The LMTs seem pretty weak to me, a Gremlin can one-on-one them easily. I haven't looked at Green's cannons but I assume they are similar, in which case they need firepower buffs.

Oh, BTW: Change Brown to Tan for the win. ^^

- You might want to learn about the FBI tags WeaponMainDirX and MaxAngleDifX for your commander turret, doesn't look good when the turned turn to fire into the inside. Oh and one brown comm turret has a wrong center.
- Many units have improper heights. Probably not very important however. The collision sphere are correct still.
- The wheels don't turn :(
- Zomg, you modelled and textured the inside of factory? Beside I don't like closed factories, you can't see what they're doing.
- Your constructor really look like tanks. Especially the way the green one fold his crane, and the tiny turret on the brown. The proportion of yellow/black stripe on the texturing must be much much MUCH higher.

Bah, nothing you can't find by yourself or already know about. No one plays anything else but XTA/BA/AA so I can't comment on balance.

So good luck for the future, may your modding skills bloom into leetness!

You may want to play with slope tolerances for different sorts of land units, Pressure. That might allow you to use mobility as a balance criteria, which would make the whole process more complex, I'll admit, but also allow you to further develop role-based differentiation.

fixed. new factory for the browns, and both have been resized to be 4x4 (instead of 8x8)

and ofc i did the insides of the factories. there is no reason not to do the job properly

Yeah, that's more or less what I meant. A 404 error is a 'File not found' error. UF just has it's own special page for such errors which doesn't label them as 404. Try another server.

how does making their hp the same as the light tank for that team, and 150% range sound? possibly a buff to damage as well.

ill also add a lookout tower, lots of los to make up for the air-only radar

just wondering what people think... should the fighters have some sort of ground supression ability? like dropping a bomb or sth so they can take out isolated mexxes/power/turrets?
