Hi, there is still some low-poly units models in ZK. Chainsaw is one of them. I think we need new model. I made some example, non-textured. Even if you wont like it, someone else can make the model but its IMO needed. A 2D LUA for moving rockets: http://pastebin.com/KqFihRvfV2: Current state:Download link: (17.8.2013) DOWNLOAD

looks more like a futuristic radar dish/dwarven atom smasher then it dose a missile launcher

I assume you mean chainsaw, not hacksaw.

Make the missiles bigger and longer. If it doesn't rotate, then it might look ok.

Hmm, Id make it more thick with much larger missiles.

What is your polycount? It looks like you are using smoothing. That is almost always bad. You're right that the Chainsaw (title is wrong but body text is correct) needs replacing though.

this looks more like some kind of EMP or beam weapon, i alwais wanted stun and slowbeam as AA weapons... but dwarven atom smasher would cool to P.S. i happen to like the old chainsaw model, it might indeed use a bit of an upgrade but not a radical change

It's pretty and all, but I can't help but think it looks more like a gramaphone and/or sewing machine than a weapons platform at first glance.

"Low"-poly (still some things to reduce) with longer missiles. If it doesnt fit for hacksaw, i dont mind. Its fun to make things :)

I guess it's kind of nice... but I wouldn't want to have any of the current models replaced with it [D:] maybe it'll become a combo of radar tower and stun weapon. [;)]

BTW, i dont thing there should be much more units in ZK, it would be hard to teach for newbies. Good solution would IMO be, to make new units just for morphing from another unit.

Looks too much like Wind Generator to me. Try to change the top part to something in one of this pics: In this one make it a missile get out of the box to reload fast, cause chainsaw shot very fast. This could be a alternative to defender too:

I don't like the squareness and mini-features on the base. It highlights the squareness of things and radar dishes etc.. are confusing. Remember that this unit also floats. The top does not make sense to me. I agree it is too much like a windmill and the reloading system for those rockets shatters my suspension of disbelief. I like the yaw aiming system if it could be made to work without a large square base. The pitch aiming system may be a bit low down because that head will move a bit too much if it has to change pitch to some nearby aircraft, it could even clip into nearby things.

Ok, i did took images given and did entirely something different :-D (those images looks similar like present SAM)

That a lot better now, not more looks like a Wind Generator, good job.

I like your latest one more, but I would really like to have it be a spinning thing still.

The idea is that rockets go out of pedestal to end. When all rockets depleted, new will come. Probably should resolve the pedestal, so rockets do not show out of nothing.
