Is it? I only did it for fun. The main reason is because meshsmooth is at 3 iterations. If I were to do a low poly one, do games allow meshsmoothed objects? I was a bit curious about it. Even a link to the subject would be nice.

How will the UAV be used in PR? Or is it a surprise!?

no plans as yet but hes making this for fun, he aint a dev

as for smoothing im 90% sure that it can go ingame or what would be the point of it in 3DsMax?

there are charts for showing that target polie counts.

300k polies is fine if its only used for normal map projecting
For example Gears of war character details were projected from few million poly objects
Lowpoly version that gets exported into a game engine must be much lower res.

You could probably get a meshsmoothed 300k tris object in game but it will lag like no other.

You won't want to use the mesh as a high poly one either, it won't read those strong angles. Just remove meshsmooth and show us what you got

game design isn't the only purpose of 3ds max.
