No one can ascertain the current Earth year (or if there is still Earth at all), so we start the count from Vostorg-7 year 0. This year marked the arrival of a joint Russian-Chinese colonization probe on Vostorg-7, a probe dispatched a very long time ago - in the early 21st century of Earth. After a long interstellar odyssey, it finally reached the unforgiving yet potentially habitable planet. The initial dreams of forging a unified spaceborne human nation were soon abandoned, as differing visions for utopian societies took root. Instead, seven independent human colonies emerged from the cosmic dust. While most of these colonies succumbed to rapid deterioration, with their inhabitants mutating into otherworldly beings or descending into feral lifestyles amidst Vostorg-7's unforgiving terrain, two colonies stood out as bastions of Man’s determination - the Derzhava and the Planet Cult.
C3 or A1
C3 definatly looks like a drone vehicle, it has no room for occupants.
Once again: I like all of them, so why not use all designs? Maybe A2 can be an upgrade for A1?
Given that it's a drone, so probably a bit of a throwaway element, I'd go for sparse and simple.
So...B2, maybe?
What's the calibre on the C-line guns, by the way? 35?
Scratch that, I'd settle for C2. Or B2 with the C2 turret, if you can somehow mate the two without it looking butt-ugly.
B1
BTW, C3 has some interesting design...
B3 has the most plausible turret.
IMHO, gatling guns aren't useful if it isn't an AA unit. I like A3 and B3 guns, because they look like 40mm autocanons, which are probably the weapon of the future for light vehicles (IRL French and English NG light armour will use this calibber, for instance).
Anti-Air-Artillery is literally the name of the game here. There's a fluffier concept in the previous page of images, which also seems to imply it will be capable of attacking ground units, which makes me a happy AA camper.
Also, they said what it's based on in that one. :)
If it's AA, a gatling could work. But still, 40mm auto is more versatile.
Only if you can actually hit your main intended target.
Mhhhhhhh, 40mm is accurate. More than any gatling. But yeah, I got the point : less shells in the air.
C2 looks the most solid
I agree, C2 the best
C3, A2, B3
You know what ? give them all ! make it random models ! and the ones with cannons ? B3 and A3 as upgrades !
C3,if not, C1
I love the long AA-type gun of B3 and the really stealthy drone look of C3.
B3
B2 and B3
