I did a few more of those, it appears that UEF truck can transport up to 30 ppl, not counting a driver, even Mechmarine can fit one human inside so if you ever wondered can you jump into a Mechmarine and just roam around(I did) theoretically yes.

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. .

Also, Command units are extremely expensive and difficult to produce, whereas standard combat units are not.

I think that the designs are meant to be useable even without the presence of an ACU so that various colonies and bases can retain some defense capacity when command units are not present. They have cockpits and bridges in the event that people will need to pilot them manually, even if those are not normally used.

Well yeah but t2 gunboat can clamp on a truck that seriously increases its capacity, and this was how much ppl can it take comfortably without taking up any corridors.

The CZAR has a diameter of 410.3 meter. So you could easily fit an army in there.

On the matter of scale. It's mostly the ground units that are much larger than the sort of things we have today. Ships are indeed not as large and I don't know about planes, but B52 bombers are quite big too.

are you leaving room for engine components and such? lets see a czar

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

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.

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...

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.
