1.1 Announced., Special Christmas update. Options

[The_Hunter]

Hello all,
First i would like to thank everyone who voted us durring the ModDB awards becouse we came out 7th out of all 100 mods with the players choice award.
To rewards you all becouse of this i have prepared an extra big update for all of you look at.

First off the new tech building the "Tech Airport"



This airport can be captured to deploy paratroopers which will deploy a signal flare to drop 7 of the basic infanantry of army your playing at the designated drop zone.

In addition to this it can also call in a minor airstrike which is different for each faction:

China : Migs deploy napalm bombs
USA : Nighthawks proform a bombing run
GLA : Suicide planes will crash themselfs into the target location

Next up some redesigns of excisting units starting off with new Gattling Cannons for ALL generals:



Second the newly made Quad cannons in all 3 flavors



and we also have some vissual updates for the Advanced Microwave, Chinooks and the new Drone Bomber which will be replacing the F/B-22 Bombers gen power for Townes.




With all that shown now i would also like to announce we're not going to release 1.01 but are going straight to 1.1 and we got alot more stuff coming up for all of you.

Merry Christmas every one untill next time.

Fantastic.

Are you planning to revive the awesome Smerch anytime?

[Anubis]

Awsome update indeed. Pics are broken. Opening them gives a 404 error.

Clicking on image thumbs gave 404 errors for me.

[Darkfire Angel]

Awesome to see such a big update, nice to see the gattling cannons updated so they're similar to RotR, will they still have more barrels with the chain gun upgrade and will the Overlord version also get an update?
The only thing I'm unexcited about is the GLA minor airstrike, I'm sure the no go list had suicide planes listed on it. Also it just feels somewhat cliche, I'd rather see an actual bombing run type power.
I'm also get 404 errors though.

[Mobza]

Only the nuke gat cannon pic seems to work for me, all the rest are broken

Links have been fixed.

Becouse it was on a list that stopped beeing vallid at the point it no longer existed ?
Whole point back then was becouse people actualy had the idea of 747 generals or other spinoffs.

[MARS]

Also, I'm _guessing_ that these suicide planes will essentially be old, converted fighter planes / small, cropduster-type aircraft, not a huge civilian jet
airliner which we still consider tasteless. It's not like these airstrikes will be all that powerful. They'll be useful but don't expect them to destroy a warfactory.

[Zeke]

it costs 400,000$, to fire this weapon, for 2 secs

Fair enough. I notice there's no update for the Sentinal?

Yep old school prop planes that simply dive into the target.

[Guest_General Frank_*]

Excuse me if I am asking old crap, but is the damage of Tank's AP gattling gun reduced 1.0? I felt is was stronger in attack in .95. Also, is the new one just going to be a visual adjustment and no nerf again?

[The_Hunter]

You are correct it was mentioned in the 1.0 change log

this new one is just a vissual update no futher nerfs
Also welcome to the forums Frank.

Alright. It is sad that those got nerf'ed but people can blow up ground units away with the new and awesome guard towers.
Thank you Hunter, I am a fan of your work since 4 years now. I really love your mods and your style. Keep it up, my Dutch neighbour!

[Mr.Kim]

Sweet update and keep coming.

[Chyros]

Oh yeah people, we got lots in the pipe. Booyah!

[Mr.Kim]

Hopefully no more easter eggs in 1.1


And, is there chance play new faces or missing in general challenge?

[Guest_Valour_*]

Wow, beautiful new renders - real good work there. So 'shocked' at all the nice improvements and glad you're tweaking so much still - thought only minor things to be added.

Merry Christmas and thanks for such a wickid update

Great Job !!!!!!!! As Always
Nice the returns of Red Alert 2 old Airport tech building

Merry Christmas to all the Crew and fans of this mod

Cant WAIT !!!!!

[Waris]

Kind of glad that you do away with the boomboxes on the Combat Nook

Question: Can you land a couple of planes and/or repair choppers with the Tech Airfield?

Fantastic.

Well, the old rule is that scrapped units never come back...

[Destiny]

Why not change it to Desert Flies strafing/bombing a spot...?

[Waris]

Well, the old rule is that scrapped units never come back...

The old rule also says no suicide plane attack power.

[Raven]

Awesome update as always. The old gat cannon has 2 firing arms. The new one has only one. So I guess the slugs are more badass.
