Cobra

It was the fastest moving unit. It would be able to outrun an upgraded zealot. If it gets lucky the cobra will run into a wall.

 

i think if the cobra moved at a bit slower than an upgraded overlord then it wouldnt be imbalanced, as they would be fast enough to kite slower units, but faster units would still be able to get at them.

 

Is anybody of you can post a Cobra picture pls i dont know the image of it? please somebody.

 

Here you go.

 

It is a bit tricky to balance, thats what I First thought when the cobra/Thor Fight was shown. If the Cobra were to Fast it wouldn´t just be good against armored units, it would also be stronger than anything slower than itself. A vulture without mines and by the numbers was crap but thanks to it´s speed still a very potent unit. With all the current complains about it we might see a new Cobra by GC-Germany already.

 

Wow thanks for posting i appreciate it, so this the cobra looks, well its look like a upgraded vulture?

 

but it isnt. the vulture is replaced by the reaper, as both of them are fast harrasment units, whereas the cobra is a light, anti-armor tank.

1. Shorter cannon barrel.
2. More difference from tank design
3. More speed-car feel.
Still textures needed. Just imagine how blizzard models will look without textures.

After reading artilces about how rail-gun REALY works. I'm readesign my rail-gun cannon. So from now it more realistically looking if someone cares anyway
And infantry always need armored off-roar vehisle to support them.

And there is ability for Cobra(or Hawk).
Nitro: Adding 200% to speed for 5 seconds(or something like that).
Now we can quickly chase escaping units. Or run away from battle ourselves.
NFS fans will love this, hehe.

Yeah, and there are LIPS on barrel they are back!

======= NEW UPDAED ======= end

In my opinion Cobra's hover moving system dont have that feel of Terran armored vehicles. So, i decided to make high-SPEED off-road military version of Cobra. Hey Marines need something to get medic a ride.

My skills in modeling is horrible i know, but main thing here is idea. There is no textures, so if pro-modeler redesign my model this will be alot cooler looking.

Name can be Hawk(We are making Vulture replacement?)
But Cobra can fit aswell. He has shape of Hawk and Cobra anyway how lucky.

Yeah, he has Anti-wing on back side. And by rear sides there is turbines. Speed of Cobra need to be same as Vulture speed.

I recommend to view YT video, it will show how turret is rotating.

 

Welcome aboard! Very nice. I like it. owerup:

 

Yes, its a good idea... maybe you must propose it as a new unit, and no as a cobra redesign.
And welcome to the forum Rendom, have a good time!

 

Looks nice. I always dreamt of a fast unit with gears.

And yeah, nice to see you up here on the forum owerup:

 

Thank you guys, realy! And please sorry for my poor english. It is not my native.

 

Not mine either... I'm from Hungary.
I am sure we'll understand you.. /They understand me either/

 

That looks really good. I like the idea of giving it wheels. Though the cobra isn't a vulture replacement (the reaper is) and while it probably should go faster than it did at blizzcon, it should not go as fast as a vulture.

 

i dont understand why the cobra doesnt fit the terran feel



Welcome to this forum

 

personally i think with wheels it look too similar to the siege tank

 

wow! nice model. but i prefer it hovers. i dont like another tank for the terran. and it should be futuristic, even the vulture BIKE concept hovers.

 

Welcome to the forums.
Your design is ummmm.... interesting i like it so far however i think in order to get the feel of a fast unit it would not hurt to make a slightly longer version.

 

i don't think so. doesn't fit. overing is the terran thing.
