Spring RTS Engine

Getting up and walking around my room like a doofus, I now label the plamo stance "Cowboy stance."

I would argue that the models are not supposed to walk around or be ready for combat, so a tighter stance would make more sense. But it's your call, obviously, just putting in my two cents.

I think either way it will be an improvement, which is probably the important thing to remember here.

@knorke

That's freaking adorable.

@smoth - to me the stances seemed to be used in different contexts... I'm not all that familiar with Gundam, obviously, but this seems to be a global rule in Anime: The "bolt upright" stance is usually used when the mech is unoccupied and people are looking at it and there's the big "ooh, that's the new mech, who gets to drive it" moment... or when they stop to look at something "ooh, I just blew it up with one shot, how did that happen?" - kind of a curious loss-of-combat-readyness pose. I don't think I'd ever expect to see it in a gameplay context.

From what little gundam I've seen, they seem to behave like normal humans 90% of the time, and switch to the "feet firmly planted shoulder-width-apart cowboy pose" only for a big entrance or something, or when firing super-huge ranged weaponry like shoulder-missiles or Heavyarms' quad-wielded gatling-guns.

I've always thought that the little extras like Zakus and whatnot just behave like normal, human soldiers - guys with two hands on their rifles, hunched over their weapon, butt firmly planted into armpit.

@ firestorm... they are map features

Nope. They typically hip fire from the middle of the waist.


also notice cowboy legs aka horse stance.


shoulder mounted weapons are fired like this(on right) or on all fours.

I have to admit, i always whoreshipped the german artillerycrews a little bit, there are same (in)famous tales in my family about them. One is about a Moersercrew on the russian front in WWI, that near a sawmill (with other troops) was encircled and besieged for months by russian troops. They should have ran out of ammo, and stop firing, but they didnt. They heated direct reduced iron (The Method is called EisenschwammDampfdruckhydrolyse in german) and blew watersteam through the redhot iron, producing hydrogen, loading there cannon with that gas, shooting makeshift projectiles. When the place was conquered finally by the russians, they couldnt use the cannons, finding nothing but rust and scrap.
