Quasi-realistic retro-futurism.

I think it's dieselpunk with a... whatever the nazi style is called (hugo boss? hurrhurr) bent.

Usually "dieselpunk" is used for that sort of clunky industrial fantasy tech.
Isaac Long
Probably retro-futurism, yeah.
It mixes electrical aesthetics like wiring and capacitors with an outline that seems like a mix between a WW2 naval ship and a panzer.
not-WW2 is a pretty common aesthetic in gaming. It's probably the most popular setting for wargames. Besides being the last point in history where entire countries could be glassed at the push of a button, it was also one of the last wars where western powers fought against an opponent with equal or greater technology.

It's all jewish tech though.

The -punk suffix on words is a retrofuturism shorthand. Clockpunk is Leonardo Da Vinci retrofuturism. Steampunk is Victorian Retrofuturism. Atompunk is 1950s Retrofuturism, etc.

The technology is, not the aesthetic. Pic related is the Jewish aesthetic. Apparantly.

Love the art in these games, I even love the look of the fucking 'Qabbalah power armour'
