounds pretty crazy.
