Not saying that Fafnir isn't awesomely awesome, but does it look kind of disproportionately stubby? Maybe it's the legs, never been a fan of that Metal Gear-ish style. Could just be the angle, though.
The legs are reasonably long, but I made them bent to go with the weight of the thing. But yeah it does have that stubby feel, though its not too bad. In future I'm just going to sack off realism, as while its excellent when done right, I'm not very good at it.
Also to anyone using the prerelease, use flans mod 4.1, not 4.1.1, as 4.1.1 is very broken, Mechs don't work.
And I'll release the full thing when recipes are done.
Which brings me onto the next instalment, the current aerial vehicles are ok, but all fill the same role, and the Gadfly isn't good for any real operations. So, we need a bomber, the UTB Atlas, and a decent VTOL gunship.
For the gunship I've got a design in the works, the HGS-115 Harpy, and is somewhere between an Apache, a Mosquito from PS2 and Biometal model H.
As it's smaller I'll be making the gunship first, The Atlas will be much larger but isn't going to be incredibly detailed. Also I need to work out a Bomber flight model, as I already have VTOL gunships.
Atlas will be armed with a shit tonne of bombs and quite a few rocket pods serving as the main driver guns, plus, if possible, a turret on the back.
The Gunship will be armed with two rocket pods and two laser MGs for the pilot, and another laser MG controlled by the co-pilot, as this will be very similar to what Manus has done with the Cobra it'll be a bit easier to do, and if I can work this out the Atlas will be no problem.
