MAD Tank, otherwise known as the Mutually Assured Destruction tank.

It generates a harmonic resonation wave that damages vehicles and structures, but doesn't harm infantry. It must deploy to charge its weapon, kicking you out of the vehicle to complete the process.

When it deploys, an audible message is heard. "MAD Tank deployed."

When it detonates, it destroys itself and sends out the resonation wave which removes 44% of the hitpoints on any vehicle or structure. Three can destroy an entire base, if used in cohesion.

Costs $2,400.

Model: Sir Phoenixx
Texture: Darkblade

What's the maximum effective range? Is it the same at the atom bomb?

It must be if it can affect an entire base. Just not as powerful.

its yellowish brown in the icon but the model looks green. Needs to be redone to look better like the harvesters.

Because we wanted it green. Soviet vehicles came in tan, dark grey, or green.

1) Will it affect friendlies as well?

2) As bigjoe asked, what is the range of the shockwave?

Heh heh, I'm going to have so much fun stealing one and using it inside the Soviet base... :twisted:

The question is, why would someone use the Mad tank when they could use the demo truck?

Did you even play RA? Demolition Trucks, while fast, cost $2,400 (Same as the MAD Tank) and had little armor. One soldier could destroy them and waste the investment. They also had to be right next to their target and they didn't do as much damage as a MAD Tank did.

The MAD Tank had a cell radius of 20, which is about 300 meters in Renegade, viewing distance. While it moved slow, three could take out an entire base from a long distance.

so it's range would be in a diameter of 600 meters in Renegade?

What's the average size of a normal base?

whoa.

Yeah, but these things will move alittle slower than a mammoth, and have no defensive capabilities. These things are gaint slow moving targets, that have one hell of a bite.

Definately not the best that I've seen from the Ren Alert team, but this will probably be redone like the rest of the vehicles.

Maybe it's because I am comparing it to the Ore Truck, which is incredible...but the texture map on the MAD tank doesn't look too great.

for instance...there seem to be texture missalignments:

http://www.n00bstories.com/image.fetch.php?id=1240952444

And the vehicle looks very plain in general...it seems like for most part its just the same repeating metal texture. I couldn't do better, but I think the RenAlert team can.

Yes Ack, I do mean like that, but I agree with SEAL. It's good, but still a little too plain.

Nothing there is misaligned.

The two spots you're pointing out on the cockpit area would be lighting. You know about lighting in W3D Viewer, that it's possible to adjust it? I simply adjusted it to show the contrast and the edges of the model.

The two bars not meeting up, what makes you think they're meant to do that? It's rather obvious it was intended to be that way or else we could easily have made them meet.

It isn't the same "repeating metal texture" because it's two UV maps with one set style.

Nothing in it repeats.

I dont think anyone cares about it being "two UV maps with one set style." It looks very dull compared to the other work that RenAlert has produced. There is no need to get defensive...I'm just trying to give some honest feedback.

All I have is a question...

I thought the MAD tank was only good for was for squashing infantry. I bought one of those a long time ago and to the best of my knowledge, all it did was run over enemies. Razz

Razz

I haven't looked to far into this vehicle because I thought it to be useless unless there's a stradegy I don't know about.

PS: I remember it being slow as a snail though. Shocked

Shocked

[EDIT]
How big is it compared to...let say...a mammoth tank? Just curious... :rolleyes:

The lighting makes the textures look more like they don't meet in that spot, but they still don't flow perfectly.

The textures do look like they're bland and plain. The tank needs some more variateion, like the reference pic.

It dosen't need variation. The damn thing's gonna blow up anyway. There's no sense in prettying up something just to see it blown to bits.

But it drives around like a normal vehicle, until the driver decides to detonate. So, might as well treat it like a normal vehicle.

The Demo truck, by your logic, doesn't need variation either. Yet, somehow, it has variation.
