It just keeps getting better and better.

I can't wait for beta.

Is that evening or full night? It feels like it's full moon style lighting and wouldn't need lights.

[Ailos]

Wow. Its dark. Not pitch black that you will stumble into the rock in front of you, but you will struggle to identify objects at a distance. And it kinda looks like there is moonlight. So then what happens when the moon is blocked by clouds?

[KCTitan]

Guess this means that vehicle lights are toggled on/off? I hope so! But then again it could just be unoccupied.

[Coreldan]

Could also be that they only turn on at a certain level of darkness. Then again, I think that one picture with two vannies and some reavers flying was in similar lighting setting and they had headlights on.

Something I've been wondering.. If driver now controls main gun.. What will the secondary gunner do? The machine guns are fixed (except vertically), so you're pretty much only shooting at the same target as the driver/main gunner?

Perhaps you can get a 360 turning machine gun on the top too, but we've seen no photos of that, at least yet.

But yea, looking real good. But what is that thing in the second picture to the right? Sorta looks like a BFR, but sorta doesnt and those were said not to be in. Drop pod? Some other structure?

On that note, the treads seem to be clipping underground quite commonly, something I'd address. It's just that it pretty much looks like it's working with those "wheels" alone Doesn't matter if some of it clips underground, can be explained with weight or something, but currently it seems the whole part of the treads that connects to ground is actually underground. EDIT: Where it still seems situational. Doesnt happen in all scenarios it seems, but quite often anyways.

[Levente]

Looks awesome, except that ambient occlusion that looks weird, its a bit too strong

[Vash02]

on the AGN he says its moonlight and not the full night.

IIRC the coaxial machine gun on the main turret is also controlled by the driver, and the secondary gunner gets another AA/AI/AV weapon which would presumably be tacked on top of the main turret.

The AGN stream lagged a bit for me, but I think they said they're redesigning the top to get rid of those machine guns. Anyone else catch that?

Yeah what they have in the SS is vannie classic.

[Coreldan]

While it could be customizable, but I'd like at least an option for a bit less worn out Vanguards. I know it fits the lore pretty well, but at times it wouldn't hurt look like something else than cracker Jack

[Traak]

If that gun bore is 150mm, then the tank, according to calculations and measurements I did in GIMP, is 2.6 meters wide, or, 8.5 feet wide.

The M1A1 is 3.7m or about 12 feet wide.

I will check another picture and find a better matching scale between position of gun and front, preferably straight-on shot.

Yes they will be able to be switched off and on Higby confirm it.

[Traak]

I want to sit in the tank and not have it powered up. And create awesome forest-canopy-covered ambushes that can't be found by planes, radar, cheaters, etc.
