Thanks for doing this. It showed me just how big some of these units are. When you think about it, FA's scale is actually extremely good compared to other games.

it looks a lot like starship troopers (the movie).
in supcom, all units are robots, except the commander. therefore these images only give you an idea of how big the units in supcom are.

when you see an ACU next to a tree, you could also get an idea of the scale of units...

Actually, the Supcom battleships are not that large compared to a Yamato- or Iowa-class vessel.

EDIT: And let's not forget the HUGE difference in range, lol.

Actually, i believe that in ships, gunboats and such there is space for crew and passengers, for 2 reasons: 1. all planes have cockpits and some ships(if not all) have command bridge visible, that suggests that when the ACUs came with robotic armies existing ships/planes/tanks that had human crew before were just fitted with AI cores, and nobody ever bothered to update them so they won't have them. 2. some things like ships and planes are just not economical to build filled out, hollow model is far lighter(less mass that has to fly/float therefore easier to keep it flying/floating) and also it would require a lot of extra mass to fill in the ship for no real gain.

Yes i am trying to take care about such stuff, that is why t2 gunship can only take 28 or so soldiers.
