I've seen a longer video about the super digger in a german documentary a while back, I think it's one of the biggest or even the biggest mobile digging machine in the world.

I didn't know that thing still counted as a digger, I thought it was called a mobile stripmine.

Hey, you're right, those are some pretty cool vehicles!

[rattle]

I'd like to ride the first one in a pedestrian zone

That's not the only interesting Soviet vehicle. This one is also quite odd:

First two can't be hotlinked

Yeah, Opera rules (that's what I'm using, and I'm seeing the pics just fine). First pics show the same vehicle from other directions.
The vehicle was meant to carry ICBMs, but that missile program got cancelled, so now it's rusting in the backyard of MAZ factory in Minsk. Vehicle is know as MAZ-7907.

I'm just too lazy to turn referer off because I need it for a site or two.

[Peet]

You can do it per-site :)

Resist Opera: [success]
I will not stray away from FurryFox!

But that is one big truck.
I remember that huge carrier one, think it was used to carry huge preassembled parts for the construction of uh.. shit I forgot. Well it was pretty big, like four houses and on tracks. Damn my memory sucks...

Wasn't it this one?

NASA's Crawler-Transporters are the largest tracked vehicles in existence. Although the crawlers pack over 5,000 horsepower, their top speed is less than two kilometers per hour when fully loaded. Eleven people are needed to drive a single crawler. Diesel fuel mileage is about 350 liters per kilometer (less than 0.007 miles per gallon). The crawler's function is to move NASA's space shuttles -- complete with launch platforms -- from the Assembly Building to the Launch Pad at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA. Two of these massive machines have operated since the Apollo era and have now crawled over 4,000 kilometers, all the while keeping their contents perfectly upright. In this picture a crawler transports the shuttle Columbia to the pad prior to its March 1st launch on the latest Hubble Space Telelescope Servicing Mission.

Similar to that yes, but I think it carried parts for an oversized plane or something else, my memory fails on me.

A ww2 era design for a 1000 ton tank with the tower ripped from a standard german battlecruiser. Even wilder was the p-1500 which would have been a tracked version of the 800mm railway gun Dora/Schwere Gustaf.

Spring needs landcruisers.

Would have a hitsphere large enough planes would have to dodge to fly past it... weapons would impact about half a screen away from it... etc... Small scale units, large scale battlefield is what Spring does.

Read up on new features you lazy bum. Kloot implemented other shapes for the collusion model which includes cuboids and cylinders quite some time ago.

Or you could just use one of the new hitboxes. Throw in a little lua to attach separate units and you could even use them as additional hit detection points.

T3 experimental tank with turret ripped from zulu/atlantis, anyone?
