;D, pure awesomeness.

very good job  :D

yaay! awsomness and it's totaly amazing

shoule be more like SU152 vs Elefant and IS2 vs KT

but still, great to have those units

Hmm This may be a stupid question. But have yall figured out the OE? Because if I'm correct, unless you made it that way, the turret on the IS-2 looks like it's turned not forward.

Its a 3Ds Max render, it was turned to show the turret at the different angle. But yeah... Kami is in the midst of learning the OE, he's certainly achieved enough to make us shit ourselves with excitement (thats no lie ;D )

So would it be safe to say that you guys just might be getting in animations soon if not already?

I'm putting my money on is2...

Is the is2 gonna be buildable, in which case what tier will it be?

I personally like the IS-2 much better. But I think in the given circumstancesss. I think the Elefant would win.

Meh: flank an elefant and it's useless, also worse vs infantry, cos only one mg on hull, not 3 all around

Btw for anyone who thinks that cos is2 had bigger gun it was better than 88, ur wrong, cos is2 fired shells designed more as he than ap, whereas 88 was pure tankkiller

Well I was thinking that too. BUT What if the IS-2 could not flank the Elefant? Then the IS-2 would be totally screwed.

Don't forget there's probably another is2 somewhere nearby...

I dunno, but is2s armor was revolutionary: closer to a modern tank than most others: might withstand a few 88s hits, so It might still win, besides it's about 20 tonnea heavier, so elefant loses if it gets hit...

Hah. I'll just say you win. But I guess we'll never know until we see these beasts fight in-game. Eh? So yeah. *cough* Sure, would be nice to see a video of the IS-2! *cough* Man. I got a super bad cough today, eh?

Man! That IS bad! Go see ur doctor m8

Vid would be nice!

Now why would anyone ask to see a video!? Guess yall should put up a video now! Yep Yep Video timeee

We'll have an update soon, just in the middle of some skinning :P

Hmm How long does the process of skinning take? And Diablo aren't you like... The GOD of Skinning on this little project? :D

Nope, MrScruff is. I skin my own models though since the process is alot quicker (even if the skins aren't as good as Scruffs). Skinning from scratch can take a few hours to a few days, given the size and complexity of the model.

Modesty or the truth... Hmmm ;D

Anyways u all do a great job of skinning! Do u think u could reskin the big church as a factory or summat?

Then where is MrScruff? I just see the Burro! :O THE BURRO!!!
