That thing stands out like a sore thumb in a group of tanks and it's easily identified as an engineering vehicle.

I'm not sure about that con unit design, it looks way too much like a battle unit and the few yellow spots can get lost in a quick glance. The build apparatus still looks liek a gun, I'd suggest using something more like this:

If someone says 'I cant tell the units apart' you should probably listen to them early on in the development rather than later down the line when unit designs are finalized.
being able to distinguish units is utterly vital to a commander, this is why TA's units are so eccentric.
Its a very good idea to have, at least, your constructors be differentiated, as they are something that will need to be selected often and something you dont want to send in with a group of combat units.
This is like, the number 1 complaint about EE, ask fang, he's gotten endless hell over it. So probably a best idea to make the con unit pretty damn obvious. Too much like the light tank ATM to be honest.
Other than that, stuff looks good. Its coming along pretty fast, nice to see continued development, too many people give up early.

Remember that your eyes as the creator tends to view the stuff done in a bit different light.

If it takes longer than 2 seconds to spot a conbot in a clump of units you have a problem.
All your units look quite similair but theyre saved by the size differential, making the main mode of identification in your mod size not textures or shape.
Also be aware that different people use different camera views, and no matter how much stripe you put on the bottoms and sides people in top down view wont see much.

Give it big and very obvious crane

thats a downfall to ee as far as i am concerned
you are the maker, you see them as you made them
we are the consumer we see it as we can make out
they are very similar although you know where to look everyone else may not

Don't get me wrong but it's kind of repetitive...
