Rise of the Reds v1.91, Modern Warfare Options

[TheViking92]

I would go with my Fan-Fiction to the essence of Command and Conquer:

A theater of war where the 4 military superpowers face mainly the powerful Terrorist Cell called GLA that threatens the existence of the world population and its stable economy, launching massive attacks and sowing chaos around the world.

Each faction would have more units of the XX and XXI century, adding the best heavy tanks, diversity of vehicles (artillery, ballistic, transport and utilitarian), combat aircraft (hunting and bombing) Helicopters, Drones, etc.

ECA would be a faction such as USA, China and Russia; with more units (and not necessarily because of his defensive strategy class). Like ECA, the Chinese faction would also have significant changes in terms of its units.

USA: AH-64 Apache, CH-53 Super Stallion (utilitarian), M1 Abrahams, M2 Bradley, Merkava IV, Stryker, F-35 Lighting II

ECA: A-129 Mangusta, EC665 Tiger, Wesland Lynx Helicopter (utilitarian), Challenger 2, AMX-56 Leclerc

CHINA: CAIC WZ-10, J-10, Chengdu J-20, Shenyang J-11, Tipo 99A2

RUSSIA: T-14 Armata, SU-35S, SU-30, SU-34, Kamov Ka-60 (utilitarian)


Among other units more...

Personally, I do understand people wishing for things like the ZTZ99 or J20 for China, in fact, I think units based on them could be implemented in a way that also gives them a distinct role and identity.

However, the thing I just don't get, that I keep seeing ever so often, is people wishing for modern day hardware pieces that would not only be dated/obsolete in the 2040s timeframe of ROTR, but you actually have their in-universe replacements/successors in-game already. Such is the case for the Apache, which has been replaced by the superior Comanche, the Abrams which was first interpreted as being the Paladin and now replaced with an all-new Paladin, the Mangusta and Tiger which are both predecessors to the Tiger that the ECA already has, the Ka-60 which is pointless when you already have the Hunchback as your Russian transport helicopter, the CH-53 which is equally pointless when the US already have Ospreys, Blackhawks and Starlifters for transport, etc, etc. The ECA already has a fictitious Leopard 3, so why also have a current day Challenger 2 or Leclerc, not to mention an Israeli Merkava tank for the US and the usual laundry list of Russian combat aircraft, which people want to see added purely because they exist, with no idea as to what their actual purpose could be.

Well, to defend my Fan-Fiction I can recognize that if it is somewhat demanding my idea to add all these units mentioned above and that rightly seem obsolete for the case of ROTR whose history goes to the year 2040 as written.

I am a great fan of this video game and my focus is on that gap that was left empty by Electronic Arts (EA) since the last installment of what would be Zero Hour in 2003 to 2040 of what is Rise of the Reds. EA Games left a huge gap in the series, with a game that had and still has enormous potential, and until ZH there were very few playable units for each of the 3 factions; is where I see that the desire to want more units is born, the team that made ROTR also perceived that and not only added and improved many of the units that already existed, but also added the ECA and Russia Factions which is extremely excellent.

Personally that was what most caught my attention about Rise of the Reds, in addition to the quality of graphics and gameplay (which does not have any other Modd), the variety makes the game more fun and is what I like the most.

Adding all that would level the powers in a certain way ??
A: Yes, why not?
If this is the case, that is what happens in the story, is it normal for each faction to be updated or ¿is it better to see cavemen vs jedi fight with laser weapons?

Of course, for many of you it seems shocking the ideas that can occur to ordinary players about the version of the game but do not take it badly... it is just a great game and everyone has particular and individual tastes.
