Name: Swordfish
Faction : Consortium
Type: Air to Ground Support Artillery
Weapon: Particle Cannon

Say Hi! to Empress Buddy, if Empress is an idea of flying defense platform , "Swordfish " is opposite. and work on the job that Empress can't do. "Swordfish" is flying unit that have the most attack range in ROS. it equip powerful particle cannon that have attack range more than every Sam site over that that this weapon can pierce the enemy on it path from 1 by 1 and never miss the target.

because whole chassis space of Swordfish is place of reactor that make it moving very slow [at least faster than Empress] and have no place for armor over than that it can't defense it self from Air unit but i think you know what to do. Rolling Eyes

Death From above.

**** Current Status **** [can be change for better balance when the mod done]

Hp = 125 [Light]
Cost = 1600
Damage = 75
Attack Range = 15
Minimum Range= 6
Speed = 12
Need = War Factory , Tech Center
Need time to aim their Target about 2sec before fire.
My Counter Idea if it come with Empress = it's your job #Tongue

** this unit have some Bug in animation but that i still don't know how to fix maybe i'll be but of limit of Engine but it isn't big problem just make me a bit annoy when i saw this unit work in game **

Dude! You suck! I hate that that unit is so sexy! I can't take it!

*Goes into closet to make out with Master's units*

But, Destiny's right, the weapon does look a little odd. And, the explosion at the end. But, the model is amazing.

if you compare the ingame to the other flying unit, it looks a little too btight and undefined. Maybe darkening would be good.

don't worry about the color. i make it darker already. Wink

for another problem i'll solve it as possible.

So that's why the Inspector doesn't use any anti-infantry/anti-structure weapon...
also it's really nice model.

i reduce it size and fix the color / weapon anim already.you can see on above.

I...don't know what to say. #Tongue

But I believe the Gungnir won't need those quad thrusters, since it should be using the same propulsion system as the Inspector...since it looks strange in my opinion.

when i design the unit graphic, i'll study about what limit of game engine before and create that unit work best on that limit as possible.

for Balloon unit logic if you ever modding Ra2 before you will know, the engine have some bug/limit that force you to add "Turret" / "Omnifire"on your Balloon unit otherwise it will not fire in some direction that not only make you feel annoying but it effect to game play.

So. Gungnir you saw in the picture is an Balloon unit that have "Turret" working too and different from inspector that use "Omnifire" logic and 4 thrusters work as body part.

let's see different between Omnifire and Turret logic.

Omnifire = that unit can attack enemy from any direction and doesn't need to turn it face to their target.

Turret = That unit will turn it Turret face their target

non Turret or non Omnifire = unit will face to their target but it'll get bug with unit that use balloon logic, that make it don't fire weapon on some direction.

i think, i can design unit look better if no limit on game engine specialize this logic.

RSS: reason that make me add 4 thrusters on it design that because i try to Dummy limit of Game Engine that's only way to make this unit work well as possible

I see...thanks for the info, Holy_Master. I'd suggest reducing the size of the exhaust and give it a little bit more coloring, some silver or blue might be nice.

about exhaust,i think it good enough and with this size it work very well and look cool while it moving. Very Happy

only 1 thing i want to setting on this unit is about Balance of their weapon. i think it look bit too powerful for now.

and some info i forgot. Gungnir is the most longest range unit in this side,but it have lowest range compare with another Artillery unit like Nod IronTail or GDI Juggernaut.

air artillery. Kinda like to Devastator from TW? I find the only problem with that to be it's counters. It naturally outranges ground anti air, and then AA aircraft must get in close, and they are subject to any ground AA and other AA aircraft that are defending it. Everything else can't fire it. So basically you are stcuk with attacking with a single unit, and that unit can be easikly countered. Unkess you did something different.

Yeah but dont forgot, this unit different from Scrin Devastator, it have lesser armor and heal . Inspector may protect it but doesn't mean it impossible to kill them. in TW you can spam aircraft and Tank in same time but in ROS you can choose only 1.

Spam Air= No Tank
