Render: GLA Terror Cannon

Posted 05 August 2009 - 02:58

GLA Terror Cannon

Launching Terrorists across the map seems to be General Juhziz's new specialty, so it's a good thing he doesn't have Fan technology. However, he does have this new frighteningly powerful anti-ground defense at his disposal:



This is the new Terror Cannon defense, capable of blasting terrorists right at enemy units for a heavy amount of damage. However, this devastating first strike is followed up by long reload times, but it is completely worth it in the end.

Mobilized versions of this unit were tested, but all failed because of the need for such a powerful cannon, especially with the 3 foot diameter bore it has. The unit either flipped over, or the turret was ripped clean off.

The Terror Cannon's one major flaw lies in its lack of any anti-air weaponry. Plans for Flak Cannons or AA Missiles were experimented with, but ended up rejected in the end, in favor of researching a brand-new defense system that fires massive AA missiles that shred aircraft to pieces. But with the GLA's lack of advanced guidance technology, how will they make that work?

That was basically a huge hint about my next unit.

Aside from the really silly ordinance that this massive beast will spit, the design looks worthy of any other mod out there. The design also lends itself quite nicely to its name, which really does look terrifying. The only thing I'm not too sure about is the fins on the rear of the cannon. I don't see a purpose for their being there, but this is the crazy mod, so anything goes!

Is there a way you could make the reloading animation an actual terrorist coming out of a tunnel/ground and then loading himself into the back of the cannon

nice work Jordan

adding a man(ual) reload animation would really be awesome , I would really support that

also on a small estetic note, it might be cool to flip half the uv's on the muzzle's HC (the ones with the holes)

Epic, just epic. Though I'd like to see the Terrorist climb into the cannon barrel

This. Would also help to explain why it takes so long to load, not to mention the fact it would look bloody awesome.

Finally got some screenshots of it in action. This model had over twice as many models as a normal unit to make, so it took me a while longer.

Firing. Sorry for the Uberlord sticking out over it:



Explosion:



In addition, when the Terrorists are fired, they shout out random things. Nothing like hearing one shouting "For the Cause!" as it flies into your tanks, destroying them.
