PC RTS - Customizable Tanks

Post by ImissOLDgames »

Hello,

I don't remember much on this game but i try to give as much details as I can....here goes....

1) A PC RTS game (Can't really remember the year, but it is pretty old...maybe early 2000s or before)
2) I think you only have a main building that can produce tanks.
3) Can't remember is there any resource management. Seems like there is only tank build time according to the complexity of the tank (explained on the point below).

4) The complexity of tank that i metioned above is that you are able to customize the tank before being built. I roughly remembered you get to set the size of the tank first, then choose weapons to be mounted onto the tank. The bigger the tank, the more weapon can be mounted onto it but it move at a much slower pace.

6) The biggest tank, i think it allows you to mount 5 weapons, 4 on each corners while one on middle.

Hope the points above are enough for some good guesses.... :P

Thank you all.

The two RTS games from the early 2000s with customizable units that immediately come to mind are Warzone 2100 and Earth 2150. I haven't played either to the extent to tell which (if any) has five weapon mount points on the biggest tank chassis.

Hmm...Battlezone?
There are several games in the Battlezone series; otherwise, you could look at the Mars setting, or the Tank vehicle itself?

Not that as well MrFlibble....

The game should be older than that, seemingly the 3D is still on the early stages...

The smallest tank is a triangular one which you can mount only one weapon on top.

But it is alright if it can't be found, no need to wreck your brain for it. Lol.

Thanks again.

You can take a look at the MobyGames RTS list, maybe your game is there. Most entries have screenshots:
