M3 A1 'Kodiak' Super Heavy Tank

After several researches and following breakthroughs in tank and armour technology the Space Orcs started to revise the data archives for designs from the Planet MW-Sol-P-3, a.k.a 'Earth'. The data revealed some of the most famous and infamous tank designs from decades of this planet.
The result of the researches is the M3 A1 Super Heavy Tank, dubbed 'Kodiak'. The super heavy combines the fast tracks and metallic composite alloys of the 'X66 Mammoth Tank Mk III', the versatility of the Chinese 'Overlord' tank, due to the upgradable nature of the top turret and the ultra-powerful cannons and turret of the Soviet 'Apocalypse' tank.

Give credits if you use it in your campaign/map, DON'T distribute to other sites and DON'T edit without my permission.
Have fun with the model.

needs a bigger picture GF.^^

It is really difficult to read the attachment points text.

Oh and about the model:
The model is pretty high-poly compared to other ones, but the mesh looks really wonderful and interesting.
I like that this one has some animated texture again which is a nice cosmetic extra. The animations also wrk very smooth, but I think the spell animation could be better as it is too similar to "attack two".
And what I really like is this destroyed-look for the death animation.

The biggest negative point I can mention is the file size.

Again, the death animation is not "epic" enough for a tank model of this size and quality.

Its really good in my opinion, but the death animation could be better :) Maybe some thing flying away etc, as i said before

Tanks tanks and more tanks, running low on tanks idea yet Frank? All of them uses in game texture which is impressive since I can't figure out how you did it, but hey I don't model sooo.. ya.

I give it a 4 out of 5 for a simple death animation that looks like the siege engine kind of death, the attack is impressive enough, movement.... well it's a tank nothing to describe.

oh.... fuck..... just.... "fuck" dude, i can not get over the mesh on this thing, you have far surpassed any tank you have done before. The treads look detailed and solid and amazing, i love the headlights everywhere, just sheer awesome. The teamcolor is incredibly well done. Great UV map, and without a doubt the BEST use of ingame textures i have ever seen. Everyone uses the Tinker texture, but you have perfected it, you have put it in a whole new light and i am loving every second of it. The animations were... well, "disappointingly expected" The steam tank death does not do any of your models justice. And minor note on the stand - 2 i think it should be a bit slower seeing as it is such a large tank. I really like the teamcolor glow on the tip of the antennae, that was a nice touch. But I am not quite sure why the model is close to 300kb.... despite it's complex mesh, i find it odd that it is so large. Despite some minor flaws i still think that this thing should be a director's cut regardless. I love these tanks you've been making recently awesome, distinctive style to them

EDIT: also General Frank, could you put that pic in your post in a HIDDEN tag, because right now it is stretching the page like crazy

Wait....

so its a God of all tanks?
 
Super nice job man.
Is it possible to have a variation with only one canon. Canon size shoukd have the same length ut can have a bigger diameter. Because I used it in my map and his double canons are not how my spell work. (It's not a problem if you dont want man)

Very good job man
Nah, sorry. I moved on from this and I tried making better models than this one. :D
 
Better than this one ... god!!
I can't wait to see that, the one of your profile picture is nice

There it is.
