No,I did not.
I Liked the idea of walking ships right after i Saw it in Supcom but was not aware such models existed until noruas added them to XTA from some OTA mod.
In SA they are a bit lighter and are aimed at closer range combat rather than bombardment from afar.
I'm Still interested in nice looking walking ship models since these aren't really as awesome as i'd want them to be.
I Could Use Cremuss's Ship model If i modified it a bit and added legs but Than one walking ship would look way better than the other one(I'm still thinking about adding it despite this).

I only find the missle towers a bit on the weak side so far, especially vs bombers.

Haven't really played around yet with other units but will have a go vs ai one of these days.

*EDIT*

After looking at some replays it seems that bombers have a little too much hp in general. Still going to look some more into this since i haven't had the chance to go air to start with.

Hey there. I very much like what I've seen of the mod so far, and have a quick comment on the performance of bots with U41 as I ran a couple of head to head AI games to check out this release.

It seems that under bot control, Core outperforms Arm as Core seems to prefer building decent numbers of the cheaper units (AK / Storm / Thud / Levellers etc) whereas Arm builds smaller numbers of expensive units (Jeffy / Flash are rare, it's usually Pincer / Stumpy / Shellshocker, and no combat Kbots apart from the Warrior). When Arm and Core clash, Arm collapse quickly under the concentration of enemy firepower and steadily lose ground. I saw the same trend on Green Comet Basic (they both went vehicle first) and Brazillian Battlefield Remake (both making bots).

No idea where bot behaviour features on you priority list but you might like to take a look...

Hmm well I had not looked into how bots play SA...
I didnt tweak anything for it and im not sure i can do anything modside apart from making a special
ai for SA...

isn't this kind of positive?
i mean, the user can like choose between two different play types for his AI enemy through its faction.

Well,an official level of difficulty would be more appropriate for that.

FYI that was KAIK AI that I was talking about. Since then I made some config files to make E323AI 3.19.1 play U41. It seems to play a decent game from what I've seen so far, it looks comparable to how it plays BA, certainly at T1. That release of E323AI seems to defend its base better than the version that comes with Spring too. I attached the config files in the AI's thread.

I ran a few, it plays a decent T1 land game (although outside the main base its constructors and mexes are easily sniped) but I can't for the life of me convince it to build a T2 factory. That seems to be the case when it plays BA too, even with a bot playing alone on a map it places all T1 mexes, slowly grows the base with wind gens and metal makers and builds a lot of T1 land units.

It seems this AI is still in active development (I only became aware of Spring this month) - so unless I have something wrong I presume the progression to T2 is still to be added in. It does lots of things well already and the configuration seems well organised so it looks like there are more good things to come.

Hello again. FYI I updated the config files and gave them a lot of tweaking and testing today, they've been updated in the AI thread once again. Incidently the lack of progression beyond T1 was just situation dependent, the AI does play all tech level quite happily if the situation warrants it.
