The size is just a genetic DCON thing, you wouldnt understand. Evolution can be extra kind to some blood lines, and DCON sits a top the DNA pool.

I am sorry to say, thats a nice looking render, but it looks more like its a toy model instead of a game model.

That’s a nice render and good presentation. But I am a bit confused, are you guys taking some artistic freedom with the accuracy of this model? Take a look at my M109A2 WIP for Red Crucible.
Cheers!

I am not a Military enthusiast so to speak, so the MODEL guys and or some people who worry about that kind of stuff would have to answer.
Then again, Desert Combat was my favorite game of all time, bar none, and it never even occured to me that several things were not %100 identical to the real version.
However, ours will be really fun to ride in, sound like the devil leaving his dominion, and Blow tha crap out of the Iraqis on the other end of my spot, lol.
Nice model for Red Crucible BTW.:cool:

I think its modeled after the DC version, not the RL version, so Its to expect some warps in its physical shape.

It's all in the dCON genetics freak lab. I know, some of them might have been students I failed.
This was just a chance to show the community some work as its done.
Yeah done wrong.
Your modelers should base thier work off of real things in game, not be so busy trying to copy a dead mod, while trying to trick fans that you where the legit mod making a comback.
Lets be honest.
We are busting out the Platinum level Sh$T, more stuff than we could fit into the update section of totalbf2, and were not taking prisoners.:cool:
Yeah, your busting out the Sh$T here, and this is a good example.
The only problem is I have never seen anyone clone Sh$T before.

Dr. ... you sure are a dumb ****. makes me wonder why people even bother to volunteer their free time to make a free mod for people when guys like you bash their decent work for no real reason. grow up dude, get a life.
When I was in the army, I once standing behind 6 m109 vehicles during exercise ...Then they where shooting Whooooo what a brutal force
Thats happend early 80`s, so that arty is still in use??

Hey xP.
Yea, the US still uses them.
And sorry to USI for the inclusion of their gunner copula.
Hoof forgot to remove it after he worked on USI vehicles.

I am a child..... Hear me meow. Wow dude you can fling some serious garbage. Who pays you to bust our balls all of the time kid? I am not sure why you choose to antoagonize us.
It's all in the dCON genetics freak lab. I know, some of them might have been students I failed.So your saying you taught us how to model? Dude just who are you o' great one. Please bless us with your real name so we can all bath in your glory.
Please, oh please show us your work. GI_JOEJK (http://www.totalbf2.com/forums/member.php?u=1369) did, and his model kicks some serious bottom. I respect a man willing to show what he is talking about.
You my friend just seem to want to put us down. We don't post our work here. We are glad it is shown here, but it is not like we run in and say..."Look everyone! We are so cool."
Damn man step back and just hate us softly, we all know how you feel.
Not to mention this model was made a long time ago and Hoofer dusted it off and made it work.

Oppsie..:D
I sent a PM here to get it posted before DCon put new news up.
I wanted everyone to know that DCon has hit its stride and is a far more
serious than just CTF.
I didn't say DCon is so cool tho. I just said "'new DCon news', heres the link."
That was maybe fourteen hours ago. And new news was indeed posted just after I sent the PM.

FACT CHECK
UH thats where you are mistaken...........Hoofer recieved the USI T72 model from one of our ex members as an example.....so as to help Dcon overcome the problems they were having with animated tank tracks and the like........in exchange I believe Hoofer did some uv mapping and skinning for USI.........namely the Browning hipo......the SA7 grail.....and uv mapping the SU25.............He explained that he had taken the MG turret and set it on the Dcon m109 model as a placeholder....because he had not yet modeled the correct one,and that these screens were never meant to be shown publicly,as the model is a WIP.
Now Doorstop told me last night he would be correcting this.
Silversound who had posted the news update has apologized to me.
I would only say that Dcon could probably stand to get a better handle on the PR dept b4 releasing these types of things......as I know how damaging they can be to a mod teams reputation.
Still waiting on the correction BTW.

doorstop isnt worried about reputation. If this is damaging to it then LOL.. correction will be up sometime today.. doorstop has to work midnights.. i love referrring to myself in the 3rd person. thanks to all for the catch and corrections. I found it pretty funny.. but i'm just weird like that.. I dont sweat the small stuff.

Pay no attention to Doctor, AT ALL. He joined these forums and his first post was a harsh critique \flame on DCON. He is one of those made up personas designed to aggravate.
I will never respond or acknowledge a single thing he posts again, I suggest everyone else do the same. You will notice how he reserves such rudeness for us, but praises every other little MOD he comes across. :p
Grow up Doctor, or whoever you are. We will be fine without your support.
Hey XPNL, I cant imagine what it must be like to stand behind that many Howitzers firing at once. Your tender eardrums, lol.
Were going to try and make the Howie sound as destructive as hell, like it should be.

FINALLY. A worthy Artillery Unit.
I'll have you know this is the one item that got me to try the DCOM mod once again.
Ah these units in the Military have the ability to conduct artillery raids, engage thier own targets and they are just all around great to have around.

Best part about having so many mods is all of the choices. What I look forward to is when they are all done and some bored kids make em all into one giant mod.
Some of the best mods I have played in the BF series are mods of mods.... DCF & DCX
