----- Hello once again SWR fans! We're back with another media update for you to feast your eyes on. We also have to announce that due to technical difficulties part 2 of our video feed had to be redone but it's not really a problem since we should have it ready by this week or the next. So don't worry. Now onto the renders: American Sentry Drone The Sentry Drone comes from a long line of failed prototypes. Billions of dollars were pumped into the development of the perfect scout. The first prototypes produced used to be as expensive as a tank and used to break down often. The second line were cheaper, however they had to be remote controlled by somebody within a hundred miles. The third and final version was cheaper, was capable of accomplishing its mission even without supervision and could operate for over a week without maintenance. Decades have passed, the model we see today is the newest used by US ground operations with electronics and armor more up to date with today’s available technology. The Nuke Cannon of the new generation is a terrifying opponent. It is now armed with a new ordinance and is capable of a much superior firing range and its destructiveness has increased many times over however it is no longer possesses neutron weaponry since the Budapest Convention of 2027. A bright white light, a shockwave and you are history. ----- That's all we have for you tonight. We hope you enjoyed the update. This is the SWR Team signing off. -------------------- |

Great update..
A triple barelled cannon for the Sentry? Does this mean increased firepower? Do we still have to buy the sentry gun upgrade? Does the Nuke Cannon come with increased firepower and range in-game or is it just the lore. ------- The Chinese abandoning neutron shells just because of a convention does not seem right to me cos usually Chinese will not care about such conventions in a war scenario. -------------------- |

Nuke Cannons are now over twice as deadly than before.

Nuke Cannons are now over twice as deadly than before. wowwwwwwwww............that'll be cool. Does that mean a single TOPOL-M has 10 times the destructive power of a old nuke canon? -------------------- |

Does the Nuke Cannon have bigger area-of-effect and/or fire SSNR (or similar) shells as it loses the neutron shells?
As for the Sentry Drone, looks deadlier with the new minigun armament Looks like 1.5 is going to be a LOT BETTER... -------------------- "Not in mood...go away..." "We are going to have to act, if we want to live in a different world." Bringing wrath to a forum near you since 2009! |

offtopic : I don't feel like opening a new thread for this,
Does anyone use the Ambulances and toxin/radiation abilities? I rarely use them. Not even when playing the campaign or challenge in the Vanilla ZH -------------------- |

I liked the old gun on the sentry drone better, this one just looks overkill imo.

I'm a bit dissappointed TBH,
while the diary looks all nice and interesting, the unit renders are a bit lower quality than usual. I like your remakes, (apart from the Sentry drone. I really prefer the old one. 3-sided, cone-shaped barrels look really bad imho) but this (although awesome looking) 'new' nuke cannon is the same as the new one from shockwave. Don't get me wrong, I'm always looking forward to your updates, but this one wasn't worth all the diary and story. EDIT: I just compared, yeah it's the same. That doesn't really matter, it's just a bit overkill to show a unit twice This post has been edited by Stalker: 12 Aug 2009, 13:49 |

'new' nuke cannon is 95% the same as the new one from shockwave. I's infact exactly the same it was initialy made for ROTR and then later decided to use it in shockwave as the nuke cannon for Tao aswell -------------------- |

``(apart from the Sentry drone. I really prefer the old one. 3-sided, cone-shaped barrels look really bad imho)´´
Please keep in mind that you won't be able to look at it THAT closely in-game. There's no point in making the individual barrels super- detailed and round if you won't even notice much of a difference. Also, the new Sentry Drone is actually quite powerful against infantry. |

i will assume the new nuke cannon is the China answer to the Zhukov Topol and the new Tomahawk from USA in range and power

That it is powerful is not the point really. The sentry drone machine gun had a really nice firing animation and looked very well. I don't really see why it had to be changed into another gatling-like gun. although the rest of the updates on the model do look very well.

The original sentry drone had no such thing as a firing animation.
If your reffering to the muzzle flame it had it still has that except that we used a different texture for the muzzle. -------------------- |

Fill in the gap since we haven't shown the second portion of the video and the release.

Nice update, the Sentry drone now looks like Phalanx on tracks. The 'new' Nuke Cannon looks great as well (ok, I have seen it before).
@Diary: I think it is really fun to see that both April 31 and 32 are actually non-existent. I and some others would like to see it changed to May 1st and 2nd respectivly. Also, some intel about the Convention would be helpful. |
