Maybe make the pole a bit more complex?

[smokingwreckage]

The gun looks REAL nice. The tower could be a bit more detailed? Conduits? Elevators? Conning tower?

[Warlord Zsinj]

There is a high-poly version of the bertha visible in the TA starting movie, I recommend having a closer look at that.

Your remodelling is nice, but I think you've lost some of the important design aspects of this gun.

[Cremuss]

I don't know if I'm gonna make the pole more complex... I knew you'll said that I should but I think it has to stay a "simple tower". Anyway I'm gonna try something to make the pole looking nicer ^^

@ Warlord : ok ;(
Do you have any pictures of the high poly bertha ? I can't see anything during the 2sec that the bertha is showed in the TA intro video ^^

I think the gun looks increadible, but the base of the tower needs something else.

You can see that there is somewhat more of a curved/polygonal aspect then a boxy, angular design on top.

[Crayfish]

Maybe just a thicker base with a couple of strut things would work.

Cremuss: looking good. Just a bit more visual interest in the new version, thanks to the Pole Enhancement. I like it.

[clericvash]

I think you have it done well in the new one, it doesn't have to be exact remember just needs to looks good, which it now does :)

[Warlord Zsinj]

I think it looks good, but I think it's missed the aesthetic of the bertha, and the aesthetic of Arm's stuff. If it's not trying to be the bertha, then it's a nice heavy gun - a bit boxy for my tastes, but otherwise nice. If it's trying to be the bertha, then it needs more work.

[Hoi]

It really looks like a bertha, it just misses some of the details the bertha has.

[Cremuss]

Yeah ok, I'm gonna rework on the bertha now, after a quake 3 game.

Don't worry if there is not a lots of updates. Annihilator, nukes and safe geothermal are already done but I want to finish the bertha first before posting pictures :)

[very_bad_soldier]

I really like the Bertha! Great work!
Your Kbot fac is nice too but I think its missing some details like some antennas or satellite dishes or something like that. It looks a bit "flat" but still quite sexy...

[Cremuss]

I think I've finally got something looking much better. I've just remodeled the gun.

[Warlord Zsinj]

Without a doubt it's improving. It still doesn't really look like the Bertha, but I think that's ok - mods like CA are trying to move away from TA anyway. It at least looks a lot more like an Arm unit then the original.

[clericvash]

The rounded back looks stupid imo, i still preferred the squared back it makes it look more meaty like it is supposed to be.

[MR.D]

I'm leaning towards the Squared looking back too, but both models are sweet regardless of which one makes the final cut.

CAn you please remove those wings on the tip of the barrel?
