Armadillo Heavy APC
Cost: 1550
Prerequisite: Warfactory, tech center, command center
Role: APC, base breaching, infantry protection
Strengths: Extremely heavy armor, carry capacity of 10
Weaknesses: Slow speed, low damage
Armadillo Heavy APCs are used by GDI when they need to be absolutely sure that the transported materials or personnel reach their target intact. These massive, heavily armored vehicles can survive bombing raids and anti-armour fire for a very long time, while being virtually impervious to lighter weapons. In case of an ambush, they are armed with double anti-armour cannons, that while aren't all that powerful, can destroy even heavier targets in prolonged fire. Many GDI commanders use these as breaching vehicles in base assaults, as they can soak up much of the incoming fire. The Armadillos also work as bunkers for infantry to take refuge in.

Hmm, has armadillo already been used in some other C&C title or mod? Other animal based name I was thinking was Rhino but isn't that what the soviet tank is called in RA2... QUICK_EDIT

If you've ever actually seen an Armadillo, this is a very appropriate name. _________________ "Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there." -Adam Young QUICK_EDIT
C&C4 has an Armadillo transport and a Rhino Artillery, but yours is original and look's nothing like their Armadillo.
I would suggest that you could have it deploy in a way thats similair to how an armadillo rolls up for an increased defensive bonus, perhaps even becoming a stationary bunker, but I'm not sure if thats possible in TS _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
It look's pretty similar to carnage_xploade's voxel.
Strikingly similar, in my eyes.

Well, there are many mods with units called the Stealth Tank, F22 Raptor, Battlefortress, Chrono Prison, blah blah blah... In short, some of these names are common and don't bother the modders much
Random fact if anyone cares: This thing is the Behemoth from the CnC European Conflict mod for CnC GeneralsZH. _________________ The future belongs to The Forgotten! QUICK_EDIT
Love it!
and i want it!
Can post a download link please?
Edit: That can be used as MCV... I Think...
Excuse my bad english :$
If you use it for a private mod (a mod you don't release to everyone on the internet), you can grab it here. Just download the Reform preview and look for it in ecache02.mix (armadillo.vxl and armadillo.hva).
If you want to use it for a public mod, you can find the original voxel I based the armadillo on here, then edit it to your liking.

Haha don't excuse your English, if it's your second language then you write it better than most people who have it as their first. _________________ Beta Tester for Mental Omega 3.0
