Its cute. Looks a lot like the old Lego Aquanauts units from 1995... Did you base it at all on those?

Pretty much. It would be much easier that way, really.

Anyway, I like it. It looks, just like it felt like in the game... up untill I learned what I can't use its weapon above the water (I got the torpedo version).

If you play (the real) X-Com 2: TFTD they won't be too big anymore... #Tongue

Ooo, I remember some of the Lego Aquanauts units, they were quite sweet, but nope, these are not based on Legos. Link: http://www.xcomufo.com/usopaedia/pics/big/shot0011.png

Very likely, they'd have better quality as SHP format. However, I might not make tilt frames for them...

The whole reason we have the voxels is that they can tilt on slopes. SHP vehicles don't have tilt frames, even if you wanted to make them.

Ah, I see. The discussion about SHP vehicle tilting at the Reign of the Steel might have confused me a bit...

TFTD didn't had tilting, so it can be said that the mod sticks to the original quiet closely. #Tongue
