I didn't know that the PZH2000 was a WW2 weapon

[Sgt. Rho]

*slaps AJ* The PZH2000 is about as WW2 and a warpdrive xD

But I guess that was a copy-paste error?

[Sgt. Rho]

I will provide side/top/back renders later.

[AZZKIKR]

I deserved that slap

Yeah, was a copy pasta error, it's been corrected now. Nice entry Sgt Rho, hopefully you'll have a lot of competitors

And azzkikr: you do not have to bone, but if you can and have the time to do so, it would be appreciated.

:hates gmax's inability to do in 3ds format:

[Libains]

I would imagine there would be several people here who would convert the model for you Azzkikr - it's hardly a time-consuming job

[Pav:3d]

Upload or send to me a .w3d azzkikr and ill convert it for you

[AZZKIKR]

thanks

Pfft.. such a history novice; don't you remember? Robo-hitler built the PZH2000!

[Admiral FCS]

[AZZKIKR]

That one is cool, but the diameter of the barrel is so small compared to the RL version...
Anyways, I do have a nice artillery, but it's for my mod, and don't want to share it

[Futschki]

Yeah Dutchy I think you're right, anyway that's not the final version as it needs some optimization its 920 polies now and i need to add a bit of details on the front as it looks a bit 'empty'

@AJ: Yeah does MRLS count or does it have to be a one big cannon type artillery?

Edited by Pav3d, 24 July 2009 - 19:35.

[Jok3r]

MLRS! Multiple Launch Rocket System, not MRLS. Anyway, yes, MLRS systems will count as artillery for this contest (they are generally considered artillery, anyway, even if their specialty is often counter-battery fire).

MLRS is perfectly acceptable.

My entry,

The unnamed heavy artillery!

Not much to say about it. Has big cannons which fire big shells that cause a big explosion. And has a sattelite dish to recieve target-locations

ouch, that colour hurts my eyes.

edit: my entry.

well then, here's what i made.

the 'trebuchet' deployable artillery platform. the gigantic gun fires abnormally heavy munition that not only explodes violently on impact but can also be configured to explode in the air, showering the ground below with red-hot metal fragments and burning propulsion fuel. the only way the trebuchet manages to fire these marginally large projectiles is by accelerating them with two magnetic rails, partially visible on the sides of the barrel. using these rails, the platform manages to fire these super-heavy shells in wide arcs over tremendous range, effectively negating any visual obstructions like cliffs or hills. beware though, as both the loading of the shells and charging of the rails takes some time. additionally, it's sheer size and weapon knock-back requires it to deploy stabiliser legs, which again, takes time and patience.
