Chayot



The Chayot's mission is to provide extended close ground support during infantry operations. Instead of mounting more expensive missile ordinance, the Chayot uses two heavy caliber autocannons to deliver massive amounts of suppressive fire on enemy positions. The helicopter is best used against unorganized infantry but is more than capable of eliminating soft targets.

Now, before the comments start rolling in, I'd like to say my piece about this. This helicopter is of my design, combining elements from other helicopters and converging together into what you see here. The original concept was radically different from this one, and I decided to scale back the "tech" stuff because it looked too out of place. I may change it back, but at the moment I am satisfied with how it turned out.

I thought about the weapon that the attack helicopter sports in Tiberian Dawn and tried to come up with a design that incorporated the classic dual machine gun burst we see. I didn't want to deviate too much from the Apache design, but I also didn't want to rip it off either, as I feel that Westwood got lazy at that point and decided that it wasn't worth the effort of redesigning every vehicle, as if they hadn't already done that.

So my ultimate design goal was to come up with something fresh, and yet keep its silhouette more or less in line with the Apache, and I think this suffices.

I see, its a mix of Apache and Harpy. But IMO cockpit should be longer.

It is a very interesting design and I like it!

It's a single passenger aircraft, and in my mind the cockpit opens toward the nose, but that isn't something you pick up on from the voxel.

To me, WW wasn't lazy because of using real-life models, I think one of the things that made TD great was the sense of reality, of recreating a modern world war, and the apache, the medium and light tanks, the humbee etc. helped to that purpose.

I'd prefer a real world helicopter, but I like this one anyway because it's like some kind of transition between TD and TS, and that fits well into the mod.

I was talking more about Renegade more so than Tiberian Dawn, but it is an unfair comparison to make because the original team that made TD was barely involved in Renegade after a certain point.

I don't see a reason of expecting a shitstorm regarding this voxel. This is the first one I particularly like.

not a shitstorm. I particularly like it too. It just.... reminisce of Cryo chopper design from some angles... can't un-see it.
