Rise of the Reds: The Race for 1.5, Segment #1 Options

[Comr4de]

First we would like to welcome everyone at our new forums, we've taken a great deal of time and devotion to bring our own server Softalogic online, complete with our domain name and forum to you today. There's still much work to do but to first christen our new home we'd like to continue with this new series of updates until 1.5. Let's move on shall we?

American Tomahawk

The Tomahawk performed unimpressively during the Eurasian War. Even though the Chinese and GLA used outdated artillery, they still managed to outperform the tomahawk. Having spent too much money developing the tomahawk in the first place, it was decided against replacing it as the primary artillery system by the US military. The new Tomahawk cruise missile is expected to turn a new page in this book. The new Tomahawk is capable of being operated in two modes, high speed and cruise. High speed mode allows the missile to reach its target quickly while in cruise mode the missile’s wings are deployed and the missile becomes capable of reaching great distances. US Commanders should pick the mode best suited for the task at hand.

American Paladin Tank

The Paladin Tank project was considered a complete success by the US military. The Paladin was first introduced when point laser defenses were considered outlandish by many. At the time, the Paladin was only inferior to the Overlord. Though with the introduction of the Sentinel the world has now a new king of tanks, the Paladin still performs remarkably. US armor may lack in brute strength when comparing to Russian and Chinese armor, however, what they lack in brute strength they make it up with technology and ingenuity.

See you soon for the next segment

May be because I never saw a render of the paladin before.

Well as I said.

[The_Hunter]

happens to alot of people

[Pickysaurus]

Wow look awesome!
I really like the look for them. USA was needing a facelift

[Stinger]

Aside from its looks, I really like the new ability that was added to the Tomahawk. Players will be able to use those long range missiles to probe for weaknesses so you had better not be caught napping when the United States comes knocking on your door.

[Pickysaurus]

Yeah, Tomahawks were never used in my USA strategy, I found raptors to be more effective artillery
Maybe this will changed things

[Mcbob]

No the longer range fire mode does not have seeking otherwise there would be little reason to use the faster seeking fire mode.

Hmm, I would have thought the other way around.

I guess you can "imagine" that the tomahawk has a predetermined flight route that cannot be changed in cruise mode.

I assumed that both modes would still have guidance, but when a missile is fired in high-speed mode, it has a slower turning speed and cannot turn fast enough in-scale of it's velocity to hit fast, moving targets.

Your idea sounds much more balanced.

As fore the tomahawk missile itself, I'm hoping for an explosion 10x more awesome that the default, crappy, orange/red flareup, that made it appear so weak in vanilla ZH.

This video illustrates the true power of the Tomahawk:

lol, Palabrams

that cruise mode sounds interesting, can't wait to use it ingame

[Destiny]

I'd love to see the wings actually deploy...now the USA _has_ some serious artillery.

[Stinger]

I'd love to see the wings actually deploy...

Then I think you will be delighted with the result of how this turned out.

[Jester]

Sweet. This is what is happening to me now

[Crazykenny]

Those re-models are wicked.

[Balizk]

I think that the Paladin Tank is not good with this chasis, but the rest...
