ANTLION
- Walking battle tanks -

Games featured In:
Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere

Operators:
General Resource LTD.

Background:
These are 4-legged walking tanks designed by General Resource. They were designed as a way to reduce casualties in a para-drop operations, by having light tanks being dropped instead of soldiers. They could also be used like a regular tank, although they were rarely used for that purpose. They were not fielded often, as they could not stand up to the power of many main battle tanks. The largest use of them was in General Resource's operation to attack the Riass Space Center in the Comona Islands, and disrupt the rocket launch. During this operation, they came under heavy fire from Neucom defenses and air support from the UPEO. While they were able to deal much damage to the facilities, they were unable to prevent the launch.

In the pic, is the tank's legs retracted? All this time playing, and I could never figure that out. When they're on land, I don't think the game had enough to animate legs...

This isn't the place to post this.

<<viperzerof-2>>:
ACS is a anarchy where you can get away with any stupid comment, if you like ACS fine but you're wrong. No matter what logic you come up with. It is only "fun" in an online world were these conditions of anonymity exist and people can escape their lives and play alpha pseudo intellectual.

Thought ES2.0 and the ACW could do with some better pics of the Antlions so here they are feel free to use the images where ever.
As far as I can tell the tanks have no known weapons.

I decided to take an image with my Cel-Shaded version of AC3 to see what the antlion looked like.

This is the only vehicle wreckage that stays after death in AC3 as far as I know.

And contrary to popular belief the antlions "legs" do actually have an animation but a poor one at that, its more of a "penguin waddle".

I'll be uploading some on the Ace Combat Wiki when I can.

Thanks to the magic of fiberoptics and time travel, I will be coming to cities (possibly) near you...

Wow, I'm amazed by the details we could explain from your pics, Snow. Especially the legs animation.

"As far as I can tell the tanks have no known weapons."
Maybe the red dots there are it's weapon bays? Maybe something like laser point cannons or all-aspect guns.
