Hello everyone, we're back again with another update for ROTR development.
The Russian Kodiak has received an additional model to add a bit of visual variety for your large tank divisions. GLA fighters revel in the irony of American warplanes being shot down by their own anti-air missile systems. The FIM-92 Stinger, acquired by the GLA through their extensive black market connections, remains one of the most effective anti-air weapons even though it is almost a century old. Stinger soldiers are usually grouped in three at specific locations, nicknamed 'stinger sites', where hostile aircraft traverse often. Lately however these sites have become easier for bombers to target and destroy, resulting in the mobile Ural trucks transporting stinger soldiers between locations, and even the soldiers themselves hiding among the foliage and striking when the aircraft pilot least expects it. Because of their large Stinger launcher they can't carry any secondary weapon heavier than a personal defense weapon, most commonly a pistol. As always, we would like to remind all of you out there that there will be another 1.851 test build live stream on this Sunday: Countdown until the stream starts Also, in case you missed our last stream, you can check it out on our Youtube channel here. -------------------- |

It is but it wasn't an upgrade applied directly on the ancient cold war vehicles. It was made from scratch, only the design of Object 279 was used as a base.
The original prototype never entered mass production to begin with. This post has been edited by X1Destroy: 23 Aug 2015, 13:28 -------------------- We Die Standing.

But it sill isn't a completely new vehicle; that would imply the base is a totally original design.

The Golem is an original design since the Objekt 279 is a unique tank made war-ready by Aleksandr and then mass-produced while the Kodiak consists of a bunch of different T-whathaveyous slapped with the same umbrella name and upgraded in whatever ways required to make them all perform the same despite originally being completely different tanks. This is the same case like with the Scorpion, Battlemaster, Gattling Tank etc, since these are all very different vehicles that still are similar enough to be grouped under their respective umbrella name and get outfitted with whatever tech is needed to make them perform very similar. As an analogue, this would be like taking a bunch of Abrams, Challengers and Leopards, then outfit them all with similar tech to make them all perform basicly the same and give them a new umbrella name like "Guardian" or something.

The variant thing becomes increasingly lame, there are already enough, it not too many variations for units. Whats the purpose even?
What i really fear is that will be a even larger overload in units and features for 2.0. ....shudders..... |

The Kodiak is usually in large numbers, meaning a bit of visual variety won't make it seem too the same. -------------------- |

i think it is gratuitous to give Russia, a specialist in tank divisions, a horde varient cluster of tanks. I mean they are supposed to be more professional atleast as far as the tanks are concerned.
I'd suggest, don't give Russia the 'tank variants option' like the gla and chinese (as we already have the reserve tank drop ability to cash on the 'older' variants of the Russian tanks arsenal). Instead make all the Kodiaks same and uniform with the new camo (or a better camo if you can come up with). THat will retain the Russian image of a more professional army as compared to the ad hoc Chinese and the gla army that they are. that said, this new camo is AWESOME!!

I'm shocked. People complaining about a mod, that they are no paying for, having more content and variety? I call this madness...
