Viper

Viper

Strength: Weak
Armour: Weak
Speed: Very Fast
Cost: 1550

The Viper serves as the Brotherhoods ground attack jet. Although created near the end of the Second Tiberium War the Viper never saw actual battlefield use and remained a prototype, however it has now been intergrated into the Brotherhood airforce. The Viper is a very fast and agile aircraft which relies on its agility and speed to outmanoeuvre and outrun enemy defences, its laser guided Tiberium missiles are excellent for targeting structures and leave behind Tiberium mutagens as an after effect.

Hmm... looks like the UEF scout plane from Supreme Commander. (minus the wider wings; not to mention that that thing was probably based on something else). Looks very nice.

It started off as a very basic looking jet back in the day, but slowly evolved into what we have here, originally it probably looked more like a weird F-16.

I liked the older viper with the forward swept wings a hell of a lot more.

Orac · Posted: Sun Jan 08, 2012 9:16 am Post subject:

I was thinking that just today.

...and I made this one #Tongue

Who made the other?

Orac · Posted: Sun Jan 08, 2012 8:55 pm Post subject:

IDK... it was old and small and got replaced. Someone from the old Odyssey team I assume did it.

Lord Firestorm · Soldier **Joined**: 20 Jun 2010

Morpher seems to be the only one left from the original team.

Ackron did a lot of TO's old voxels, then SaneDisruption and I think even Dregan. I did a few too.
hmm I might even give a whack at improving the old Viper design

It's clearly been done, so why do it again?

Just because it'd be a quick and easy edit. It's not a really big alteration - I'll just redo the wings in a spare moment and call it done again. (Or TB can make his own edits should he feel called to do so)

If it doesn't get done then it's no big problem, but if it does then all the better Smile

Orac, your Viper would be ztyping beast with forward swept wings... how soon can you make it?

Orac · Posted: Tue Jan 10, 2012 9:21 am Post subject:

I'll get around to it... possibly once this headache has passed. As I said though, it's one of those little edits which will come at a point when someone decides "eh, I feel bored, lets open up the viper vxl and play with it a bit" and is probably less likely to occur than the real important stuff like maps and buildings and things.

^this. minus the headache

I like it. The forward swept wings give it a stealther, more Nod-ish look. Makes it more unique.

Orac · Posted: Tue Jan 10, 2012 8:26 pm Post subject:

I think that additionally the wings could be moved backwards, ala the SU-47 or such.

Yup, I dig the last one. Much more futuristic.

Morpher, please use this new Viper. I'll pay you.

Nordos · Posted: Wed Jan 11, 2012 8:48 am Post subject:

I somehow dislike the white front of the aircraft - it really stands out. I wonder why it should, anyway - having it in such a colour would make it an easy target ... ? IMO a dark greay could be more appropiated, but that's just my opinion ...

It still has to fit onto a helipad - the previous version only just manages this, and Hassan's is pushing it even further. It wins badass points though, so I expect it to be included. (Unless Morpher hates it)

I didn't like the new design at all - until I saw it in-game. It's a good Nod design!

m7 · Commander **Joined**: 17 Apr 2009

It seems a bit fat personally, it it were to slim in towards the wing making a diamond shape it might look a bit more futuristic but the current ingame version should be fine.
