Nose mount cannon. Strafe the ground, does only low amounts of damage, but can kill things like lone mexxes. Would also be cool since it'd be used in air to air also

i was thinking something along those lines, but the brown fighter is a missile plane, and the green one is a flak plane, im thinking a bomb of some sort might be more practical

Err...

Well, I was about to suggest two minor, cosmetic things:
- restrict firearcs on the tank with two laser turrets using the FBI tag WeaponMainDirX
- align green's medium tank's gun to the ground level by script

im not really happy with the medium tank model, expect a change.

I still think a nose mount cannon would be good. Or make the current fighters dedicated interceptors and add in a multi role ground/air combat fighter that isn't as good as either the bomber/attack chopper or the fighter at either role, but doesn't need a fighter escort to go into battle.

Nevermind, bmedveh had a laser weapon in the version I've tested.

the ground attack planes will be somewhat like this. basically a tank cannon or 2 mounted on a plane, somewhere around the same speed as the heli/vtol, think A10/Stuka for role inspiration

yeah that version was pretty bad, the med vehicle/tank have since been changed.

I'm curious, where does the name come from?

When I first read "under pressure", I thought maybe it was a naval combat mod.

Remember these guys are used to mods being posted basically as a finished product, since most of them are either derivatives of AA, ports from OTA, or relatively small-scale. Original content on a larger scale can't initially live up to their expectations. The one exception is E&E, but needless to say, it's been in development longer.

no idea mate, just pulled it outta my head.

the very same thought has crossed my mind. i have been careful to never imply that what i have released thus far is in any way a finished product, but i seem to be beating a dead horse on that one.

It sounds catchy. Kind of unique too. I like the association too, I picture this sweaty guy playing the mod microing like a madman, under pressure.

new light tank and con tank for the greens. big obvious changes for the con tank, the nanolathe swings up out of the hatch in the hull. smoothed the tracks a bit, made the track surface more 3d and increased the reflection rate on the cockpit and bare metal parts.

and a little overhead view of them too.

May I suggest you use a larger scale camo design? If you use such small blotches, they will likely turn into a pixel mess once you zoom out even a short distance.

it tends towards the base colour as you zoom out ie green for green stuff, brown for brown stuff.

new commander models

*edit* only visual changes for the brown commander. the green commander has lost his front MG and gained an AA cannon where his nanolathe was, nanolathe moved to where the front MG was.
