This model is dedicated to my friend .VTZ. who requested it. It features a modern-warfare tank, not any particular one. The name is also invented. The model is a hybrid of scratch and a few ingame parts. The ingame parts are the barrel, the antenna, the engine's ventillation (smoke pumps) and the radar's antenna. It uses only ingame skins. There are some important facts listed below that should be considered when using it in your map to get best performance. All those facts are by no means a must, but they are recommended:

Selection Scale: 4.5 (4.0 will aslo do, but i like it more with 4.5)
Attack Range: approximately 1500-2000
Movement Turn-Rate: 0.9
Movementspeed Base: 180 (slower will also do but faster is not recommended).

Tips: The attack should have a minimum range of about 500. It will look unrealistic if it fires from any distance. The model doesn't need to be scaled ingames. Its size is made to fit into marines as is.
Please, by all means feel free to use it for whatever you want. No need to ask me for permission(s)! Have fun with it!

EDIT 1: added a few helper objects and did a few minor corrections with the mesh.

Frankster, as much as I like your models, your moderation was quite offending I must say.

Ofc. he may not say that his model shouldn't be moderated, but you could have said it in a tad friendlier way.
Also the model isn't as bad as it seems. Ofc it lacks a good wrap and stuff, but the animations and all seem fine, they just look like yours, no offence but it is so ^^
And I don't see anything wrong with the threads? As wekk as the shape, it's a pretty solid shape with not to much and not fo few things, I don't get what is wrong with it?

And for the death animation: Don't come with the mental property again, Frank. We had that already ^^ Your method of using the bomb texture or what it is, and place it on the tank after death, looks better then all the others, but just because you used it first, you can't say, that noone else is allowed to use it and that they should make a worse looking method, I mean. Come on. It's like Warhammer forbidds Warcraft to use green orcs. It's totally the same :/
 
I assume that you've changed your model since Frankster's original moderation, because his opinion and your model really don't seem to match very well. I say this isn't a bad model, and it gets a 2/5 from me. Of course, a few areas could stand to have the wrap improved, but such areas aren't seen much in-game so it's no big deal.

There's a bit of texturing wrong on the wheels (if you see the walk animation you can see that the tracks sort of just turn into the body texture every now and again) it doesn't generally look good with its current texture, to be frank the texture really does not fit with other WC3 resources anyway

Edit: the reason I'm saying this is the actual model you see in the viewer, has a different texture to the one in the screenshot, just take a look for yourself

well, the entire model is no big deal at all. It's my first tank model, so i made a lot of mistakes when making it. Changed as much as i could, but the weels still need work. It's not work in progress, but fixing/improving it is another matter. I didn't change much on it. I mainly added a few helper objects.
 
No, he got angry because he wrote he doesn't want his model to be moderated.

But you are right about animations.

srry, but it's my first vehicle ever. I never made anyone before. My models are mainly organic, doodad or attachments so far. I'll try better in the next ones, when i have more exp. :wink:
