Turret looks like it's floating IMO and is just too big. I'd also definitely increase the width a little. Other than that it looks pretty good.

Turret looks like its floating because of the Base and Chain Guns having almost the same colors.

I kinda like the Skinny Style for it so I'm probably gonna mark this as done.

I like the overall style of the vehicle. Slick, simplistic design- over the top but not cartoony. Good normals and selection of colors.

My one critique would be the turret. I also think that the color choice for the base of the turret and top of the chassis make it appear like the turret is floating.

I've done one last tweak on it again as it really does seem like the Base for the Turret is too detailed (I gave it a gradient) so I brightened the base as well and used only a single color.

The Turret is essentially the same one from vanilla with only Chain Guns added to the sides. Flak Cannons in Colony Wars have been modified in terms of how they attack.

They still deal splash damage but they shoot far more slowly and no longer are inaccurate. So theres a reason why the Flak Cannon looks more imposing. Its size is also bigger since I've also made them tougher.
